Great adventure on the east coast of Scotland
Dannis33611, Aug 2025
After changing my plans to go to Inverness I decided to complete my tour on the east coast of Scotland. The trip was great. The van was comfortable and our guide was very knowledgeable.both Dundee and Saint Andrews were fascinating places. The only thing that was a bit of a challenge was the seat belts. A little tight and the seats were a little small.
Transport to St. Andrews and Dundee
McKimi, Jul 2025
This tour package is basically very comfortable transport to St. Andrew’s and Dundee. The van is very comfortable. Alan’s narrative was interesting and he was very able to answer questions. But once reaching each of the two city locations, you will explore on your own. The trip allowed plenty of time in St. Andrew’s to view the Cathederal, walk the streets, have lunch, and walk the golf course and/or beach. In Dundee we were dropped off at the attractive riverfront near the V&A Museum. The schedule left plent of time to explore this facility and enjoy a bit of the river wall.
Very good tour leader
Claudia L, May 2025
We had a good trip with Alan. He was thoughtful, knowledgeable and responsive to the questions and vibe of the small group we had. He helped solve individual guest’s needs. He was ready with explanations and stories about the St Andrew’s and Dunnattor areas. We was an excellent group leader and I think everyone appreciated having him guide us.
Good overview of the areas
mdquilici, Apr 2025
This was a really nice, relaxing outing. Jim, the driver, was very personable and knowledgeable and really seemed to care about everyone's needs. Nice overview of the areas which was what we wanted, but if you are looking to do detailed exploring in the areas the stops are a bit short for that.
