What makes this tour unique?


Delve into the past on our guided tour of Kirkwall. Our guide will lead you through The Broch of Gurness, a drystone building dating back to around 200BC, and tell what has been learned of this ancient structure and its old inhabitants since its unearthing in 1929. We then head to the centre of Orkney to view the stunning Ring of Brodgar, a landmark dating back to the early Bronze Age. Your guide will discuss possible theories about these ancient standing stones, and those like them across Britain. Were they Show less

        Cobh/Cork: Blarney Castle, Kinsale & Cork City Shore Tour

        This was a fantastic experience! Beautiful drive, well planned tour, very nice bus. No regrets at all booking this independently instead of through the cruise line. We went the same places the cruise line excursions did and had a much better value!  ... Our tour guide was excellent as well! Highly recommend!
