Good feel of Scotland in 8 hours. - This was a very pleasant and entertaining tour. Our guide and driver (John) was extremely knowledgeable and gave us interesting facts along the way. The tour fits a lot of stuff into 8 hours and ends with a visit to Lindores Whisky. Highly recommend!

St. Andrew’s, Fife and Scotch Tour - John and the Go Tours team were absolutely brilliant. John is a true tour guide, knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly professional. Despite only having 2 participants out of 16, the tour continued as scheduled, which we truly appreciated. The vehicle was clean, modern, and safe. We spent a wonderful 9 hours exploring and learning, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend!

A must if your in Scotland! - We had such an amazing time on our tour in Edinburgh! John, our guide, was so friendly and welcoming from the very start. He’s incredibly knowledgeable about Scotland’s history—you can really tell he loves what he does. Even though it ended up being just my husband and me on the tour, John was so happy to still take us out and make sure we had a great experience. He even took some lovely photos for us along the way! You get to see so much of Scotland and learn so many fascinating things. Highly, highly recommend this tour!

Great day trip. - Great tour and way to see several places in a day. St.Andrews is beautiful and Lindores Abbey tour is in depth and knowledgeable. I would absolutely go back to both. Our guide was informative and friendly. She was also very considerate of our time and wanted to make sure we were having the best experience. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a day trip from Edinburgh.

Great St. Andrews tour - Small group of 5 which was fabulous. Left on time, driver was very talkative and knowledgeable..however could not hear alot of what she said not using a microphone.. Stops were great and St. Andrews was all I thought it would be! The whisky tasting was just ok and too long but the Abby there was worth it. As a day it was fantastic and would take another tour if back in Scotland..
