St Andrews plus other stops - Eric the tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable of all the stops - and accommodating with the pick ups. The van was comfortable with an excellent driver. The recommendations of food and shopping were excellent and made for a pleasant day with enough time to enjoy the stops - and scenery. Eric seems to be a proud Scotsman and will answer any question you have which made the day a great time.

Loved the locations, but not the tour guide or transportation vehicle - We very much wanted to spend some time at St Andrews and the other stops on this tour. We enjoyed all the spots, but our tour guide wasn't very effective and the size of the vehicle for a party of four was not acceptable for the money. Our tour guide David, had very low personality and didn't have a lot of valuable historical information to share during the driving times. The care was a small sedan which was not appropriate for 4 adult visitors as three of us were crunched in the back seat, while my son had to sit in the front seat with the tour guide/driver.
