We’d already been in St. Andrew’s a day prior to taking the tour, and had walked past many of the places of interest discussed on the tour. I was already aware of the historical importance of the town. I’m so glad we took the tour because I learned a lot more detail and context for the events that took place in this tiny town. Our tour guide was a pro, and happily answered all questions. The tour was a nice pace. It’s definitely worth your time to join one of these tours, you’ll be glad you did.

Big thanks to Verity who was very engaging, insightful and shared her great sense of humour throughout the tour! There were so many things I’d learnt from places I had gone past previously in the last few days. The history degree certainly wasn’t for nothing 😜 Thanks Verity!

This tour was incredible. It was just enough time to see all of the highlights and interesting hidden gems in St. Andrews. If it’s your first time visiting - we highly recommend starting the day with this tour. James was such a great tour guide and very knowledgeable of all the rich history of St. Andrews.
