4.00Good guide - but we expected and booked this based on the photo of the vehicle that was shown on website - a van with 2 double seats facing each other - very disappointed that as a group of 4, one sat in front seat, 2 in back seat & 1 in rear . Truly the only reason that we booked was because of the website photo of van seat configuration so really bad.

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.
