Chris personalized our tour, pointing out things we told him interested us. He managed our time well and really added to our experience on Orkney. The 7 hour tour was totally worth the price we paid. I was a little concerned when we booked that it was too costly, however my son, wife and I had saved this for last and it was the BEST.
Best tour ever!!!

What an absolutely wonderful experience!!! Gary took us to amazing neolithic sites. He knew we were particularly interested in them and he geared our tour accordingly. Gary is very knowledgeable about Orkney history and these archeological sites. The tour was well worth the money we spent!!! It is one of the best tours I've ever been on!!
