Overview

Discover St Andrews Your Way – A Private Luxury Tour from Edinburgh
Explore the charming coastal town of St Andrews on a private tour tailored entirely to your interests, travelling in the comfort of a luxury vehicle with your own local guide.

As a graduate of the University of St Andrews, I can share personal insights into the university's fascinating history, traditions and student life, alongside the stories that make this historic town so special. All of my other guides have their own personal input they bring to each tour also.
Whether you're passionate about golf, captivated by Scottish history, keen to explore Scotland's oldest university, or eager to discover quaint fishing villages, beautiful coastal scenery and local food and drink, we'll shape the day around you. With a flexible itinerary and the freedom to explore at your own pace, this is your opportunity to experience the best of St Andrews and the surrounding Fife coastline.
