‪My experience with Orkney Aspects was wonderful. Pat was incredibly knowledgable about the islands and made for a fun tour guide. The sites she took me to were absolutely fascinating. These included Skara Brae, Maeshowe and the Ring of Brodgar. But she also took me to some lesser known sites, such as the Tomb of the Eagles, which were equally as interesting as the more well known ones. The entry cost for the sites is all included and Pat plans the trip in a way that you visit the sites when they are the least busy.

Lunch was included in the price of the tour, and each day she took me to a quaint place with good, homemade food. Having the lunch included is great, as I didn't have to worry about packing a lunch or allocating money each day for a meal.

Overall, it was a wonderful three days I had on tour with Pat; I can't imagine a better way to have seen Orkney. Thanks Pat!‬

‪When we booked our cruise, I knew I wanted to experience the Orkney I wanted to see, which meant seeing as many of the neolithic sites as we could while getting a feel for life in the Orkneys. Our tour delivered that in spades, and our guide, Ann, was amazing, answering every question with interesting facts. It was a wonderful (albeit windy) day, everything was perfect, including lunch at the Birsay Bay Tearoom. Thank you for a great tour, you certainly made us fall in love with Orkneys; we'll be back ;).‬

‪I am so torn about how to rate this company, which was highly recommended to me by a prior cruising customer.

They showed up right on time. It was a small coach, as promised. The guide was friendly and knew the area very well. HOWEVER! We were told, right before boarding the bus, that we'd been assigned to a "children's tour" (we have a 12 year old) and that we wouldn't be seeing ANY of the sights that were promised in the tour description, except for the standing stones. So, that meant no Skae Brae, no Maeshowe, no Skaill House, no narration or info about the place's naval history... NOTE that these are all still promised on the company's website. We asked the tour guide twice to reconsider and at least take us to Skae Brae, but he said he couldn't change things and we'd have to talk to the owner at lunch.

So, we were pretty upset.

But then... he took us to this amazing out-of-the way shop with local crafts. And he took us to a 2,000 year old stone village that was entirely deserted and we could walk through freely (which he said was better than the 5,000 year old Skae Brae because you can't walk through that and it's crazy crowded). And he took us to a mill and farm museum that proved to be pretty interesting.

And the lunch WAS as promised, at a little tea shop, and delicious.

So, I'm really torn. It was a very good day, but it wasn't the day we were promised, and we didn't get advance notice from the company. Also, a 12 year old doesn't necessarily need accommodation as a child when selecting places to visit (ours does not). We should have been told about the changes FAR in advance, so we could elect another tour or ask to be put on the adult tour.

As Americans say, this was a classic bait and switch... but the switch was pretty darn good. Still, in the end, because of this switch without notice or flexibility, I can't recommend this company.‬

‪My husband and I only had three days in Orkney and knew there would be no way to see it all. In an effort to see and learn about some of the incredible historical sites on the main island, we decided to book a day trip with Pat Stone. My only regret is that we didn't book two days instead of one with Pat!

Pat worked with us ahead of time to figure out what our interests were so she could help us decide what to see in the day we had together. She was extremely communicative over email , answered all our questions and her price is an amazing value especially because it comes with such a knowledgeable guide.

On the day of our tour, she picked us up from our hotel and we instantly felt at ease with her. Pat is friendly, chatty and asked questions to get to know us personally as we set off on our adventure. Within 30mins it was clear to us that Pat was so much more than a tour guide- her knowledge of the sites in Orkney as well as the actual archaeological process by which these sites are being investigated was mind blowing. Pat is a woman who clearly loves the island, the history and has a personal investment in helping uncover the secrets these neolithic sites have to tell us.

Pat deftly avoided all the enormous cruise ship tour buses that were chugging along at each site we also wanted to visit so it never felt like we were competing with throngs of other tourists. She knew exactly how much time was a good amount to spend at each location and we never felt rushed. What made it even better is that Pat pre-arranged for our entrance into each site, including the difficult to get into Maeshowe tomb! It never even occurred to me that we might need to book months in advance to see the impressive tomb, but Pat had all the forethought and booked us in so we didn't miss the incredible site. The realization that booking with Pat was such a good decision came when we realized how many guides working at the sites we visited had been trained by Pat!

