Best season
May to September

Let’s talk about preparing for your Walking Tour in St Andrews with us! Given that these tours range from 65 to 480 minutes and are consistently highly rated (averaging 4.8/5), you'll want to be comfortable and prepared for a good portion of the day, depending on the length of your chosen experience.

Considering the nature of walking tours – exploring a historic town like St Andrews – comfort is key. We strongly recommend bringing sturdy, supportive footwear; trainers or walking boots are ideal. You’ll likely be covering some uneven surfaces and potentially longer distances, so prioritise comfort over style.

Because these tours can last anywhere from an hour to nearly five hours, layering your clothing is essential. The weather in St Andrews can change quickly, and a good range of temperatures are possible within a single day. Bring a light waterproof jacket or raincoat, even if the forecast looks clear – it’s always best to be prepared.

Finally, don't forget essentials like sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses, especially during the summer months. A small backpack is useful for carrying water, snacks, and any items you might need throughout your tour. With such varied duration options, from just an hour to nearly five hours, ensure you’re ready for anything!
