Operated by Historic Orkney
Overview
The ideal half-day introduction to Orkney, paced properly and completely crowd-free. Led by a born-and-bred local guide, this private tour covers Orkney’s Neolithic sites, Viking heritage, and wartime history without the rush of a group bus. Enjoy dedicated on-site guiding, plenty of rest time, and travel in an immaculate vehicle with no strangers sharing your space. Because this is entirely private, your itinerary is never fixed. If you want to linger longer or change direction, your guide can adapt the route around your preferences. Originally built as a reliable shore excursion for cruise guests, it works just as well for first-time visitors staying on the islands seeking an introduction. Standard booking is set to 3 guests, but I can accommodate families of 4 or larger groups by arrangement. Listing space is limited, so for custom routes or specific historical focuses, reach out for my full service portfolio. As a top-rated local operator for years, I enjoy a challenge.
