Here’s an overview of your tour
Want to see the authentic side of Scotland and what it has to offer? On this private 1-day tour, you will have the chance to experience all that Scotland is famous for and more.
As your local host, I will bring you to the beautiful and ancient town of St Andrews. This town is the famous home of golf and is known for its royal romance. It was here where Prince William met Kate Middleton. Explore the ancient Cathedral dating back to 300 AD and take in the charm of this quaint seaside town.
From here we will go on a short trip along the beautiful Fife coast. And as part of a personalized offer, I can add a visit Kingsbarns whisky distillery, where you can take a tour and see how whisky and gin are produced. To make our truly Scottish experience complete, let's visit an old palace with a remarkable history. Set in the tranquil village of Falkland, this royal palace was home to generations of kings and was recently used as a filming location for the popular TV series, Outlander.
This tour can be 100% personalized to your wishes. If there is something you would like to see or do, please let me know, and I will include that in our private tour.
