Darryl is a great tour guide!

5.00Our driver was Darryl. He was a good guide and took us for two different tours 2 different days. one was to the st Andrew’s golf course! He talked to the employee and they let us take a picture on the bridge on the golf course! It was such a neat experience and such a great friendly driver! We were a group of 4 girls and Darryl made us feel safe the entire time. He made suggestions for other things we were doing and some options for us to do them. It was such a nice experience to have someone from Scotland help us and give us some advice on things to do and see! Thanks for such a great tour Darryl!
Love the small group size, very personal and accommodating

5.00Our driver Darryl was great! He was knowledgeable and very accommodating for our group on a girls trip. We loved being able to book a small tour group for just the four of us. And not one of the big bus tours. Loved getting picked up directly from our hotel. Felt more personal and Darryl’s personality was just icing on the cake. Highly recommend.
Wonderful First Taste of Scotland

5.00Wonderful time getting to see, walk, and watch play on the 27th,18th,1st and 2nd holes of Old St Andrew's. Additional stops at the Coos cows, and other sites in the itinerary were as described. Our guide, Shaq, was wonderful in providing background and insight into and about Scotland's history.

5.00What a fabulous day we spent touring various places in the Kingdom of Fife with our tour guide Brian who, to our delight, picked us up in his finest kilt. He was so knowledgeable about Scottish history and local lore. He let us take our time in spots and move at our own pace. Delightful times touring several villages and St Andrew’s as well as local stops as a chocolate factory and delicious eateries. Lovely Irish shortbreads and macaroons supplied to us and made by his own beloved Maggie. Truly a wonderful day out.
Perfect

Fife is everything and more with Taimur!

5.00We had the best time exploring the Fife Region!!! Our guide, Taimur made the trip for us. He was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and really customized the experience based on our interests. It was my brother, mother, and I on the tour and he really catered to what each of us love. My brother loved St Andrews, especially the golf course (try and book a Sunday trip so you can walk the course!) and I loved searching the coast at Crail for sea glass. He also knew that I really wanted to see hairy coos on the trip so he went out of his way to make that happen.
