Overview

SELLS OUT IN SUMMER - book early to avoid disappointment.

Our tour is a must do on a visit to St Andrews. Of course, it's the home of golf in Scotland, but there's much more to see around town. A centre beaming with long-time locals, students from all over the world and even royalty! When walking around, you get a sense of the traditions that have been held for over 800 years, as well as modern Scottish town life all at once.

Join us on a 1.5 hour leisurely stroll around the main sights of the town with a local, expert guide. Learn about it’s history as you walk in the footsteps of 8th century witches, university traditions and golfing legends who stepped foot on the same cobbled streets, as well as modern life in the town today. Your local guide will bring St Andrews alive.

Key sights:

St Andrews' Cathedral
St Andrews' Castle
The Old Course
North St & Market St
The University of Saint Andrews
St. Salvator's Chapel
and many more hidden gems!
