Overview of your Kirkwall tour:

I will pick up up to 4 passengers from any location on the Orkney mainland, this includes the ferry ports of Stromness and St Margaret's hope and Kirkwall Airport. 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 even those spending a longer time on the island. During the tour, you will visit various sights around Orkney as a private group with a guide and vehicle solely for you. The duration and number of sites are completely up to you! My 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. I’ll share local insights and historical details from my lifetime of experience on Orkney. On this particular tour, we'll enjoy breath-taking views, see ancient monuments and see as much of the island as possible in the time frame.

Transportation Details
Type: Private Transportation / Category: Suv

I currently use a midsize SUV for my tours but also drive a 4x4 estate car, both have a capacity of 4 mid sized adults or 3 with extra space. These offer more room than most minibus platform vehicles.

What's included
  • Other: I will have light waterproof jackets available to all visitors, free of charge.
  • Private Guide
  • Private Transportation
What's extra
  • Other: Personal expenses. Tickets to private sites are not included but are easily booked online, alternatively these can be bought on the day in cash and I would suggest GBP£100 would be more than enough to cover entries and lunch.
  • Food Drinks Snacks
  • Tickets: Please message me to liaise on times
