Quick and fun

Very fun and helpful guide with a lot of stories and humor. Would recommend. Overslept the alarm, but they were very nice and waited for me a little extra.

St Andrews & Falkland Palace day trip such a fantastic experience!

A huge thank you to Rose for making our St Andrews & Falkland Palace day trip such a fantastic experience! Rose was absolutely brilliant—not only was she an engaging storyteller, but she also expertly drove the coach throughout the day. As we travelled through the Scottish countryside, she brought each location to life by connecting the history and landmarks with fascinating stories, all delivered with a great sense of humour that kept everyone entertained. I tip my hat to Rose for juggling both roles so effortlessly. Despite unexpected detours, she navigated them safely and professionally while somehow continuing to share stories and interesting insights without missing a beat. The carefully chosen music throughout the journey was a fantastic touch, perfectly complementing the stories and adding even more atmosphere to the day. Thank you, Rose, for your warmth, energy, and passion. You made the journey just as memorable as the destinations. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute and would highly recommend this tour!

Great day with lots to see

Wonderful day exploring the area. A quick stop to satisfy the Outlander fans, a longer stop in St. Andrew’s to admire the golf course, the Cathedral, and some beautiful shops and then for the most excellent fish and chips in Anstruther. The guide Ian was amazing and played great music, gave us some really interesting facts about Scotland and the places we were visiting and kept us engaged with lots of laughs!

Beautiful day experiencing interests (tv, film, golf, exploring)

Loved the Day trip to St. Andrews! Ben was very knowledgeable and easy going and structured our day perfectly, allowing us a lunch stop at the #1 rated Fish and Chips in the UK (which were delicious)! St. Andrews was so beautiful, just wish we had more time there, as my husband and I stuck around The Old Course as we’re big golfers but would have loved to see more of the town.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for your wonderful review of our tour and I am delighted you had a such a good experience with our guide Ben and also loved our classic Fish and Chips! Kind regards, Scott Highland Experience Tours

Brilliant trip

Chloe was really knowledgeable and told us all about the history of places we passed and gave us several recommendations of places to see or dine in each place we stopped. Had a brilliant trip and with only 6 passengers, it felt like a really personalised and tailored experience.

Operator response

Hi there, Thank you for your kind words! I’m so pleased to hear you enjoyed the small-group experience and found Chloe’s historical insights and local tips helpful. It sounds like a truly memorable and personal journey through Scotland. We’d love to have you join us again in the future! Kind regards, Cameron Highland Experience Tours
