Overview of your Edinburgh tour

This is a great tour to give you show many different things that scotland has to offer, from golf to whisky and castles. Once we pick you up we will head to St Andrews and visit the famous old course, When we leave St Andrews we will travel over the Tay Bridge and and head to Bonnie Dundee and Glamis Castle. Glamis Castle dates back to the 16th century and was the childhood home of The Queen Mother, her second daughter the late Princess Margaret was born here.  Glamis Castle is my personal favourite of the Scottish castles and is also the most furnished and one of the most haunted castles in Scotland. We may or may not see a ghost I can't promise! For whisky fans we can visit the nearby Lindores Abbey Distillery that some say is the home of whisky, for a tour or tasting

We had a great time with Kevin touring St. Andrews, visiting the Kingsbarn distillery and Glamis Castle. Kevin was friendly, knowledgeable and had good recommendations for things to see in St. Andrews (not just the lovely golf course!). He was an excellent driver and also gave us additional information about what to see in Edinburgh during the rest of our trip to Scotland.

We love love love Kevin! He was professional, punctual, knowledgeable, and a delight to be with all day. His command of the history of Scotland is wonderful. Best private tour we have had in Europe over the years. He took us to places we didn't even have on our itinerary that worked out beautifully and that we never would have enjoyed without his recommendation. He also has great restaurant recommendations! He is a very kind and delightful person.

Kevin was an awesome and most personable guide. We were impressed by his local knowledge and the tour far exceeded our expectations. We would have no hesitation in doing another tour with Kevin. What a great day - it will long live in our memories. He even accommodated a bizarre request from us and took us to the Bon Scott memorial in Kirriemuir. This is what made our tour so unique.
