    Driving along the island...

    Driving along the island and seeing beautiful sites. It was a great experience. So much to see. Great landscape.

    Orkneys taxi tour

    Stuart picked up as planned and brought us to the main attractions as expected but he brought us to some we hadn’t including cliff views, causeways and some highland cows. We saw way more than we thought and he was a knowledgeable and friendly guide throughout. He packed lots into the 5.5 hours we had on the Orkneys.

    One of my favorite tours!

    LOVED IT! Donna was an amazing guide! She took us places that you could not get to with a tour bus. We hiked a ways up Yasnaby Cliffs for beautiful views. Thank you so much!

    Amazing history and...

    Amazing history and sights. The tour guide was great and had excellent knowledge of the island. The car was comfortable and waters were complimentary.

    Ask for Anna!

    Martha_G, Aug 2025
    Anna was awesome! She picked us up right at our ship and off we went on a wonderful adventure! Anna shared her home with us in an engaging and informative manner. Learning from her was like touring with a friend. She even had some local snacks to share since we were so busy sightseeing, we didn’t have time for lunch. The amount we accomplished in just a few hours was phenomenal. I really feel like we got a great insight into what it is like to live in the Orkney islands. Thank you for a wonderful day!!!

    Great tour! Definitely a must book

    Donna was a great Guide! She had great information about the sights. We had as much time at each stop as we wanted and didn’t have to deal with others on a bus ! Worth booking for sure!!

    Orkney at its best!

    Peter_M, Jun 2025
    A wonderful tour (not only) to prehistoric times. Our driver Kenny was a real connoisseur of history and the country with its sights and traditions. The 4 hours passed far too fast!
