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 💕

I did a few tours on my Scotland trip but this was my favorite! It was easy to be picked up, we were a small group, and the guide Andy was incredible. He was very informative about Scotland and its history and present day. Also very funny. First we stopped to see the three bridges and then continued to Falkland. It was a beautiful village with really nice shops. There was a castle yoy could go into but it was around $20 and we didn't have alot of time. Our next stop was St. Andrew's! I had such a great time and would love to go back one day. Andy drove us around and point certain things out to us so we would know the lay of the land and then dropped us off to explore. I was able to walk to the castle and cathedral without any problem. There is a fee at the castle, but I thought it was worth it. The staff there were nice and friendly. I was able to walk right into the cathedral without issue. After I walked on the beach and met up with the group on the bus. After, we went to Anstruther. It is a really beautiful town with shops, restaurants, and views of the water. I really recommend this tour to everyone!

We did the trip on our second day in Scotland (first time visiting) and it was an excellent experience! We really enjoyed the combination of places but what made it complete I would say was our guide Brody! He was an entertaining storyteller, managing to combine history with interesting local facts and humour. We were a small, but diverse group of almost all ages and he also managed to engage everyone, as well as to answer our questions. Most importantly, we still had time to just take in the views and didn't experience any delays! All in all, wonderful trip and experience!

Great tour but we booked this specific tour because it included the kingsbarn distillery (from the listing tittle) which was not the case. The French listing needs to be updated.

This was such a fun trip. We liked that is was just a little way outside Edinburgh so we could get back to our hotel at a reasonable hour. The fishing village was so cute. I also loved just riding through the beautiful countryside (and was able to spot the tiny village where my 5-times great grandfather lived before coming to America.) St. Andrews was a highlight. We had plenty of time to see the course and explore the town and had a great fish and chips lunch. I enjoyed seeing the Falkland castle and town. It was especially fun to see where "Outlander" filmed some scenes. Joe, our guide, seemed to be having fun and he kept us all entertained while sharing his knowledge of the region. I would recommend this trip.

Enjoyed the Fife fishing village and St Andrews. Beautiful drive and glad someone else was behind the wheel. Our tour guide wasn’t really informative though.
