Anstruther - Be charmed by the cobbled lanes and quaint buildings of this traditional fishing village. St. Andrews Cathedral - This ruined cathedral was once one of Scotland’s most magnificent buildings. St Andrews Old Town - Immerse yourself in 1,000 years of history as you explore the winding streets and ancient castle.

We really enjoyed this day trip out of Edinburgh! The time spent in St. Andrews was perfect, we had plenty of time to see and do all we wanted there. The stop at the fishing village was short and in my opinion could be skipped in favor of more time at Falkland Palace and the town of Falkland. Our guide was great, all in all a wonderful day!

The tour guide made it. Al was informative and engaging. He gave us plenty of time for breaks, but kept us on schedule. We found ourselves laughing a good bit of the time. Would definitely do Rabbies again

The tour was fantastic! The entirety of the journey from beginning to end was simply stunning. Our guide, Keith, was knowledgeable and humorous throughout, rattling off a wealth of facts and anecdotes, keeping everyone amused and engaged for the duration of the tour. (And top notch driving by Mia!)

Overall, the tour was very good. Our guide was excellent, and we visited some very interesting places. I went four stars instead of five, because I would have left out the visit to Falkland. It wasn't all that interesting. Everything else, however, was great. Maybe it was because we were all tired by that point...
