5.00The tour gives you a diverse view of what you need to see in Shetland. We would have preferred more narration and communication of the stops. Not your typical hop on hop off.
Disappointed

3.00Complete waste of money and time, we got on at pick up point and drove around, driver was mainly talking to three woman at front of bus, we hopped off at Scarroway only to find most of places closed so got next bus back where upon the driver drove back to lerwick so we missed a large part of tour, overall view would think twice before booking again.
Worth going!
