Description

Experience the rich Neolithic heritage of Orkney, Scotland, on this private half-day guided tour. Your local guide will lead you through an unforgettable journey to the islands’ most iconic ancient sites, revealing thousands of years of history amidst stunning natural scenery.

Begin your adventure at the Standing Stones of Stenness, some of the oldest standing stones in Britain. Listen to your guide share stories and legends before moving on to the majestic Ring of Brodgar, an awe-inspiring stone circle surrounded by heather-clad hills and tranquil lochs.

Continue westward to Skara Brae, a remarkably well-preserved prehistoric village older than Stonehenge. Marvel at the ancient stone houses, still featuring beds, hearths, and shelves, and learn about daily life as it was over five thousand years ago.

After exploring these archaeological wonders, take in the dramatic beauty of the Yesnaby cliffs, where the wild Atlantic waves crash against towering red sandstone. End your journey at the poignant Italian Chapel, a stunning WWII-era sanctuary built by Italian prisoners of war, its exquisite interiors offering a moving finale to your tour.

This immersive tour includes expert guiding, transportation between sites, and captivating stories at every stop. Tours depart from a convenient central Orkney meeting point and last approximately four hours. Secure your place now to uncover Orkney’s ancient mysteries and breathtaking landscapes—spaces fill quickly, so check availability and book today!
