Exceptional Guide - Wonderful tour, great historian and speaker. Truly appreciated his knowledge of the game, history and future expansion of the area. This was a very enjoyable tour not only for golf enthusiasts, he covers the St. Andrews history in great detail.

Ben, the Shaman of St. Andrews - We walked around the neighborhood, cemetery, golf course, and campus of St Andrews. Our guide Ben, was so knowledgeable and cool! He gave us insights that most people would never know or read about because he LIVES IN THE TOWN. We ended the tour by walking the course and taking pictures on the iconic bridge. Ask for Ben if you do this tour, you won’t regret it.

Good Tour of St Andrews - Good tour of St Andrews - combined some history with golf which was good. But it was difficult to hear the guide, partially because the streets were busy and noisy, and partially because he often spoke to the entire group of almost 20 people as he was walking which made it very difficult to hear him unless you were right next to him. Tour takes you into the university campus and into the grounds of the cathedral and ends near the old course.
