⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Relaxing, informative and great opportunity to see St. Andrews
The local escort, David, was entirely learned about the territory. Decent visit in a fishing town. Satisfactory opportunity to visit St. Andrews. Not surged. A lot of time to see features and have comfortable lunch. Last stop at the mansion for 5 minutes was not beneficial. Would have loved 30 – 45 minutes there.
