Orkney has amazing archaeology: the world famous Neolithic village of Skara Brae, Maeshowe chambered tomb and the enigmatic henge monuments of Brodgar and Stenness - all part of our World Heritage Site - are just the beginning.

We specialize in small-scale exclusive tours of Orkney, concentrating on the wonderful archaeology but also showing you as much as possible of our beautiful islands. Our tour leaders are professional archaeologists with both Bachelors and Masters degrees in archaeology, and are also qualified Orkney Tourist Guides.

We offer all-inclusive holidays and short breaks, staying at comfortable hotels serving good local food, with a maximum group size of eight. We also offer private day tours, where you can see exactly what you want to see in the company of a specialist guide.
