Bucket list experience
Phenomenal day! We were lucky to have Mr Saf as our driver & tour guide. Prior to the trip we let the tour guide know our main priority was spending time at St Andrew's walking the old course, getting to eat on property, and having time to shop at the official St Andrews stores. Mr Saf made sure to arrange the tour to get everything on our "bucket list" done. Mr Saf was knowledgeable, flexible, punctual, and helpful. We would highly recommend booking your tour with him.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a phenomenal day and that Saf helped make your visit to St Andrews so memorable. We understand how important it is to make the most of a bucket-list trip, and we’re thrilled that Saf was able to tailor the day around your priorities—walking the Old Course, enjoying a meal at St Andrews, and finding time to visit the official stores. His knowledge, flexibility, punctuality, and dedication to providing a personalized experience are qualities we greatly value, and your kind words will mean a lot to him. Thank you for choosing us and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour in the future!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
St Andrews Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Edinburgh.
How much does St Andrews Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke cost?
+
Prices start at $725 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 Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke 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 Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Edinburgh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule St Andrews Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is St Andrews Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke 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 Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke?
+
Around 11 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 Private Black Cab Tour –Guided, Personalised & Bespoke 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.
