Great trip to St. Andres and more! - My family had a wonderful time with Ed on our full day excursion to St. Andrews. We saw so many things, it was really a full day full that included not just all St. Andrews had to see but some bonus time in a fishing village and an Outlander stop at Falkland Palace. You cover so much in just one day. Most of all, driving in Scotland is no easy task. The rural roads are very tricky to navigate, so I highly recommend a guide like Ed to take you on this type of day trip. If anyone in your group loves golf, the Old Course is an amazing sight to see. Ed gave us a great day out!

An amazing private tour of Scotland’s St Andrews and small fishing village - Our private day tour with Ed was amazing! Since we booked the private tour, Ed worked with us to include additional time for the stops most important to us. The day trip included a short stop at Anstruther (a small fishing village), tue town of St Andrews (cathedral and castle ruins, the university, a longer stop at St Andrews Old Course, and a brief stop at Queensferry on the way back. The quality of this tour was top notch all thanks to Ed. He easily shared historical notes of interest, additional context where needed, and well placed humor along the way. He knew all the best places for those Kodak moments. He was an excellent driver, and we felt safe the entire time. He even brought extra bottled water, which came in handy. When we return, we will definitely be booking again with Ed Private Tours!! Our family thanks you for a fabulous day Ed!!
