Destinations

We have Seven destinations for you to choose from, the “Drop and Go” is not a destination as such, but an informative page for those who wish to drop off their golfing partners and go touring.

Each Destination or Tour has a helpful overview, furthermore each of the stops has its own separate summary to enlighten you, the summaries are accompanied by an individual link to their respective websites, should you require more information. All the stops are displayed on the map either individually or with similar stops, giving you an idea of their proximity to other locations.

For simplicity you can choose a recommended tour and confirm, alternatively mix things up by selecting or deselecting stops, finding the ones that appeal most, after all it’s your day.

It’s choice, not chance, that determines your destiny Jean Nidetch

How does it work, what does it cost and how do we book ??

Firstly - Feel free to browse through all of our tours and the available options that are on this website, there are many pages of information, every tour and each stop has its own brief summary to assist and help you decide.

We do advise that you check the availability for your preferred dates, before planning a tour.

Tours - We have several tour destinations all of which have a primary stop, recommended stops and optional stops. Both tours and stops are accompanied by brief summaries that we hope might tickle your fancy.

Primary stop - Is the focal point that a tour revolves around, however this may not necessarily be the first place to stop.

Recommended tour - The recommended tours are pre-chosen from the drop down list of stops. They offer a balanced tour with an estimated tour time, if you’re happy with any of the recommended tours, you need only to confirm that booking.

Recommended stop - These are carefully chosen pre-selected and accompany the Primary stop to form a recommended tour, they can be deselected if you wish and replaced by one or more of the optional stops.

Optional Stops - Offer you a level of flexibility, that allows you to deselect any of the recommended tour stops that have been pre-selected, and then if you choose, add any of the optional stops from the checklist that may be of interest you, thus creating your very own itinerary that reflects your group’s interests.

Confirming your Tour - Once you are happy with your choice, a recommended tour, or one you have customised to suit your needs and interests, the approximate time of the tour will be shown at checkout, and you might be asked if you want to amend your itinerary if it goes beyond 8 + hours.

Please don’t worry - Pick up times, tours, and stops can be altered beforehand, even on the day if it is practical to do so. If we feel any of your choices are difficult to manage or hard to execute, we will endeavour to find a solution that suits your needs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolutely Outstanding Day with David!

We had an absolutely fantastic day with David and Beyond St Andrews. From beginning to end, he was far more than simply our driver — he genuinely became part of what made the day so memorable.

David was personable, knowledgeable, funny and incredibly easy to spend the day with. His knowledge of the area was outstanding, and as an avid golfer, he seemed to know virtually every golf course we passed — along with some wonderful stories and local insight that you simply wouldn’t get touring on your own.

The black Mercedes V-Class was beautiful and extremely comfortable, but the real highlight was David himself. Nothing felt rushed or scripted. The entire day was relaxed, interesting and fun, and his personality turned what could have simply been transportation and sightseeing into one of the highlights of our time in Scotland.

We’ve traveled extensively and have used many private drivers and guides over the years, and David is exactly what you hope for when booking this type of experience.

If you’re considering Beyond St Andrews, ask for David. We would book with him again without hesitation. Five stars aren’t enough!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wanted to step outside of St Andrews and opted for the City of Discovery tour to include all 'Recommended Stops', it did not disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised by the history and museums of Dundee, and were pleased with the advice and knowledge that Laurie offered, and of course, the luxury mode of travel!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We chose the “Heart of Scotland” tour and enjoyed an exceptional day exploring its many memorable sights.
Our first stop was the Wallace Monument, where a shuttle bus took us from the car park to the base. We then climbed the 246 steps—phew—up the narrow spiral staircase, with three welcome levels along the way to catch our breath and learn more about William Wallace. From the summit, the countryside views were spectacular; on a clear day like ours, you could see for miles.
Just three miles further on, we reached Stirling Castle and the Church of the Holy Rude. The castle’s rich history was captivating, and the excellent free local guide was both knowledgeable and friendly, as were all the staff.
On our way back to St Andrews, we ended the tour at dusk beneath the Forth Road Bridge, which was stunning. Scotland is a truly beautiful and striking country.
Our host Laurie answered all our questions thoughtfully and gave us time to chat among ourselves, without the constant commentary often found on guided tours.
We highly recommend this excursion and will definitely book another tour with the Company the next time we return to St. Andrews.
Many thanks to the Beyond St Andrews team for making both the booking and the tour such a pleasure.
Bobby and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We arranged a trip with Beyond St Andrews to Glamis Castle in Sept, 2025 and had a truly wonderful experience. The Mercedes van used by Beyond St Andrews provided a very pleasant travel experience on some narrow and windy roads.  Our driver Laurie provided excellent coverage of local places and events on the journey. On arrival we were dropped off at the entrance to Glamis Castle with detailed advice provided by Laurie on how to make the best of the visit. We spent a very nice afternoon on the guided tour of the castle, visiting the various sites around the grounds. The Castle Kitchen Restaurant was highly recommended by Laurie and the food there was excellent, we had the Glamis Bridie a tasty pastry parcel of venison.  The reference to the “Thanes of Glamis” in Shakespeare's play MacBeth was highlighted by some amazing wood sculptures, in the MacBeth Loop, depicting scenes from the play. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and the journey back to St Andrews was very pleasant with Laurie providing an entertaining guide to points of interest in the area. Dundee was navigated with ease, and we were very pleased with our outing to Glamis Castle and would highly recommend Beyond St Andrews.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Five stars all the way. Our trip from St Andrews to The Macallan Distillery was fantastic, and Beyond St Andrews made the whole experience feel special. The vehicle was incredibly comfortable, clean, and relaxing, which made the drive just as enjoyable as the destination itself.

The service was amazing from beginning to end. Everything was handled so professionally, and we felt completely taken care of throughout the trip. It was smooth, stress-free, and felt like a truly premium experience.

Visiting Macallan was already a highlight of our time in Scotland, and Beyond St Andrews made getting there and back a real pleasure. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a comfortable, first-class experience.
