- PMPatricia· October 3rd, 20240verrall, the itinerary was excellent, providing loads of history. It would have been a great addition to include some folk or Gaelic music...a pub experience. One four star restaurant would be sufficient. The accomodation was comfortable with a staff ready to meet traveller's needs.Show more

- Howard· May 21st, 2024I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the Orkney Islands. Our guide, Rhys, was great company, knowledgeable and proactive, and the pace and itinerary suited us very well. Lots to do and see and it was good to have some free time also. 5/5 for Rhys and the tour experience in the Orkneys. One quibble (unrelated to Rhys or the time spent in the Orkneys) is that communication with Intrepid is not easy. I’m the build up we had a few questions, and getting answers was a little slow and a bit of an effort. Intrepid or Tour Radar should have human beings readily available to answer questions promptly, instead of relying primarily on bots and FAQs.Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for taking the time to post a review about your trip to the Orkney Islands!
