Overview

Fife features a mix of historic towns, fishing villages, and coastal views. This small-group day tour from Edinburgh lasts about eight and a half hours and travels by Mercedes mini-coach with a professional driver-guide. The tour begins by leaving Edinburgh and stopping briefly at the Forth Bridges Viewpoint to see the three famous bridges opened in 1890, 1964, and 2017. Next, the tour visits Anstruther Harbour, a fishing village with cobbled streets and a harbour promenade, allowing a short walk along the seafront. Then the tour continues to St Andrews, where participants have three hours of free time to explore independently. Options include visiting the ruins of St Andrews Cathedral, wandering the Old Town’s medieval streets and castle remains, or seeing the Old Course golf links, known as the Home of Golf. After St Andrews, the tour drives through central Fife to Falkland Palace and Garden. Falkland is a village known for its old cottages and winding streets, and the palace was a main residence of the Scottish Stewart royal family. Guests have about an hour here to explore the village or visit the palace, which is closed between November and February. The group then returns to Edinburgh. The tour includes transport and guide service but excludes admission fees, meals, gratuities, and hotel transfers.
