Wonderful walking tour with great stories and terrific insights from our guide Ken. Thoroughly recommend it.
Conor the guide was knowledgeable and good fun. Good tour and got to see lots of places you would not normally see if you were just walking around.
Ken gave us a great tour of St Andrews. He was very informative and knowledgeable. We saw a lot in less than two hours. Highly recommend!
My tour guide has so many knowledge and know so many special details about the history of person and structures he made this trip very memorable
Fiona was very engaging, friendly and fun be with. She took us through a journey which taught us so much about the history of St Andrews and we had a very memorable and pleasant experience. Her eloquence brought everything to life. Thank for a lovely time. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.
Ken was a brilliant guide and it was a really interesting tour at 2pm on 11th August.
An excellent way to get some history and an introduction to the area. Highly recommend.
Great walk through St Andrews, learning about the town's history, its university, and about golf. Fiona was very kind and knowledgeable, and adjusted to our need for a slower pace.
We had an excellent experience with Walking Tours in St. Andrews. Our town tour was so wonderful and largely thanks to our guide, Ken. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, informative, and engaging and he brought the history of St. Andrews to life through the stories and details he shared. He was also friendly, approachable, and happy to answer questions throughout the tour (I always seem to have lots of questions). We would highly recommend this tour and especially with Ken as your guide!
Great walk with clear narrative around golf, religion and education. Fun and engaging and recommend strongly
