★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,071 reviews · 9 hours · from $71Our pick

Review of Timberbush’s St Andrews and Fife tour from Edinburgh, with fishing villages, coastal views, three hours in St Andrews, and practical tips.

“Thoroughly enjoyed our day trip to Lief - all of the stops were picturesque, welcoming and a beautiful way to explore the coastal region. We enjoyed our time in St Andrew's- ample time to walk the area, grab lunch and shop and explore. The golf course was a sight- watching players tee off was fascinating for us. Our guide Marty was witty, entertaining and kept us on our toes as to history, storytelling and his puns--my teens had a great time following his humorous lines.”

“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.”
