Reviews of Orkney & Shetland Self-drive










Very good
Really good choice of guest houses. Organisation of tickets and ferries, coupled with the accompanying maps and place descriptions meant that we didn't have to worry about anything.

Very efficient and helpful





Roaming the Islands
We spent quality time walking on Orkney and Shetland.,especially coastal cliffs. Rental cars gave us access to wherever we wanted and accomodation was varied and very welcoming.

We were late in asking for help arranging a tour that would fit our time line. But the company put together a varied tour with excellent accomodation and a great bird watching trip by boat. They were excellent communicators and responded quickly to our questions.





Sea birds and Seals….and Orca
Excellent communication at all times from the company and a very well organised two centre holiday on Shetland and Orkney, organised trips were excellent and accommodation varied and again very good.

Well organised, friendly and professional service
Really enjoyed our fly drive to Orkney and Shetland. Weather was better than expected and people were very friendly. Enjoyed walking on beaches, visiting museums and other places of interest as well as shopping...food outlets were really good.

Delighted to read this Sheila. Thank you also for taking the trouble to leave a public review.





Orkney and Shetland - more beautiful than the English Lakes?
We loved the scenery, wildlife watching, trips and tours, accommodation and food. The history - from Stone Age to WW2 - was fascinating. We were lucky with the weather, which felt very important.
