Highlights

Led by Bible believing Scottish Christians, we will drive you through beautiful rural Fife to St Andrews, stopping at places along the way relevant to the Reformation and Scottish Church history. We will then return to Edinburgh to visit sites of significance in the city.

We are a non-profit ministry of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of Scotland.

Any funds remaining after direct costs are paid, are used to facilitate church planting in Scotland.

Our tours are not merely sight-seeing arrangements. Our goal is to encourage you in your Christian faith, and to point out how and where the people and places you learn about honoured Jesus Christ in everything they did and how you can do the same today.

Our tour guides are Bible-believing Christians who care deeply about helping to build up your faith.

We are also happy to add in any other location you would like to visit within a reasonable distance.

We are 5 star rated on Tripadvisor.
