Overview of your Edinburgh tour

I really enjoy this tour as it showcases the oldest University town in Scotland, St Andrews! Also because I will be able to show you Edinburgh and what this amazing city has to offer. This is a magic way to explore St Andrews and Edinburgh on this private tour by VIP Class 6 seat AMG Mercedes V Class. St Andrews is internationally renowned as the 'Home of Golf' and you will have plenty of time to see the famous Old Course -a place of pilgrimage for golfers of all abilities-. Out with the golfing side, St Andrews was one of the most important religious sites in medieval Europe. Once we depart from here, we will travel towards Edinburgh, with one of the most attacked castles in the World, home to several monarchs, a safe house for Mary Queen of Scots, and the Scottish crown jewels. From the parapets, you have gorgeous views to experience both the Old town and Royal Mile to the New Town, built between 1767 to around 1850 (New Town) of Edinburgh.
