5.00My husband and I booked a private tour and had the pleasure of having Amanda as our guide. She took us all over the island. She packed us a nice lunch and we enjoyed it looking over the water and beach. Her soup was top notch!!! We saw so much and couldn’t have had a better day. We saw ruins, churches, light houses, harbors, beaches, cliff side views, puffins, shetland ponies and shetland sheep. We even saw ostriches and a couple of wallaby in Scotland! It was an amazing day!!!! Would recommend this for anyone wanting a personal explanation of the history and thorough view of this beautiful island.

5.00Our guide had years of experience in knowing the best of Shetland, beyond any guide books. Having been there before, I was eager to revisit old haunts and discover new treasures, which was satisfied. From Jarlsford to the puffin cliff, to lunch at a quaint local restaurant, to just driving the roadways, all was delightful. Thank you!
Amanda in Lerwick, ROCKS!!!!!!!

5.00First of all, Amanda is probably one of the best tour guides we've ever had. It felt like visiting a best friend in another country. She's vivacious, extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful driver. I actually don't have enough words to describe how perfect our day was. Amanda made sure we saw as much as humanly possible in the time that we had together ❤️ We saw ruins,old buildings, animals, nature, everything and anything that she felt was important for us to experience. She explained everything we were looking at perfectly. Everywhere we went, everyone said hello to her. So many people knew her. I'm sure she's very loved and I can see why. We didn't want to leave her. We highly recommend her. Don't miss Amanda if you come to Lerwick. Also on a side note, the communication between Pilar (viator) and us was perfect. Pilar always answers and reassures us that the meeting up with the guide will go seamlessly, and it did.
Lerwick is a gem
