Fantastic private guided tour. - The tour was amazing and so professional. It was just my husband and I. Verity was our guide and she accommodated us on our pick up location which was perfect. We had parked at the Old Course and had walked to lunch at Little Italy which is amazing. Verity met us outside the restaurant and we finished the tour at Old Course. She recommended we go for drinks at the Russacks afterwards. She was spot on with that recommendation. Her tour was thorough and very interesting. She had a great sense of humor and really accommodated us. Highly recommend.

Windy Walk through St. Andrew’s - We met Carol at noon on a very windy day. Because we had 13:30 lunch reservations at the Jigger Inn, She reversed the normal course of the tour so that we could end there. She was very personable, knowledgeable and efficient in leading the tour pausing at appropriate intervals to brief us on historical events that took place there. We heartily recommend a walking tour with her.

Don't Miss this Tour! - THIS TOUR IS A MUST! Being our first time in St. Andrews, we were at first glance taken in by its historical character, beauty and seaside/golf uniqueness. We needed to see and hear more. Ian was our guide and he did not disappoint. A third year student at St. Andrews University, majoring in philosophy no less, he was engaging, knowledgeable, and quick with Scottish wit and humor. He went longer than the allotted 1.5 hours, primarily because he took every question and responded in-depth, but it went by in a blink. A thoroughly fun experience!

Wonderul tour of the Old Course - Our group of six had a terrific tour of The Old Course, led by John. Not only did he offer technical aspects of the course but he shared fun and interesting historical trivia about the legendary course. Four of us are not golfers but still enjoyed the tour very much. John did a great job! We highly recommend this tour.

No one showed up from guide service. - Guide had an emergency and did not show up. No replacement showed up either. Not sure if this is commonplace for this guide service but please be aware.
