It ended up being just us two for the tour. We had an amazing time and learned so much about the history of St Andrew’s and it’s golf history. I would highly recommend this your. It was the highlight of our trip.

We booked the last tour of the day and were the only ones on the tour. Thanks to this, we were lucky enough to get a personalized tour with Richard, and couldn't have been happier with the experience. We learned so much about St. Andrews and the rich history associated with not just the golf course, but the town itself. It was a truly fascinating tour, and I will definitely be recommending this to anyone traveling to Scotland.
