Now in my second season, I offer fully customizable guided tours of Orkney and its outer islands, led by a native Orcadian with a lifetime of local knowledge and stories you won’t find online! I’m excited to meet guests from all over the world.
Inspired by my own international travels and valuable feedback from clients and local expert guides during the 2024 season, my goal is to provide a truly unique, stress-free local experience. There are no set routes or rehearsed scripts, offering full flexibility to my clients. All tours are private, ensuring the best possible experience without selling spare seats, so you can fully enjoy the historic Orkney archipelago.
I currently use a midsize SUV for my tours but also have a 4x4 estate car, both accommodating 4 mid-sized adults or 3 with extra space. These vehicles offer more room than most minibus platforms.
I typically respond to messages within 12 hours.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
