Private Tour of Orkney

Join us for an adventure of culture, history and scenery. Tour Orkney creates rewarding travel experiences. See Orkney as it's meant to be: vivid, monumental, wild. Discover rich history, captivating myths, and stunning landscapes

Our Private Tour of Orkney allows you to explore the islands at your own pace. Whether you're drawn to the wild beauty of the Old Man of Hoy, fascinated by Orkney’s traditional crafts and local food, or wanting a week-long Orkney Odyssey, Tour Orkney is passionate about designing itineraries that blend must-see sites with off the beaten track gems. 

Why Choose a Private Tour?
  • Tailor-Made Itinerary: Mix Neolithic sites with hidden gems, or scenic hikes with traditional experiences. Orkney is brimming with culture and history. We’re extremely flexible on timing including evening tours which catch the most popular sites at their most peaceful.
  • Luxury Minibus: Travel in comfort in our spacious minibus, which seats up to 8 passengers. It’s even got leather seats (Ciaran wanted to mention this as he’s very proud of the seats - you can take the boy from the farm…).
  • Dedicated Guide: Your guide, Ciaran, will be with you every step of the way (except comfort breaks), offering insights, local knowledge (especially gossip), and a bit of humour to enhance your experience. Above all else we want your visit to be engaging.

Popular Private Tour Highlights
  • Old Man of Hoy: Hike to one of Orkney’s most dramatic landmarks, a towering sea stack. For an added fee, Ciaran will carry you the 2 and a half miles there.
  • Off-the-Beaten-Track Gems: Discover Orkney’s lesser-known treasures, away from the usual tourist routes. 
  • Crafts and Food: Experience traditional Orkney crafts like pottery and jewellery making, and indulge in local delicacies like bere bannocks and hand-dived scallops. The Rollmop Herring is a particular favourite.
