St Andrews, Falkland and Fife Villages Tour from Edinburgh

Great experience with a small group (maybe 16 people) which is more our style. Guide was informative and funny but not overbearing. Would recommend this tour

The bus driver, Cameron, was a wealth of information, sharing anecdotes and history during the drive. The in-between stops were too short for taking in the charms of the areas. Made suggestions for other points of interest to visit along the way. We did have lots of time at St Andrews & it was a beautiful, sunny day--a rarity, apparently :)

This was a wonderful tour. Even my daughter, who is not a fan of bus tours, felt it was one of the highlights of our visit to Scotland. It is not overly long (9:30 to 5:30), so you’re not exhausted when you return. Our tour guide, Mike, was great; he was cheerful, informative, and friendly. The stops were meaningful ones, not just bathroom & coffee stops. We enjoyed “the best fish & chips in Scotland” at a fishing village, had several hours on our own in St. Andrews, and spent time in Falkland. All together, a terrific day. We’d highly recommend this tour.

My guide was Brodie for the tour. He was our driver and guide, which looks challenging but he was good. He actually had a lot of stories and things to say along the way. He got fish and chips with us and hyped up Irn Bru. The bus for this tour was much better than others I had been on with different companies. There was a row of single seats, which was perfect for me as a solo traveller. Since this tour didn't go as far, we had more time at each stop. Falkland was great for fans of Outlander and there were cute shops. We spent maybe 45mins there. St Andrews was great and our longest stop at 2hrs. I visited the beach and the University as well as the University museum. The final stop was the fishing town of Anstruther, where they apparently had the best fish and chips. I was actually not a fan of the fish and chips as I found it much too oily but it was probably better than anything could get at home. I had just gotten the best fish in chips of my life in Mallaig the day before so I may be harsher because of that. We spent 1h in Anstruther. If you don't get in the queue fast enough, most of that time will be spent waiting for your fish and chips so get there first if you can. Otherwise, you can try one of the other fish and chip places. I'm sure they're also tasty. All 3 stops were very nice. As with most tours, I wish we could stop longer at each place but I understand that there's a schedule to keep. Note that this tour seemed to appeal to an older crowd. I was the youngest on the bus but I didn't notice. Everyone was having fun and asking interesting questions. We had nice music playing whenever Brodie was not speaking. I would recommend this tour if you want to see a more quaint side of Scotland. You get great views on the road as well. There are plenty of sheep to see and I think I spotted a few Highland Cows. There's also a quick photo stop where you can see teeny tiny Edinburgh from across the water. It was very cool.

Neil and Rose were amazing! They were extremely knowledgeable on Scottish history and whiskey! They gave an excellent tour with lots of stories and laughs 💕
