5.00Doogie was our amazing tour guide and was absolutely INCREDIBLE! He made sure we made the most of our time in town (limited as we were on a cruise). We did not miss anything during this tour.

5.00If you are stopping through Orkney with a cruise ship port, this is the tour to take! We were picked up at the port and arrived ahead of the crowds to explore the Standing Stones of Sternness. Our guide personally escorted us through Skara Brae as well as the Unstan Chambered Cairn. He was able to fit in as many highlight stops while accommodating a morning tasting/tour of Highland Park Distillery. He provided another personally guided stop at Orkney's Italian Chapel before dropping us back at the cruise port. Throughout the day he took pictures of the group and provided us with a history of the area.
