Kevin was a fantastic guide! He understood how important St Andrews Old Course was to us and allowed us ample time to explore and walk the course. He also was extra helpful with getting us to the bridge quickly for pictures. Great fish n chips restaurant and whiskey tasting. We would definitely recommend Kevin! Thanks again for a great, memorable day!!
