Now live for my second season, truly customisable unique guided tours of Orkney and its outer Islands by a native Orcadian with a lifetime of experience and stories which you will not find online! I look forward to getting to know all of my guests from around the world.

It was my goal, from my own experiences gained through international travel and valuable feedback gained from clients and expert guides locally during the 2024 season to provide a truly unique, stress free local experience with no set routes or rehearsed scripts and full flexibility to my clients. All of my tours are truly private tours and I do not sell spare seats in order to give you the best experience possible when visiting the Historic Orkney archipelago.

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.

My message response time is usually within 12 hours.

Duration: 7 hours.