She took us for a lovely lunch to break up the day and in the end when we parted, we truly wished we had thought to book a second day with her. Booking with Pat made our trip to Orkney feel more like we had gone to visit a friend who toured us around and less like someone we had hired. Thanks to Pat we will definitely plan to return to Orkney again to experience more of what this great chain of islands has to offer.

In the span of a full day tour, we saw: the Ring of Brodgar, the Ness of Brodgar archaeological site (active site), the Standing stones of Stenness, Unstan tomb, Maeshowe and Scapa Flow.

If you are going to be in Orkney, do yourself a favor and book with Pat. It is so much better than trying to visit these sites on your own, and you will come away with knowledge you are unlikely to ever forget. Talk about the trip of a lifetime. All thanks to Pat!‬

‪If you are on a cruise do not book with this company. If in the unfortuante event of gale force winds in the area your cruise will not stop due to the safety of passengers. This was our situation, we contacted Pat via email and phone to inform her of the current situation with over 36 hours notice. She never replied to our emails concerning a refund.‬

‪We can highly recommend this tour. Pat was exactly what we had hoped for plus so much more. To have such a knowledgeable archeologist show us around the World Heritage sites absolutely made our trip. There was no question about Orkney Pat was not able to answer -we just learnt so much travelling around with her. As well we had an absolutely delicious lunch, specially catered for us.‬

‪When we planned our trip to Scotland, I know we wanted to see Orkney, but knew we didn't have as much time as we would want. We reached out to Pat with Orkney Aspects and she set up a great "Orkney Overview" to explore so much of the island, taking into account we were coming and going on ferries in the same day.

She also set up a fantastic lunch with some of the best smoked salmon and fresh crab that I've had at the Birsay Bay Tearoom.

Pat was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and open to any and all questions. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of tour company. Finally, she was able to work with us when we ran into some travel difficulties (boo flat tire!).‬

‪Having only a few days in Kirkwall, we asked Pat Stone of Orkney Aspects Tours to take my husband and I on a tour of the Mainland for a day. We were interested in seeing the Neolithic sites and learning about their significance as well as visiting other important venues on the Island such as the Scapa Flow, St Magnus Cathedral and the Italian Chapel. We knew we could eventually find these venues by ourselves but it would take a lot of time, and we wouldn't acquire the rich history that a guide could share with us.
I booked with Pat many months in advance as I knew her tours were extremely popular. She responded to all my queries quickly and from my email correspondence with her I knew she was going to tailor a tour which covered our particular interests.
We couldn't have been happier about our tour with Pat. She collected us from our accommodation, took us to all the sites we had mentioned and provided an in-depth background to the history of the magical Orkneys.
Pat is such a friendly, relaxed person and it was a pleasure to spend the day with her. Our tour included a delicious light lunch based on local produce and all entry fees to the Neolithic sites were included.
Pat is passionate and knowledgeable about both the Orkneys and archeology and we certainly learned so much more than if we had tried to explore it ourselves.
There is great deal more to discover about the Orkneys than you can cover in one day so two days with Pat would have been ideal. We would have no hesitation in recommending a tour with Orkney Aspects.‬

‪Anne was our guide and what a character. Her knowledge of the island and her friendliness was great. Always making sure we were understanding the history, but if not interested, she would move on. The included lunch was unbelievable. Would highly recommend this tour‬

‪Pat Stone was a very knowledgeable guide during our one-day experience. My wife and I were visiting the island for the first time and wanted an early introduction to the major sites here before spending four days on our own exploring. Pat was very accommodating, helpful and pleasant to be with us as she tailored our day to reflect our interests. Although her fee was substantial, it was a good value in that it touched the key sites well and helped us to establish the rest of our visit and schedule.‬
