Excellent tour! - Ken was a brilliant guide. We got lots of historical data regarding St Andrews golf course, st Andrews cathedral, with the political and religious evolution of the city. It was a delightful two hour experience. Highly recommend the company and Ken.

Great tour despite hurricane force winds - John was our guide. He shared an incredible amount of information. All the history was great. He did work hard to shelter us from the wind since it was blowing over 50 mph at times. Took great pictures and knew all the right places for perfect shots.

A must for any golf enthusiast - We just loved this experience with John. He had so much interesting facts about the Old Course and we loved walking part of the course with him. He pointed out fun facts and we just loved seeing the old course with our own eyes versus the camera. You definitely grasp the difficulty of the course in person. Highly recommend for any golf lover or fan of golf history. Sunday is the best day to visit when the old course becomes a park since there is no golfing.

St Andrews with Carol - You will learn so many neat facts about the golf course, the town, and university. Great time and great area! Btw, Carol is the best guide and knows all the best tidbits. Her knowledge of history along with her kind demeanor make her a superb guide.

GREAT TOUR! Highly Recommend the Private Walking Tour. - WONDERFUL experience. We were a group of four on this tour. Our guide, Steve, was perfect. He had many many interesting things to say about the golf museum, shops that line the course, homes that line the course, legends of the game, course history, etc. as we walked down the 1st and 2nd tee - green and then turned around and came back the 17th and 18th. We TOTALLY enjoyed the experience. Without our guide we would have no idea what the history was nor the great stories he told about the course, the town and figures of St. Andrews' golf history. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
