Tours from Edinburgh · Run by Timberbush Tours
Anstruther · St Andrews · Falkland · South Queensferry
St Andrews and the East Neuk villages, just your group, with your own guide.
A private day in Fife, for a family or group who would like to wander the harbours at their own speed. You cross the Forth Bridge, follow the coast past Aberdour to Anstruther and the fishing villages of the East Neuk, and spend the middle of the day in St Andrews, with its cathedral, castle and the Old Course. Falkland and Loch Leven are on the way home, and the last stop is South Queensferry under the bridges. There's little time on the road, and you're back in Edinburgh by 5.45pm. The price is for the whole vehicle.
The places it stops at, in order. Routes can change with the weather and the traffic.
