OUR GUIDES

WALKING TOURS IN ST ANDREWS

ABOUT US

LOCAL GUIDES | LOCAL EXPERIENCES

Hi we’re Liv and Jenny, we founded this company in 2017, because we understand how important it is to meet and spend time with a local when you visit a new place. We initially took the tours ourself, before expanding into a group of guides, each who bring their own spin to the tours.

In each place, all of our guides are guides because they are passionate about the city and they want to share its beauty with you! Our guides come from all walks of life, and all have their own unique experiences of their hometown, which is what makes every tour unique. We hope to see you on one of our tours soon.

We don’t just offer your standard history tours, we have unique experiences too! You can book any day from now until the end of 2024.

JAMES

Hi, I am James. What I love about St Andrews, is that I believe the town is akin to a unique whisky or swatch of Harris Tweed. It has within it innumerable strands, patterns, characters and evocative images. I look forward to sharing them with you, in order that St Andrews becomes much more than an Auld Grey Toun on one of our town tours.

VERITY

Hi, my name is Verity, and I graduated from the University of St Andrews in June 2022 with a degree in History. I love to share my experiences as a student in St Andrews – or as we call it, ‘the bubble’ – as well as the town’s long and tumultuous history. The cobbled streets can be deceiving, and I can’t wait to show you the quirks, secrets, and stories that St Andrews hides under its surface!

CATE

Hello! I’m Cate. St Andrews is a beautiful, ancient town which has a special place in my heart. It’s where I went to school and spent many wonderful days of my childhood. As a painter and writer there’s much to inspire! Today I live close by and often visit the stunning West Sands beach with my dog Basil. There’s a lot to discover: the Castle, Cathedral, Old Course, the town’s fascinating history, walks and great views. I hope you’ll come and experience this lovely town!

JOHN

Hi there my name is John and after having a holiday home here for some 15 years on my retirement in 2016 I moved permanently, and it’s without doubt one of the best things I have ever done. The town is simply exceptional for its coastal beauty, being the home of golf, its University life and the intriguing part it played in Scottish history , and I now get to walk and talk about it to the towns many interested visitors.

RICHARD

Hi, I’m Richard. My connection with St Andrews goes back to my 4 years here at University in the late 80’s. After University I worked around the UK and in Arizona for 17 years. However, over those 30 years I returned to St Andrews at least once a year to spend time in this special place. My retirement has brought me back to St Andrews and I look forward to sharing some of the magical history of The Old Course and my own deep connection with this town and the golf that is at its heart.
