The best way to experience true Shetland is to get out of town and see the rural communities which are backbone of island life. Join us as we cross Lerwick Harbour to the small island of Bressay (population c.350) where we're guided by an island resident who shows us the best of his island home. Experience life on a Shetland croft, meet the famous sheep and delve into Bressay's 6000 year history through the eyes of a qualified archaeologist.

Tour of the Isle of Bressay Not to Be Missed

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our small-group tour of the Isle of Bressay, a short ferry-ride from Lerwick. Our driver Aidan met us at the terminal and took us to meet our guide Chris at his croft on Bressay. An archaeologist by training and now a passionate resident of the island, Chris gave us an interesting account of the island. We loved watching the sheep dog round up the sheep as well as experiencing the magnificent vistas of this beautiful island. The tour is highly recommended.
An extraordinar experience

5.00Very pleasant driver and the farmer Chris with whom spent the most of the time was an extraordinary man. Very skilled in archaeology, history and farming. Maybe the best educated man you will find on your trip. And very passionate in his profession and good story teller. He alone is worth the travel to Shetland.
Best tour ever!

5.00This was the very best tour of our vacation. We saw the working of a sheep farm first hand, spectacular views that were off the beaten path, and it was extremely informative. I learned a lot about the archeological sites of Shetland. This should not be missed.
Chris is the best! Fantastic tour

5.00We had an absolutely incredible time touring Bressay with Chris. He was an awesome guide and showed us so much cool stuff we would have never seen if we had stayed in Lerwick and not booked an excursion. Highly recommend!
The best tour in Lerwick Scotland! Don’t miss!!

5.00If you are ever in Lerwick, Scotland take this incredible tour to Bressay! One of a kind, up close and personal tour of the quiet, pristine and self sufficient Garths Croft. Chris is a historian, archeologist, and sheep herder to name a few of the hats he wears developing this homestead and helping to preserve and understand the natural history of Bressay. Go! You won’t be disappointed! The best tour we have ever done…
