Taiymur was fabulous! He was incredibly knowledgeable about everything and made the experience both informative and enjoyable. He was also very accommodating, always keeping my grandmother in mind when deciding whether to walk or drive between locations, which we really appreciated. He knew exactly which places were worth going into, making the most of our time. One unexpected highlight was taking us to the St Andrews driving range, where we got to hit some golf balls. We hadn't expected to do that, and it made the day even more memorable. Overall, Taiymur was an outstanding guide, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, knowledgeable, and engaging tour.
Thank you for your lovely review of our tour and guide Taiymur. We awlways do our best to ensure everyone in the group has a great day, and we are glad Taiymur paid great attention to everyone's needs to ensure that was the case. I am glad you all and your grandmother had a great time, and we hope to see you again!
We had a wonderful day with our guide Diane! She was very knowledgeable and it was very easy to spend the day with her. We have a new friend in Scotland. Never a dull moment we had so much fun and learned so much in just a day! Thank you E2G tours for making this private tour affordable. Without your service we would not have made it to St. Andrews which has been a bucket list for my husband and me for a long time.
We are so pleased to have been able to take you to St Andrews so you can tick that item off your bucket list, and that you an an amazing and memorable day. Until we meet again!
We recently ventured out from Edinburgh to St Andrews for a day out with colleagues. All the team were so personable and were very good at keeping us all on track as we all know how hard it is to manage a big group. The tour was well thought out and planned to our personal travel commitments (e.g making trains and flights). the drivers were so knowledgeable and funny it really made the experience. Snacks and umbrellas also provided just showed that the little extras make the trip even more memorable. Thank you all!
We really appreciate you taking the time out to leave us such a thoughtful and complimentary review, its greatly appreciated, many thanks :)
The tour was amazing! We had the best time and went to loads of cool places, we even saw the hairy coos. The guides were super friendly and made the experience even more enjoyable. 10/10, can’t wait to come back and do another!
We really appreciate your feedback and its always nice to hear our guests have had a 10/10 ecperience.
What a fabulous trip! Martin our guide was absolutely brilliant and pulled out all the stops to keep everyone happy - especially the Outlander fans in the group 😊
Many thanks for your feedback and 5 star review
Great day trip from Edinburgh! A group of 12 of us went for this tour and we had a great day. The stops were incredibly scenic and our tour guides were amazing! Would definitely recommend!
Many thanks for the 5 star review, its greatly appreciated.
I had such a great day on the St Andrews & Fishing Villages of Fife tour from Glasgow! Martin, our driver, was brilliant, really friendly and made the journey super comfortable. Christie, our guide, was fantastic too, she kept everything fun and interesting with loads of great stories and little quizzes along the way. It was amazing getting to see so many different places and the whole day flew by. Honestly such a fun, relaxed way to explore and learn, I would 100% recommend!
Thanks for taking the timeout to leave us such wonderful feedback.
The team are absolutely amazing. The attention to detail, the genuine personableness and well- thought out routes made the experience all the more special. The day ran so smoothly and I’ve had the best time. Well planned!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such lovely feedback, Nicole! Really appreciate it and glad you had a good day despite the weather. You rocked that poncho!
What a fabulous day! So easy, comfortable vehicles, fun drivers, taking us to all the best places. We visited castles, beaches, and of course, Outlander spots!
We had a wonderful day with Taimur! St Andrews was the biggest draw for this tour and he didn’t disappoint! We had time to walk around some of the course, take our pictures on the iconic Swilcan Bridge and purchase souvenirs of the Old Course. Faulkland Palace was amazing to see along with the cave in the Fife Villages. Great tour and was wonderful to have extra room…..we booked a vehicle for 6 for 4 of us and it was wonderful. Highly recommend working with Martin and Taimur.
Thank you so much for your review, Sally! St Andrews and Pittenweem are some of my favourite places in Scotland so I'm glad you enjoyed it :) happy to read that Taimur made your day special too. Take care!
