Sissi’s St-Andrews héritage really came out and enhanced the tour. The only downside was that the group being double the size did make it hard to hear at times.

Great guide. Very informative. Terrific way to learn about St. Andrews. There is so much more than golf.

Sally_H

Loved it all. So informative and Cici our guide was very entertaining. Learned so much about the history of Scotland while seeing incredible landmarks. The 1.5 hour walking tour flew by.

Overall good experience with Sixt on St. Maartin. With their shuttle, getting to their rental place was quick and easy as was the arrival and departure paperwork. Usually, when we rent, we opt to purchase a company's 100% car protection policy; however, we discovered that it's normal to have a $1200-$1500 deductible on St. Maartin. After driving on the island, we know why. Nonetheless, we would likely use them again at this location.

Picture is not our group. Judith did well, but would recommend that she not bring her dog. He was a little bit of a distraction to her presentation. James was very knowledgeable and helpful.
