Experience Orkney tour disappointing and over priced.

Michelle_G, Jun 2025

We booked the Orkney Island tour with Experience Orkney and had a disappointing experience. The booking stated the tour started at 8 AM but our driver Ebonezer texted that pick up was between 9 and 10. Very challenging since we did not have a pick-up time and it was windy and cold waiting on the pier. Also, the booking stated we had private tour which was reflected in the price. Once our driver arrived for pick-up 75 minutes late, he informed us that he was picking up a second group of 4 at second location. The second group was also under the impression they had booked a private tour. At the end of the tour the driver said he would look into a discount since we paid for a private tour. After speaking with him he made a lot of excuses and only offered a slight discount which he has not honored to date. I am certain there are a lot of reputable tour guides on Orkney islands that offer fantastic tours.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for your review, the rest of the group had a fantastic time, apart from you Michelle, the boat was late, and passengers didn't get off early, and because of that, I made it clear that will pick you up between 09:00-10:00, as many of the places don't open till 09:00, and that will give you time to have your breakfast before the tour. Your booking was cancelled and rebooked a night before the tour, so you just lucky you had a tour with us, thanks for review

Very good tour… covered a lot of ground, very personable guide, and we were incredibly lucky to have perfect weather! Pace was perfect for us. Only complaint is that we were not provided with water as promised in the trip information (we probably should have asked). Also, probably because we started later in the morning (9:30 instead of 7:30, which was fine with us), we did not go to Broch of Gurness. It would have been nice to visit Maeshowe .

Go Orkney, loved it!

Such a phenomenal tour of Orkney. Ebenezer is a fantastic tour guide- knowledgable, friendly and a great sense of humor. He was waiting for us when we disembarked- all the tour operators know each other at the port so it was easy to find him. He made sure we were able to see everything on the tour list, made lunch reservations for us in advance to ensure wed have time for dining and be seated, and made sure we were back to the boat on time. I’d definitely recommend this tour and Ebenezer as a guide. A fabulous day and Orkney is so beautiful.

Great All Day Tour!

We enjoyed our tour with Ebenezer, he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He drove us all around Orkney to the many sights the island has to offer and provided in depth details. Would highly recommend this tour. Thanks Ebenezer for an amazing time!
