About this experience
On this tour, we’ll take you to St Andrews, famous the world over for being the home of golf. If you're golf mad, you'll get a chance to see the hallowed turf of the Old Course. If you don't like golf, don't worry - St Andrews is also home to some fabulous history and architecture. On our way north, we'll first of all stop in the village of Culross. In our opinion, this is the prettiest village in Scotland, and famous nowadays as being a filming location of the television series Outlander. We’ll take you on a brief walk around the village, pointing out filming locations and telling you about the real world history of the place too. When we get to St Andrews, you'll have at least 3 hours in the town to explore it however you want. We’re happy to take you on a walking tour of the town, and take you inside the ruins of St Andrews Castle (for an additional cost). Or, you can visit the golf course, golf museum, the famous university campus or an aquarium. It's your tour.

Barney was fantastic. Knowledgeable, and entertaining. Took pictures, made reservations, all we had to do was show up.

Whopper Good!
Do you want a fantastic tour of St Andrew’s? Do you want or learn about Scotland’s history? Do you want to laugh and have fun? Join Barney and experience all that and more. We’ve travelled the world and toured with many guides. Barney is one of the best!

Wonderful Scotland experience!
Absolutely incredible experience, Barney was very professional and personable. His knowledge and ability to teach about history is unparalleled (and extremely funny). It was a very upbeat and exciting experience with some of the best sights Scotland has to offer. We loved seeing Edinburgh as well as St. Andrew’s and the experience was comfortable, extremely informative and allowed us to experience much of Scotland that we never knew existed! Highly highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Hi Kyle, thanks so much for your review. I hope you have a safe journey home!

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Edinburgh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Edinburgh is not rushed.
Is St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Edinburgh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Edinburgh and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does St Andrews and Culross Luxury Day Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Edinburgh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Edinburgh?
+
On Outty we rank every Edinburgh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Edinburgh: Loch Ness, Glencoe and The Highlands, Edinburgh: Glenfinnan Viaduct, Glencoe & Fort William, Edinburgh Ghost Tour: Mysteries, Legends and Murders. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Edinburgh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Edinburgh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
