Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Tag indsigt i Loch og Lochleven Slot, hvor Mary, dronning af skotterne blev holdt fanget i et år i det 16. århundrede.
Besøg Skotlands første udpegede bevaringsby og hjemsted for Falkland Palace, bygget i begyndelsen af det 16. århundrede. Tag dig tid til at gå rundt i denne charmerende middelalderby, som du måske kender fra tv-serien Outlander.
En by, der tager sit navn fra Skotlands beskyttende helligdom; Legenden hævder, at relikvier af Saint Andrew blev bragt hertil og grundlagde (nu ødelagt) katedral. Dette er også hjemsted for St Andrew's University, der blev grundlagt i omkring 1410. Alumni omfatter prins William og Kate Middleton, der mødtes her, mens de var studerende. Byen er også berømt for at være hjemsted for golf, som har været spillet her i over 600 år og set golf udvikle sig til den form, vi genkender i dag. Den 'Old Course' er den ældste offentlige kursus i verden og regelmæssigt vært for Open Championship, normalt hvert femte år. Vi vil have masser af tid i St Andrew's at udforske byen, se den ødelagte slot & katedral, tage ind i golfbanen og have lidt frokost.
Abbeyen blev grundlagt i 1191 og blev besøgt af mange konger. Dette kan være Skotlands ældste destilleri, da det har den ældste skriftlige optegnelse fra 1494 om spiritus destilleret til kongen. Vores besøg vil omfatte en omfattende tur i destilleriet og en smagningssession, der følger. Ikke-alkoholiske muligheder er til rådighed for smagen.

Jenny was an amazing guide. She told us lots of history, gave us great recs at each location and plenty of time to explore. The playlist was a nice touch.
Thank you so much for this. We are really pleased you had such a great day and we will make sure Jenny sees your kind words. She really does go the extra mile and it is lovely to hear the playlist got a mention too. We hope to welcome you back on another tour soon. Cheers, James
Great tour, from start to bottom. Full of interesting tid bits if you like history, great views or whiskey. St. Andrews its a lovely place and the whiskey... damn it's a shame i cannot buy these bottles easily where im from. Special mention to our bus driver, guide and entertainer John he was on top of everything with interesting facts, funny stories or just good conversations.
The whisky problem is real! St Andrews and that distillery make for a brilliant day out, but getting those bottles back home is always the tricky bit. John sounds like he was on top form with the facts, stories and conversation. Really glad you had such a great time. Cheers, James
This was a very pleasant and entertaining tour. Our guide and driver (John) was extremely knowledgeable and gave us interesting facts along the way. The tour fits a lot of stuff into 8 hours and ends with a visit to Lindores Whisky. Highly recommend!
John and the Go Tours team were absolutely brilliant. John is a true tour guide, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly professional. Despite only having 2 participants out of 16, the tour continued as scheduled, which we truly appreciated. The vehicle was clean, modern, and safe. We spent a wonderful 9 hours exploring and learning, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!
We had such an amazing time on our tour in Edinburgh! John, our guide, was so friendly and welcoming from the very start. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland’s history—you can really tell he loves what he does. Even though it ended up being just my husband and me on the tour, John was so happy to still take us out and make sure we had a great experience. He even took some lovely photos for us along the way! You get to see so much of Scotland and learn so many fascinating things. Highly, highly recommend this tour!
A great day that absolutely delivered on what the tour promised. We loved our time in St Andrews and the whiskey experience was excellent. Jenny was great. knowledgeable and friendly and looked after us extremely well.
The itinerary was excellent. Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and a great story teller. We loved listening the Scottish songs during the trip. The bus was very comfortable. Highly recommended.
Tour was amazing and loved John, he was full of so much knowledge! Loved all the stops but? Would have preferred to stay in St. Andrews for 3 hours not 2.
Small group of 5 which was fabulous. Left on time, driver was very talkative and knowledgeable..however could not hear alot of what she said not using a microphone.. Stops were great and St. Andrews was all I thought it would be! The whisky tasting was just ok and too long but the Abby there was worth it. As a day it was fantastic and would take another tour if back in Scotland..
Great tour and way to see several places in a day. St.Andrews is beautiful and Lindores Abbey tour is in depth and knowledgeable. I would absolutely go back to both. Our guide was informative and friendly. She was also very considerate of our time and wanted to make sure we were having the best experience. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip from Edinburgh.
