5.00We had an incredible day led by Calum. He took us to a working archaeological dig where we were able to learn about discoveries that we never would have known about otherwise. Do not hesitate to book with him! He is not only as of last time extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with the islands, but he is also just a kind and professional person who can tailor your visit to make sure you get to do everything you set out to do.
A Brilliant Tour That was My Family's Favorite on a Two-Week Trip!

5.00Calum was a fantastic guide! He picked us up from the ship and off we went on our next adventure. He drove me and my family all over the island telling us about its very interesting past and history there. Calum took us to some very special places including a site that dates back over 5000 years. It is truly a special area that we got to see and an honor to have a guide of the character and skill of Calum! I highly recommend taking part in one of his tours that he can customize to show you some truly special places.
A perfect family tour

5.00I booked Calum’s tour for a surprise 70th birthday present for my dad and it was brilliant! He is so knowledgable and passionate about history and knows the island like the back of his hand. His lovely wife Reanne also joined us and they gave us so much insight. A perfect day to cover the best historical sites on the island.
Private tour with Calum in Orkney

5.00Booked a private tour for 3 of us with Calum in Orkney. Communication from first contact was excellent, Calum advised on ferry crossings to sites to see and responded promptly to all the questions i had which was much appreciated. The tour was fantastic! Calum's knowledge and passion for Orkney was outstanding, he adapted the tour to incude different sites we wanted to see (even during the tour) and any request or question was answered happily, in detail and with professionalism. Calum's inside knowledge also meant that we got to see Skara Brae before the crowds arrived. Orkney is truely a magical place and anyone visiting on a day trip i highly recommend a private tour with Calum.
