We are a small business based in Orkney with over 100 years of Island life experience between us and only offer Fully private tours (Your group only) This is NOT a bus tour. Every booking with us is sole and exclusive for that day allowing full flexibility to deliver. As the route is fully customisable entry tickets to sites like Skara Brae are NOT included and can be purchased for you on the day at cost price. Alternatively You can book these in advance to avoid any potential capacity issues in peak season.
We will pick up up to 4 passengers from any location on the Orkney mainland, this includes The cruise ship pier (Northlink ferry terminal, Hatston, Kirkwall), Hotels, Rental houses, Kirkwall travel centre, The ferry ports of Stromness and St Margaret's hope and Kirkwall Airport or anywhere else!. This short tour is perfect for those visiting Orkney on a day trip via the link ferries from the Scottish mainland, arriving by cruise liner, or those spending a longer time on the island.
During the tour, you will visit various sights from modern day to the neolithic around Orkney as a private group with a guide and vehicle solely for you (Be careful of other suppliers wordings). The duration and number of sites are completely up to you! Our base tour is 5 hours long, but I’m happy to extend the tour on the day for an additional cost. The tour combines a guided experience with free time to explore each site at your own pace. Local insights and historical details from lifetimes of experience on Orkney.
We don’t enforce strict timings or set routes on my tours, giving you the freedom to explore at your own pace offering an experience of island life. Every tour is unique and tailored to your preferences.
We currently use a midsize SUV, as well as a 4x4 estate car, both of which comfortably accommodate 4 mid size adults or 3 with extra space. These vehicles offer more comfort and room than most minibus-style vehicles.
