We highly recommend this trip. As many of the other reviews state, it's a long day but well worth it. The tour guide was excellent and Orkney was even more delightful than we imagined.
wonderful trip.. such nice staff. Beautiful scenery.. Long day but well worth it. you will never see all of this unless you take a trip like this. I wish I had known that there was a longer trip on the island.
The tour was excellent. It was all timed perfectly and we were able to see everything we wanted to see. Thanks very much for an enjoyable day out.
Excellent trip, the best coach tour guide I had ever encountered. He was very informative and interesting to listen to also. Very well organised and lots of photo opportunity. You cover a lot of the Orkney islands in a day. Just one negative note. Its quite a long road journey "non stop", to and from John O'Groats from Inverness so keep this in mind. Coach returns to Inverness in time for a late evening dinner which is good going, all considered !
This was a great trip to see the Oarkney's in a day. The driver was very informative on the history of the Oarkney's. This is a beautiful place and the history of Skarabrae 3100BC is amazing. Well worth the time.
its worth visiting orkney mainly ferry between berwick and john'o groats 45 mins is extraordinary trip. Islands are beautiful and scarabrae is a must watch. We had nice lunch at kirkwall. Whole journey in island is quite scenic and beautiful.Well organised trip.Suits a perfect day out.
I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who enjoys both history and nature. The guide 'Glen' was fantastic once we arrived. He was able to keep us entertained through the entire tour of mainland Orkney, whilst also being very informative and engaging. Before this trip I never realised how much of our history has occurred in the Orkney Isles, and I am very glad for the experience.
excellent commentator Alan on the Orkneys...good mix of things to see
One of the most interesting and enjoyable trips I've taken - one of a kind!
This is a super way of getting a taste of Orkney. All the elements of the day were well organised and we were fortunate to have a sunny, calm day for the ferry trip. Scara Brae is a must to see!
Well organised. You get a little taste of the Orkneys. I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable the day was.
Trip was superb. The main points of the mainland and South Ronaldsay in a day. Could not have hoped for better! Crossing was somewhat choppy, but that added to the excitement! Do Orkney if you like idyllic places away from the crowds!
Amazing! Give it a go - beautiful views, great guides and a day that feels like a holiday!
The day trip to the Orkney Islands was excellent, good value for money and the guides for both the coach trip to the islands and travelling on the islands were very well informed and made good listening. I would recommend this trip to everyone
Brilliant tour guide - he was funny and informative, and nice to have a local who knew what he was talking about. Lots of funny and interseting anecdotes about island life. I would have preffered less driving and more time at the locations - I didn't think it was necessary to go to the town, and spend a whole hour there - I would rather have spent more time at Skara Brae or just at a local beach.
