Awesome guide.. Included items we were interested in. 1.5 hours was perfect and the tour was a great value. It was worth more than what was paid!

Our guide, Richard, was enthusiastic about sharing his well-researched knowledge of St Andrews. We were shown hidden gems about the lovely town and were told histories of the cathedral and other buildings. Great tour!

It was an excellent, fantastic and most enjoyable tour. Richard Falconer was very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, helpful and always came up with suggestions/ideas to enable me to make the most of my tour as well as to plan my tours effectively. For example, Richard was with a tour group when he bumped into me in St Savlatore Hall and he suggested I join them there and then to go into the St Salvatore's chuch as it would be closed by the time I did my evening tour. Also when I was booking my tours, Richard pointed out that I was booking more tours than I needed and advised me which tours would already cover everything I needed. And during the tours, Richard was a superb tourguide, making my day so interesting, informative, fun and enjoyable too! I highly recommend Richard and his tours!

Richard was a superb guide. He truly brought the history alive and we enjoyed speaking with him and learned so much. The cathedral history was especially fascinating.

I received this tour as a gift and my husband and I were lucky with the weather as it turned out to be cold but sunny. It was February and we were fortunate enough to be the only ones on the tour! Our guide Richard was very welcoming and cheery and engaging and not above cracking the odd joke or too! Richard is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject matter and the tours themselves. We thought we knew St Andrews but Richard’s tour took us to places and views we had not seen before. Although ours was a historical tour Richard , when appropriate shared some of his broader knowledge about St Andrews, the golf and inevitably William and Catherine! This was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it. Thank you Richard!

A hugely informative and enjoyable tour of the highways and byways of St Andrews. Our guide, Richard, was engaging, with a wry sense of honour. His knowledge was comprehensive and, as a local, he gave us insights into St Andrews from ancient to modern day times. Thoroughly enjoyed the 90 minutes.
