Why hire a guide?
Because quite simply you will miss out on so much if you don't! Our guides are not only highly qualified professionals, they are passionate about what they do - and they will draw you into your Orkney experience.
Many of our guides are experts in their own field - among our members we have archaeologists, doctors, farmers, folklorists, historians, marine biologists, storytellers, teachers - the chances are if you have a special interest we have a specialist to guide you!
With one of our accredited guides you can be sure of a high quality tour, whichever guide you choose.
Many of our guides offer more than one type of guiding service - exactly what they offer can be found on the guides' own page.
