St Andrews golf and history walking tour review, covering the cathedral, university, Old Course, golf legends, and Swilcan Bridge.

“Excellent. Guide was great, Richard but wish he would have stopped more as traffic was so loud it drowned out some of his fantastic knowledge and we wanted to catch every word. My partner was thrilled to get a picture on the bridge. We both enjoyed the city and especially the old college and chapel.”
