Itinerario
Lasciamo Edimburgo, attraversando l'iconico Forth Bridge, nell'antico "Regno di Fife", passando per Aberdour prima di proseguire nell'East Neuk di Fife.
Ci fermiamo nella città di Anstruther, sede dello Scottish Fisheries Museum, poi viaggiamo attraverso i villaggi di Pittenweem, Crail e St. Monans, un tempo fiorenti centri di pesca che sono stati resi prosperi dal commercio all'interno del continente.
Arriviamo nella bellissima città medievale di St. Andrews in tempo per il pranzo. Qui si può godere di una passeggiata per la città, dove il principe William ha incontrato Kate, sede della più antica università della Scozia, famosa Cattedrale (extra opzionale) e campo da golf. Godetevi circa tre ore di tempo libero per esplorare i suoi edifici medievali e le meravigliose strade acciottolate del centro, e pranzare e rinfrescarsi.
Diretti verso casa, attraversiamo le colline di Lomond fino a Falkland per una sosta fotografica. Il villaggio è stato utilizzato come ambientazione per Inverness negli anni '60 nella serie Outlander.
Godetevi una fantastica sosta fotografica al South Queenferry, che offre una vista spettacolare sui 3 ponti che attraversano il Forth.

Our guide/driver, Jim, was excellent. Jim was very professional and shared quite a bit of very interesting history and accomplishments of famous and not so famous Scotts. The trip itself was very nice. The scenery is beautiful and St. Andrews did not disappoint. Jim left no doubt in our minds that he is very proud to be from Scotland, and after spending some time here we can understand why. We also went on the Loch Ness tour the day before with David and we enjoyed that immensely.
Day trip to St Andrew’s from Edinburgh with a few charming stops along the way. The main event was St Andrew’s where got 3hrs to explore the University and the iconic Golf Course. A nice little bonus were the photo stops along the way. They were short but enough to get some photos and or a coffee. Special shout out to our guide Gregor (who wore a kilt) and our driver Peter. Both were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your day in St Andrews and the scenic stops along the way. It's great to hear you had plenty of time to explore and make the most of your visit. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Gregor and Peter, who will be thrilled to know they helped make the experience so memorable. Thank you for recommending Timberbush
Claire was an outstanding historian whose background and experience enhanced the entire trip.. The stops along the way were timed perfectly.
Gary, our guide was excellent. The tour was good a full day. Got to see everything we wanted. The only thing keeping me from giving us a five star review is the bus was horrible. It was small and cramped. Our knees were up against the seat in front of us as were pretty much everybody else on the bus we were at the back of the bus and the air was also bad. We had to keep asking to raise the air and people next to us kept saying thank you because it was so hot in the back.
Beautiful tour through the countryside, stops in small villages, and of course the amazing St. Andrews and it's historic Golf Club with 3 hours to enjoy the city on your own. Jada was a terrific guide and also very skilled driver. Note: not a full sized luxury bus so it's a bit tight without WiFi and not much overhead storage, just a small space. I still highly recommend this tour and will repeat it next year with my wife!
The excursion was great. Some places were just in passing, like the place where Outlander was filmed (if you want to enter the castle and the gardens, you have to go specifically and there is a closing time at 4:30 PM with an extra cost), but the guide was a sweetheart, very kind, and took the time to explain everything. The university and the city of St. Andrews are simply incredible, one of the oldest in the entire United Kingdom (16th c. ) with a beautiful coastline and the oldest golf course in the world right by the sea. The whole tour is totally worth it.
We did the St Andrew’s Tour with Johnny. He was awesome! He told us a lot of interesting stories throughout the tour about the history of Scotland! It was amazing!
The experience was pretty good overall! Our guide was very informative and kept us safe and happy. The only issues were with our driver/guide Marty. Multiple times when we as the group would return to the coach from one of the villages, I would be one of the last people to get situated into my seat, but he would start driving before I would have the chance to sit down and buckle up my seatbelt. He was also aware of my presence and status of not being seated because his eyes met with mine in his rear-view mirror before he would start driving. Another issue stemmed from him telling too many jokes throughout the journey. They were somewhat funny at first but by the end of the journey they became grating and irritating as they were more like repetitive puns rather than jokes. A third issue was more so in relation to the coach we were all driving in. The leg room was nonexistent and the music was extremely loud at times which was a bit distracting and jarring especially towards the end of the tour. Overall this was a great experience to visit the fishing towns, but our guide and coach could use a little TLC for the future.
This all-day tour with our multigenerational family was an absolute delight! Our guide, Stuart, provided knowledgeable commentary and tweaked the schedule slightly to ensure we had optimal time in both the fishing villages and St Andrews. Our group of twelve highly recommends this itinerary and Timberbush services.
Fist experience in Scotland so I tried to find entertainment outside Edinburgh since I wasn't driving. This trip to St. Andrew's accomplished two things. The fishing villages along the way plus St. Andrew's it's self.
