Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

James was the best guide for our very informative and fun tour of St Andrews! We so enjoyed his knowledge of golf history as he showed us the Old Course, and then James explored Scottish religious history as he explained the Castle and Cathedral. We ended up with more modern discussions of Kate meeting Will at a cafe and finished with the wonderful cat statue. While initially snowing a bit, James made the day grand fun with his wit and wisdom! A great tour with a great guide! Highly recommend!

The walking tour of St. Andrews covered several of the most important points of interest in a short amount of time. It fit my schedule perfectly and our guide, Katie, was very good. I really enjoyed the tour and recommend it.

Excellent tour, led by a knowledgeable and personable guide. His deep local connections enhanced our enjoyment and the subsequent use of our limited time (3 nights) in this fascinating place. Highly recommended.

Dougal was very knowledgeable and friendly. We detoured to St Andrews for this tour on a travel day and it was really worth it. Nice leisure paced walk from the golf course to the cathedral ruins to the central part of town.

Who knew that the reason there are 18 holes on a standard golf course is because there are 18 shots of whiskey in a bottle? True story! We learned so much about the religious, university and golf history of this beautiful town on walking tour. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable, and we were so happy that we booked this. Highly recommend!

Carol was a wonderful guide who obviously knows and loves St Andrews. She was enthusiastic and very informative, and even found us places to stay dry and out of the rain. Take this tour! Hopefully you’ll have better weather, but you won’t get a better guide than Carol!

My husband and I went on the walking tour and Anna was our guide. The tour itself was excellent and all of the stops were postcard picture perfect. Anna was so knowledgeable and friendly and of course we loved her accent. She knew all the history of Saint Andrews, and we enjoyed every moment of the tour. Two thumbs up for sure.

This tour is an absolute must when in St. Andrews. Sophie, a history master student, knew a lot about the history of St. Andrews and its buildings. She told lots of anecdotes about the students' life in St. Andrews. We were her first group after the lock down.
