Reviews
Wonderful scenery on the routes and the perfect stops in each part. Anstruther is lovely and quaint. St Andrews is majestical and plenty of time to look round and get fantastic food. Falkland is charming with a beautiful palace to explore. the journey was made all the more enjoyable with the guide Marty not only informative about the history but very entertaining. the day flew by.
We chose a 16-passenger car. There were 12 people in the group and the seats were very spacious. Before going to St Andrews, we will stop at two small fishing villages, but due to wind and rain on the morning of departure, there were no people there. Fortunately, the weather cleared up when we arrived at St Andrews, and the Castle, Cathedral and Old Golf Course were all very easy to take photos. Lunch is at your own expense, and the tour guide will also recommend dining places. On the way back, we will pass Falkland Village, but there are no attractions.
A town worth visiting, quiet and beautiful, with a beautiful coastline. Golf lovers should not miss it. The driver and guide are humorous! ^_^
its a whole day tour. nice to see st andrews university and the ruins.
The fishing village of Fife is peaceful and beautiful, and St.Andrews has both historical sites and natural scenery. It is a seaside town, and the fish and chips are also very fresh and delicious.
The President's route is quite relaxing and is a relatively cost-effective route. The driver is also a tour guide. I admire the talents of the British driver.
You can see the Scottish countryside and freely stroll around the University of St Andrews. The tour guides are knowledgeable, but the price is a bit expensive.
Everything is on time. We love all the places that was in the itinerary.
St. Andrews is a very peaceful and beautiful place, home to the University of St. Andrews and many unique shops. The fishing villages in Fife weren't as picturesque as I'd imagined, but the overall trip was still good.
It was fantastic. Our guide drove and provided excellent and entertaining explanations.
