5.00Our group of five friends had a wonderful, informative tour. We were met at the pier by our guide Jackie and driver Dave in a spotlessly clean van. Both Jackie and Dave were not only personable, but a lot of fun! Our group was blown away by how beautiful the Shetlands were. Jackie shared plenty of interesting information about the islands, as well as sharing her personal experiences from growing up here. We made a number of stops along the way, including a wonderful lunch at The St. Magnus Bay Hotel. We invited Jackie and Dave to join us for lunch and enjoyed talking to them about their homeland. All in all, our entire group agreed it was an extraordinary tour. Highly recommended!
Don’t miss tour!
