A perfect day led by Dougie - We had a fantastic day trip to the island of Hoy yesterday with Dougie from Orkney Travel. The entire day was beautifully planned and ran smoothly from start to finish. The itinerary struck a great balance—informative, engaging and never rushed. Dougie’s knowledge of the island’s history, landscape and wildlife was absolutely top-notch. He has a real gift for storytelling and made the island come alive for us. The minibus was comfortable, which made the journey in the heat, more enjoyable. One of the real highlights was the picnic lunch on the beach, lovely food and lovely scenery! Overall, a brilliant experience. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Orkney!

Stunning Hoy - This trip went ahead even though I was the only person on it. Great guiding from local resident Ron. This is a well run company that I recommend using and would use again.
