Welcome to Orkney Archaeology Tours

We are the only tour company in Orkney to be run entirely by professional archaeologists who are also accredited Orkney Tourist Guides, holding the coveted Green Badge awarded by the Scottish Tourist Guides Association. 

We are a partnership run by our tour leaders  who live and work all year round in Orkney and have an in depth knowledge of Orkney’s archaeology, cultural traditions and history – as well as knowing all the best places to see seals!

We specialise in all-inclusive small group Orkney holidays, with a maximum group size of just eight guests, and private tours including our popular 4-night, 3-day Orkney Insights tour, and our 6-night, 5-day Orkney Experience tour

If you are on a short visit to Orkney we can also offer private day tours

We pride ourselves on the very high standard of our holidays and have many satisfied guests over the years, please click on the Tripadvisor link to the left to read their reviews of both our day tours and all-inclusive holidays.

PLEASE NOTE: We still have availability on some of our 2012 holidays but places are going fast - please contact us as soon as possible. We are happy to hold provisional places for you whilst you finalise travel arrangements etc.

We are currently experiencing a rush of bookings due to the recent TV programme on the Ness of Brodgar excavations - please don't leave it too late to book or you will be disappointed.

We are pleased to say we are now accepting bookings for 2013 holidays and tours and our 2013 brochure is now available to download from the green link button at the top of the page.
