My tours, including sites like the Skara Brae, Italian Chapel, Scapa Flow, Yesnaby Cliffs, Ring of Brodgar, Standing Stones of Stenness, and many more are unique for several reasons:
Skara Brae is Europe's best-preserved prehistoric village, dating back over 5,000 years.
Italian Chapel was built by Italian POWs during World War II, making it a symbol of hope and resilience.
Ring of Brodgar and Standing Stones of Stenness are both part of a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Heart of Neolithic Orkney.
Yesnaby Cliffs and Marwick Head are known for their dramatic sea cliffs, offering breath taking coastal views.
Overall, these tours are unique because they offer a fascinating blend of ancient history, dramatic natural beauty, and wartime significance, all while experiencing Orkney’s exceptional landscape and wildlife.

What To Expect
Skara Brae
Over 5000 years old Neolithic Village. It is one of the best-preserved Neolithic sites in Europe and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dating back to around 3100 BCE, Skara Brae provides a remarkable glimpse into the daily life of early humans during the Neolithic period, long before the construction of the Egyptian pyramids or Stonehenge. The site is often compared to a prehistoric version of a modern suburb, highlighting its significance in understanding human history and settlement patterns during the Stone Age.
Yesnaby Cliffs
Geology of Orkney Dated back to about 380-400 millions years old. These dramatic cliffs offer some of the most breath taking coastal views in the Orkney archipelago. The area is renowned for its geological features, including impressive rock formations and sea stacks that have been shaped by centuries of erosion. The cliffs are composed mainly of sandstone and are home to a variety of seabird species, making it a popular spot for birdwatching. Puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes are often seen nesting along the cliffs in the summer months. The site offers a sense of wilderness and isolation, making it a must-see for visitors to Orkney who appreciate natural beauty and dramatic landscapes.

5.00Through ViaTour, we had a wonderful full day tour with Ebenzer Quansah of Experience Orkney. There were 8 of us in our private tour. He went out of his way to explain in detail the history of the amazing sights he was showing us. To say they were impressive is an understatement. The Chapel, Skara Brae, Stones of Stenness, Ring of Brodgar & St Magnus Cathedral were all amazing to see. Although it was a windy and cold day, we had a great time. Even got to see puffins at the Yesnaby Cliffs! An out of the way stop to see some interesting looking pigs was fun as well. Lunch @ the Orkney Brewery was wonderful along with an impromptu stop at an ice cream stop! This tour did not disappoint and Ebenzer was very informative, his attention to detail was outstanding and he was enjoyable and entertaining to boot! We would highly recommend him. Thank you Ebenzer for a great day! I will happily take another tour with you! Dianne M

5.00Our tour with Ebenezer was at the top of our list of favorites during our vacation. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful and when the extra mile to take care of us. We didn't really know what we wanted, and he put together an excellent tour for the day that wrapped in ancient history, war history and amazing views. Thank you Ebenzer, from planning to touring. We left richer for it.
