Orkney Mainland Private Tour
Explore Orkney in this immersive, private full-day tour, perfect for those short on time but eager to experience the highlights of this historic and beautiful Northern archipelago. Over the course of the day, your guide, Paul, an Orkney resident with a deep passion for wildlife and food production, will lead you through 5,000 years of history, stopping at some of Orkneyโs most iconic sites. The tour is conducted in an all-electric Mercedes Evito for a silent, eco-friendly journey through the Orkney landscape, making it as sustainable as it is memorable.
