Rondreisopties
Reisroute
Maak kennis met de drie bewoners van Highland 'Coos', Thelma, Louise en Angus
De Forth Rail Bridge, een UNESCO-werelderfgoedlocatie gebouwd in 1890, overspant de rivier de Forth naast de zusterbruggen gebouwd in 1964 en voor het laatst in 2017.
Het Renaissance Falkland Palace werd gebouwd in opdracht van koning James IV en was een favoriete toevluchtsoord voor Mary Queen of Scots. Het heeft ook de oudste echte tennisbaan ter wereld. De populaire tv-serie Outlander werd gefilmd in het dorp, waar Frank en Claire hun tweede huwelijksreis vierden, en als je een fan bent van de serie, zul je het meteen herkennen.
St. Andrews, de thuisbasis van Golf, de oudste universiteit van Schotland en een grote kathedraal die al in 1158 werd gebouwd, was het centrum van het katholicisme in Schotland. Je krijgt de kans om op de foto te gaan op de iconische Old Course en het kleine middeleeuwse stadje te verkennen, vol met geplaveide straatjes, leuke cafés en onafhankelijke winkels.
We maken onze weg langs de Oost-Neuk, door de vele vissersdorpjes voordat we stoppen bij het eens zo bruisende vissersdorp Pittenweem, waar we St Fillan's Cave bezoeken, de thuisbasis van een Ierse missionaris in de 7e eeuw
Een van de beste stranden in Fife voor de jacht op zeeschelpen en zeeglas, die vaak op het strand te vinden zijn dankzij de twee lokale glasfabrieken die hier 100 jaar geleden gevestigd waren. Het ongewenste glas werd toen in zee gedumpt en spoelt hier nog steeds aan op het strand nadat het door de zee en het zand is gepolijst.

We had a wonderful day with our guide Phil. He was very knowledgeable about the area and brought us to off the beaten path places to see things like a Johnny Cash bench since we lived in Nashville for so long. He helped by taking pictures of us at St. Andrews which we will always treasure. Very open to making the tour and stops what we wanted since it was just us. Had a delicious lunch at Balgove Larder cafe during our day with him. Would highly recommend the tour to see St. Andrews and the fishing villages.
Paul with E2G Tours provided the best day of our week in Scotland! We were picked up in front of our AirB&B on time with a comfortable, roomy vehicle. Paul was super friendly and a great conversationalist for our day together. He shared lots of information on landmarks we passed while driving and those we stopped at during the day. Our family wanted to spend extended time at St Andrews and we were easily accommodated. We all especially enjoyed the candid pictures he took of us during the tour. Most importantly, Paul was an excellent driver! Highly recommend
So happy to read you had a great day with Paul! The St Andrews tour is my personal favourite and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the recommendation and 5 stars
Shak was wonderful. He was funny and very informative. When we got to st Andrew’s we felt like we played golf just from this walking tour!! Cave was great too!! Icing on the cake was the Scottish snacks our families new treats!
Thank you so much Kim! Lovely review and glad you liked the tour, it's my personal favourite! Shak will be pleased with the feedback :) take care!
Shak was our awesome driver and guide. He was kind, efficient, and very knowledgeable of the area. Because of him our day could not have been better.
Thank you very much for the 5 stars and lovely review! Shak will be pleased with this feedback :)
Our driver was Darryl. He was a good guide and took us for two different tours 2 different days. one was to the st Andrew’s golf course! He talked to the employee and they let us take a picture on the bridge on the golf course! It was such a neat experience and such a great friendly driver! We were a group of 4 girls and Darryl made us feel safe the entire time. He made suggestions for other things we were doing and some options for us to do them. It was such a nice experience to have someone from Scotland help us and give us some advice on things to do and see! Thanks for such a great tour Darryl!
Thank you so much for the 5 stars! Darryl will be pleased and I'm so glad that you all felt safe, that means a lot ❤️
Our driver Darryl was great! He was knowledgeable and very accommodating for our group on a girls trip. We loved being able to book a small tour group for just the four of us. And not one of the big bus tours. Loved getting picked up directly from our hotel. Felt more personal and Darryl’s personality was just icing on the cake. Highly recommend.
Our private tours are always appreciated over the larger mixed group bus tours, many thanks for your 5 star rating and praise for your guide.
Shak was a wonderful guide! He’s friendly, knowledgeable and has a great personality. He shared his love of Scotland as we visited St. Andrews, Falkland Palace and a great little fishing village. The tour was a wonderful first taste of Scotland.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. Shak will be pleased to read this :)
Wonderful time getting to see, walk, and watch play on the 27th,18th,1st and 2nd holes of Old St Andrew's. Additional stops at the Coos cows, and other sites in the itinerary were as described. Our guide, Shaq, was wonderful in providing background and insight into and about Scotland's history.
For a golf lover, nothing beats a tour to the 'old course', many thanks for your 5 star rating
Shak was wonderful very knowledgeable and very fun We had a great time would highly recommend his service.
Thanks so much Brenda! Glad you had a great day with Shak
Great Scottish experience! Our driver Gerry was very knowledgeable and filled us with entertaining tales and truths of Scottish history. Took us to secret places we would never have found. He went above and beyond to customize our adventure.
Gerry will be grateful of your compliments, he takes great pride in all of his tours and is 100% customer focused. Many thanks Scott for taking the time to leave a review, enjoy what time you have left in Scotland
