5.00Chris 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!!!

5.00We had a great time with Leslie Tait from Top Private Tours in Orkney. We enjoyed seeing the Skara Brae, the Yesnaby coastline and the Stones of Stenness. Orkney was a beautiful place and we ended our day with a visit to a local pub. Mr. Tait was pleasant, informative and made seeing the islands very easy and enjoyable for us. Highly recommend.
