We highly recommend this trip. As many of the other reviews state, it's a long day but well worth it. The tour guide was excellent and Orkney was even more delightful than we imagined.

wonderful trip.. such nice staff. Beautiful scenery.. Long day but well worth it. you will never see all of this unless you take a trip like this. I wish I had known that there was a longer trip on the island.

The day trip to the Orkney Islands was excellent, good value for money and the guides for both the coach trip to the islands and travelling on the islands were very well informed and made good listening. I would recommend this trip to everyone

Brilliant tour guide - he was funny and informative, and nice to have a local who knew what he was talking about. Lots of funny and interseting anecdotes about island life. I would have preffered less driving and more time at the locations - I didn't think it was necessary to go to the town, and spend a whole hour there - I would rather have spent more time at Skara Brae or just at a local beach.

Bad! Did not think we would have to sit in a shared local bus for 3 hours to get to John O'Groats. Tour guide on the bus was a giggling teenager who read from a guide book. Once at Orkney, was very unorganised and did not know what bus to get on. The tour guide was the bus driver, who could not keep the facts going because he had to concentrate on driving. If you really want to see the sights, rent a car and do it yourself!
