Do I need to book tours in advance for this itinerary?

For the busiest sights, yes — a skip-the-line or timed-entry booking saves real time on a tight schedule. Check the real tour listings linked below for each stop.

What's the best way to get between these stops?

That depends on how spread out St. Andrews's sights are — walking works for compact city centres, otherwise a hop-on hop-off bus or public transit day pass usually covers this itinerary's ground.
