Excellent 1.5 hour tour of St Andrews - A very informative tour of the town with our knowledgeable and charming guide, Anna. I had a really good understanding of the history of the town having undertaken that tour.

Highly recommend this tour - Excellent morning spent with our guide Verity who was so knowledgeable and funny. We were lucky with sunny weather but would highly recommend the tour either way. Gives good details about the history of St Andrews as well as the golf and student life in the town.

Such interesting insights! - Booked this tour as a way to gain an insight into St Andrews history and we were really pleased with how well it went. Judith was our guide and as we were the only people booked on the tour it felt very private and exclusive. Judith had a wealth of knowledge which made each stop so interesting. She was able to answer all our questions about the town and much more. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend everyone visiting the town to take advantage of this tour to learn about it's interesting history. Thank you Judith!

British Humour Wins - A St. Andrews’ Must-Do - 10 out of 10! Best walking tour we’ve had since moving back to Scotland. Verity, our tour guide, was full of knowledge, charisma, wit, and British humour. We were pleasantly surprised with how much unique history was provided as well as the delivery. This is a must-do if you have the opportunity to visit St. Andrews.

10/10 tour! - Cece was fantastic, giving us fascinating insights into life in St Andrews today whilst also peeling away layers of history as we walked the streets. Thanks for making this a fun, informative tour.

Excellent tour of historic St Andrews. - On a not too good day in February (bit wet and windy) Verity gave us an excellent tour of some of the many historic sites of St Andrews. As comparitive “locals” we have visited St Andrews many times but Verity opened many doors into areas and buildings that were all “new” to us. Extremely knowledgeable and friendly guide. Highly recommended.

Cheers for Cece the charismatic! - My partner and I are Scottish, however, had never visited St Andrews. As keen golfers we were interested primarily in that side of things and didn't have much awareness of the vibrant medieval history of the city. Our guide, Cece was a delight and charismatically painted a picture of what it was like to live in St Andrews in the 1500's - turns our it wasn't very nice for many! We learned a lot and afterwards, were able to continue exploring with a new enlightened outlook. We found ourselves noticing small things around the centre we wouldn't have given a second glance a few hours before. We would've loved a longer tour with Cece!
