St. Andrew’s and Falkland - I booked this tour with Timberbush via my hotel and I am so glad I did! It is an excellent day trip with plenty of time to explore. Ewan is a great tour guide. Funny, pleasant and smart - he brings Scotland to life with his tales and imagery. Will do another tour with this company!

The Highland's Experience - Our trip to Edinburgh, Scotland was truly unforgettable. We experienced the vibrant energy of the city and ventured out on tours to St. Andrews and Loch Ness. The countryside’s natural beauty, blended with its rich culture and history, revealed a captivating and timeless charm.

Excellent Day Out - It was a wonderful way to spend the day outside and outside of the city. The stopping points were definitely picture worthy. Also, stopping in Anstruther on the way to St Andrews, and in Falkland on the way back, were exactly right for stretching the legs. We were in a good group; everyone was back to the van on time every time. It made for a great day since we never waited for late arrivals. Our driver/ guide, Marty, was very funny and knowledgeable about the area and Scottish history and Fife’s place in history. We had a good time and would recommend it.

Nice pace and great views! - Great pace (didn’t feel rushed) and beautiful scenery. Three hours in St. Andrew’s was the perfect amount of time. Fishing villages were really cute. Shafiq was great!

St Andrew’s Day Trip - Great trip with lots to see. There is a lot more to the trip than just seeing the Old Course. Our driver Marty did a great job with his sense of humor and knowledge.

St. Andrew’s highlight - Much was a repeat from the Outlander Film Locations day trip. Except the long ride to St. Andrews. We opted to end our tour there and spend the entire afternoon at Saint Andrews, had a nice dinner there, and took the train back, which was only an hour.
