Planning to tour Edinburg and St Andrews? You've come to the right place! Don't just depend on guide books, work with an Edinburg city expert, like me! What I love the most about this tour is that I will share the real legends and stories associated with the places we visit and all the Edinburgh's characters. This tour will include all of the most popular and main tourist attractions that Edinburgh and St Andrews has to offer! This tour will take you to the home of Golf. We will take in Leith Links, The Scottish Parliament, The Palace of Holyrood House, St Giles Cathedral, The Royal Mile and of course Edinburgh Castle! While in St Andrews we will visit the Ancient and Royal Golf Club, Swilken Bridge and Cathedral. We will also travel through the historic New and Old Towns while in Edinburgh and take in a couple of sites on the way. I will show you Edinburgh and St. Andrews like only a local can!
Our group of 4 spent an amazing day with Kevin M on July 21, 2019. Kevin was a perfect tour guide. He was personable, funny, had great stories & the history he shared was spot on. Our group made an unanticipated change in the schedule midday and Kevin made sure that our afternoon time was well spent and fulfilling. I believe the location that Kevin took us in the afternoon was more memorable than the original plan. Thank you Kevin for a wonderful day !!!!!
I had the best guide and the best driver in Edinburgh. Kevin is well-versed and gave me the best tour of the city particularly the Rosslyn Chapel. The views of the places before we got to the chapel were fantastic. Kevin knew a lot about history, too. His love for his country shows so much in the way he tells the stories of each place we went through. Sincere gratitude to Kevin. Especially, the photos.
Good tour. Enjoyed Kevin's commentary and knowledge fo the sites we visited..
Kevin was personable, interesting, informative and helped us arrange the Edinburgh and St. Andrews full-day tour of our dreams. He was accommodating to our whims when we wanted to stay a bit longer or leave early from a stop. He met all of our expectations and I would highly recommend him if you want to see as much as you can in a day in his fabulous 'silver cloud' London taxi!!!
Kevin was great! We loved riding in his "London" taxi! He is a wonderful tour guide, so informative and a lot of fun!!! Highly recommend Kevin!!
Kevin was excellent guide with great amount knowledge on history, movies, music, back roads, fishing, and golf. Kevin asked questions to make sure to meet our tour needs and make it a pleasurable and memorable tour/trip. We took two tours in two days with Kevin and both were great. Our stops along the way for lunch or snacks were great selections by Kevin that met our specific ideas to enjoy atmosphere and good food combined.
