I have just had 3 great day tours with Explore Orkney Tours -- Great -- unbelievable sites -- Susan and Trevor are fantastic guides -- I would like to go and do it all again. People do not realise what there is to see on there door step.I stayed in the Ayre Hotel in Kirkwall. It is an ideal base.... More

We had a wonderful tour with our guide Kevin, we were the only participants which was perfect, we got to take as little or as long as we wanted at the sites. Kevin was extremely knowledgeable and did a great job answering my questions and bringing the sites to life. Pity the weather was a bit rubbish but this didn't... More

We have visited Orkney three times now, the reason for the return trips? Keith and Susan of Explore Orkney!!! First used their services in 2009, we had booked three day tours with them, absolutely brilliant. They know the history, take you to places off the beaten track, and have a relaxing attitude. One of the main reasons for coming back... More

We went on 2 one day tours with Kevin as our driver and guide. From the beginning to end it was comfortable, enjoyable and informative. Being in a small group it did not feel as through we were being rushed even though we were on the move seeing many places and sights. The Tours played out as advertised. The lunches... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Kevin seeing really interesting archealogical sites. It was great to be with just a small group of five as we could take our time and ask all the questions we wanted to without feeling rushed. Lunch was filling and tasty in a country house hotel. Would recommend this tour to anyone who doesn't want... More

Susan promised us her "best attention" and she delivered! We were four friends in Orkney for just the day, and we had booked the Megaliths and Mysteries tour. We found the trip to be just as advertised. We were picked up promptly at the stated time and were dropped off in town at St. Magnus Cathedral by request. Kevin, our... More

Explore Orkney not only took us on the tour, Megaliths & Mysteries, but, they explained so much more to us. There were 3 of us , one mother and 3 adult daughters from the United States. Our aim was to see my Grandfather's church. Explore Orkney went out of their way to find it, inquire about it, and took us... More

Explore Orkney is first and foremost a family business, and the Fletts certainly know what they are up to. Individually, they were each a delight to deal with, both online and on the phone, and collectively they seemed to genuinely enjoy the process of making my holiday plans spring to life. Once the details had all been sorted, their personalized... More

We were very disappointed by our Hoy Island Tour. The day was not what the website led us to believe. If we had realised what the tour was really going to be like, we would have bought a guide book, brought a picnic and driven ourselves in our own car. It was not the experience that was advertised on the... More
