5The Old Course
Morgan was a great guide. Knowledgeable and entertaining
5Very enjoyable
Mike was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and the present day course
5Mike was very...
Mike was very knowledgeable and funny, he gave us a great tour of The Old Course and had recommendations for lunch afterward. A great experience overall!
4Great info but a tad short
Our tour guide, Ken, had a lot of great information and trivia to share. He was also very friendly and accommodating, snapping photos for us through the tour. It was just a tad short - getting to see other parts of the course would have been nice.
5Yes worth seeing on Sunday
We went to St Andrews on a Sunday and didn’t know that we could walk the whole course even picnic on the fairways! Lol The course has its church rest day and it’s also considered a local park, so go figure the propaganda and compromises made over scotch.
5Book this tour!
Ed was wonderful! We were able to customize our itinerary mainly focusing on The Old Course and he gave us some great suggestions. He also gave us a tour of the town with a lot of history. And he gave us a list of must-see places for the rest of our time in Scotland. Highly recommend!

St Andrews stands on the east coast of Fife, on a rocky shore beside the North Sea, and is known throughout the world as the home of golf, which has been played on the Old Course since the fifteenth century.
