    Sundays there is only one bus per hour, most sites are closed. the driver was kind enough to make a few unscheduled stops so we could take some pictures.

  • Island tour

    The 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

    Complete 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!

    Most beautiful scenery along the road and lots of information. George was a top driver with his humorous stories and facts 👍

    I was glad to see that priority was given to people like me who had booked, after reading previous reviews I was a little concerned we would not get on. Perhaps there should be a sign up to indicate this and/or separate queues? The tour was really good and took us around the whole island, our bus driver was very informative and extremely funny.
