Exceptional tour! - Richard was an amazing guide. Knowledgeable and engaging. If you are able to go on Sunday, the course is closed so we were able to walk on the course and learn more without navigating golfers.

Great tour of the Old Course - John was a spectacular guide, so knowledgeable!! My husband is an avid golfer (but not necessarily a history buff) and he enjoyed talking with John and hearing interesting facts about the Old Course. We had just the afternoon in St. Andrews and this was a bucket list for my husband, John made the whole experience even more special!

Visiting the old course - Richard was very knowledgeable and we were able to see some of the Dunhill tournament. We learned a lot about golf and a lot about the course and Richard was a joy to be with.
