Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We took two private tours (just the bride and me) and we could not have been more pleased. The first tour was to Balmoral Castle. Grant picked us up from our B&B in St. Andrews promptly at 8 am in a brand new Mercedes, and we were on our way. The scenery on the way was like a postcard, as we wound our way through Blairgowrie, Spittal of Glennshee and Braemar. After the castle tour we had lunch at The Boat Inn, and that, in itself, was a highlight. We then made our way to Glamis Castle, which was my favorite stop on this tour. There is more to it, but we absolutely loved the tour.
Our second tour took us to Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument, Doune Castle and Trossachs National Park. This tour had spots familiar to Braveheart fans, but I loved the listening tour of Doune Castle. At each station, you can choose to listen to stories about how it related to the Outlander series, or in a lot of cases, stories about Monty Python filming at the castle. Again, the drive was scenic as could be and Grant answered all of our many questions. Oh, I almost forgot. Grant also stopped and gave us an opportunity to feed a Hairy Coo. Now, that was cool. As was Grant, resplendent in his kilt. The whole day was magical and it was because of G&A Taxis.
One more thing...Grant also drove us from St Andrews to Troon on Saturday for The Open. It was that rainy, rainy day and there was no way we Americans could have driven that day (or any other; hence, the tours). Grant was nearby when we were ready to leave. G&A made the whole day worry free.
So, if you are in need of a ride from an airport, or wish to take a tour, I would highly recommend G&A Taxis of St Andrews.

Grant was a spectacular tour guide. His knowledge of the area and good humor gave us the time of our lives. He gave excellent advice, that never disappointed. For the nervous bookers, he is a very good communicator and will help you feel at ease.
I would seriously consider booking him for multiple days. Trust me, he knows what he is doing and will not let you down. Thank you Grant for one amazing and very memorable experience.

I wish I could name only one favorite thing about this tour… but the truth is it was ALL my favorite. This whole day was the best of my time in Scotland. I have done tours before but this was above and beyond. Grant was very knowledgeable about the area and if time allows will make little stops to show you hidden treasures. I had such a wonderful time soaking up the beautiful views of Scotland. The landscapes. The castles. The hidden gems. And my expert guide Grant was amazing. You’ll never regret booking any tours with them. I will come next year with family/friends and DEFINITELY book again. Cheers!

Grant is simply amazing! We really enjoyed the two days we spent with him in the Highlands and Isle of Skye. We have had many tour guides in our travels, and what sets Grant apart is his kind consideration for the travelers, thoughtfulness, wonderful stories and love for his beautiful country. Grant really made our time in Scotland a special and memorable trip. Thank you! Looking forward to booking you again.

Responsive to get booked and showed up ahead of time! Very comfortable Mercedes and Grant the owner of 26 years is really personable and makes it a great day! He was super flexible with us in driving us for 9 hours down to London during the rail strikes. We so very much appreciated him helping us out! I totally wholeheartedly recommend him whether for a tour or transport. He sure helped save our vacation and is totally trustworthy and honest and dependable!

I was a bit nervous booking just from reading reviews and Facebook post, but I’m so glad I did.
My only regret was not booking Grant for 2-3 days instead of 6.5 hours.
He is amazing!! We were scheduled to be picked up at 12:30 and he was at the hotel by 12:15.
Drove us from Edinburgh to St. Andrews and there was never a quiet moment.
He planned out our afternoon perfectly so we were sure to get the most in!
Even played the Himalayas with us!
We loved every minute and would highly recommend booking with him.
We can’t wait to return one day and book again!
Grant, thank you!!!
Our time with you was the highlight of ur week!!!

Fantastic service all around; can't recommend Grant and his drivers enough. Grant was very knowledgeable and personable. Great price for a private tour and he gave us a great impression of Scotland and its people. Will definitely try to book with him again when we return to Scotland!

There service to the Open was impeccable. Jim Lindsey our driver was courteous and timely on our roundtrip excursion to and from St. Andrews from Edinburgh. The Mercedes van was clean and very comfortable.
Thanks to G&A Taxis !

I have used their services often and they are very reliable. Twice my flights were delayed and after communicating with them, they waited for me. I would highly recommend them.
