Beautiful day experiencing interests (tv, film, golf, exploring) - Loved the Day trip to St. Andrews! Ben was very knowledgeable and easy going and structured our day perfectly, allowing us a lunch stop at the #1 rated Fish and Chips in the UK (which were delicious)! St. Andrews was so beautiful, just wish we had more time there, as my husband and I stuck around The Old Course as we’re big golfers but would have loved to see more of the town.

Brilliant trip - Chloe was really knowledgeable and told us all about the history of places we passed and gave us several recommendations of places to see or dine in each place we stopped.
Had a brilliant trip and with only 6 passengers, it felt like a really personalised and tailored experience.

Excellent day your from Edinburgh - Yet another excellent day tour with Highland Experience, my third so far. Our driver/guide Graham was very knowledgeable and gave a running commentary as we drove through the countryside, giving plenty of facts and insights. Ample time was given at each stop for a good look around. Would certainly recommend Highland Experience.

Great tour out of Edinburgh - Great experience with a small group (maybe 16 people) which is more our style. Guide was informative and funny but not overbearing. Would recommend this tour

Tour to St. Andrews - This was a wonderful tour. Even my daughter, who is not a fan of bus tours, felt it was one of the highlights of our visit to Scotland. It is not overly long (9:30 to 5:30), so you’re not exhausted when you return. Our tour guide, Mike, was great; he was cheerful, informative, and friendly. The stops were meaningful ones, not just bathroom & coffee stops. We enjoyed “the best fish & chips in Scotland” at a fishing village, had several hours on our own in St. Andrews, and spent time in Falkland. All together, a terrific day. We’d highly recommend this tour.

Lovely trip - Very enjoyable day.
Loved Falkland, wish we had spent more time there.
St Andrews was lovely.
Our guide Ian was very informative and he played great music.
Although he told some very dubious jokes.😄

Great intro to take before venturing out on your own - The bus driver, Cameron, was a wealth of information, sharing anecdotes and history during the drive. The in-between stops were too short for taking in the charms of the areas. Made suggestions for other points of interest to visit along the way. We did have lots of time at St Andrews & it was a beautiful, sunny day--a rarity, apparently :)
