5.00Gail is a long time Orkney local who with deep knowledge of the island and a desire to show off its many qualities. She knows all of the back roads and showed us much more of the island than we had expected. And she gave us many ideas for the rest of our stay. We’re so glad she was our guide on our first day on Orkney.
Wonderful Experience!

5.00Communication with Gail prior to our trip was very helphul. She met us at the time agreed and made clear that we could craft the tour as we liked. She was knowledgeable and friendly and very attuned to our interests. Those included added stops in Kirkwall at the magnificent medieval St Magnus Cathedral (and a great local lunch pick), the Italian Chapel and a special textile artist's studio. We enjoyed our day together and really feel like we got a good sense of Orkney. Gail knows her way around the island and smoothed a lot of corners off a special day, .Would definitely reccomend
Great experience

5.00We were booked with Gail at Scenic Orkney. She wasn't well so she lined up another driver, Karen at Davidson's cab. Karen gave us an excellent tour to Skara Brae, the cliffs, and ring of brodgar. She shared her knowledge and history of the islands. After our tour, Gail checked back in with me to ensure we had a good tour. That is great customer service. I would book with them again anytime.
10/10 experience!

5.00What a fabulous day we had! We managed to fit so much into the day, but didn’t feel rushed at all- We were able to explore multiple sites at our own pace. Gail was so friendly, responsive and knowledgeable and was an absolute delight. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Orkney. Thanks Gail!
A personalised tour that is highly recommended!

5.00We had a great day with Gail, she gave us a great tour and took us to all the places we wanted to see. She’s lived in the Orkney Islands for many years so we really got to learn about the people and get a feel for Shetland life.
All the fun without the crowds!

5.00Just had the most amazing day with Gail from Scenic Orkney. This was something I had been looking forward to for a very long time. Gail did not disappoint! She managed to fit in everything we wanted to see and more, allowing us to explore at our own pace and enjoy the beautiful island. I have an interest in wildflowers and Gail went to the trouble of helping locate and name flowers for me. We loved our tour of Mainland and would definitely recommend Scenic Orkney for a personalized tour.
Wonderful tour of Orkney

5.00Wonderful experience. Gail was friendly and knowledgeable. She explained history and details of our stops. Her love of her island shone through which was a pleasure to hear. She totally understood our needs and interests and discussed the tour stops with us. Extra anecdotal information made this an unforgettable experience. Thank you Gail x
