2.00I applied and got to the place, but I couldn't find the meeting place. I was by the hotel, but I was there at the meeting time, but I couldn’t join the tour. There was no other choice but to contact him on his cell phone. I'm so sorry.
great knowledge and experience.

5.00Our guide was a retired caddie from the old course and soooooo knowledgeable. He was a great story teller and could answer all of our questions. It was a great experience especially for my husband who was in awe of everything. it was great for me who knows nothing about golf AND my husband who is a golfer.
Top Notch Tour!

5.00This tour was excellent for both the golfers and non-golfers in our family. Lots of history - both old and recent, filled with facts, great photo opportunities. We toured in Sunday, so we’re able to walk the course without interrupting play. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Tour is at a pace thats comfortable with frequent stops to learn. This was a bucket list tour for my husband and didn’t disappoint!

5.00Our guide Richard provided great history on the course and St Andrew’s, he was very informative with funny stories. Unfortunately due to a tournament we could not get actually on the course but could walk the perimeter. Good tour to take!
The amount of history...

5.00This guy is so knowledgeable about history and the golf course! He doesn’t waste time for pictures (only when we did not have to wait around). He was entertaining as well!

2.00The tour guide talked very fast and of the 4 of us, 1 of us maintained interest. That was only because he is a Golf Professional. The Pics on the Swilkin Bridge was the highlight. The information was interesting but hard to keep up with. Would do it again with another tour guide.
Great experience

3.00Nice enough guy, but definitely had a spiel. Spoke very rapidly and didn’t invite questions. Everywhere you go is accessible to the public as long as you don’t interrupt play (marshals will instruct you). Was just OK, while I learned a few things, info conveyed could have been done in half the time.
