From the very beginning when I was looking for a tour guide, through the end of the full-day tour itself, David was completely professional and deeply knowledgeable, and just a pleasure to spend time with. He customized the tour to our interests, gave us information on other local sites to see on our own, and even booked a distillery tour for us to do the next day. I wouldn't look elsewhere. Book with David.

We booked David to take us on a two day tour round all the sites in Orkney that we wanted to see. He was brought up in Orkney so is very familiar with all of the area, but he is also extremely well informed and reads widely about the sites he tours. Our trip was well thought out and very organised, and he was happy to alter the route when we chose to spend more time at the archeological sites. He gave us lots of insights into life on Orkney. I would very strongly recommend his tours to anyone visiting.

David hat uns 6 AIDACara Gäste mit seinem komfortablen Van direkt am Pier abgeholt, uns in ca. 5 h alles von der Insel gezeigt, was wir sehen wollten und konnte uns jede Menge interessanter Dinge erzählen. Es lief alles sehr unkompliziert ab und wir hatten einen super schönen Tag auf den Orkneys - der beste Guide unserer 3-wöchigen Reise und eine spannende Destination!

We had the most awesome day with David, of Red’s Orkney Tours. He is professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. This was the most interesting port of our 2 week cruise and we were enthralled by the information and sites we got to see. David will customize your day to ensure you make the most of your time and see the things that interest you most. David was able to explain everything we saw in an understandable manner while imparting tons of information. These are truly world class historical sites and deserve attention and funding. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on Orkney, and highly recommend David, and Red Orkney Tours, for your stop in the Orkney Islands. Try their services, and you will be glad you did.

David "Red" Hamilton provided a day-long tour for our family that kept us interested in the history of Orkney from the neolithic to the present. In a never hurried day we explored 5,000-year-old neolithic sights all the way up to WWII with a visit to Scapa Flow and the must-see Italian Chapel. All along, David provided excellent insights as we walked and drove on the island.
David took care of all the tickets or permits, and every other arrangement so we never found ourselves waiting in queues. The whole day was easy.
This was one of the best days on our entire trip and that is due to David's organization, passion for the subjects, and thoroughness. Thank you, David!

Four of us were in Kirkwall in May on a cruise ship and booked a day tour with David, aka “Red.” I have booked quite a few private guides in various cruise ports. Without a doubt, DAVID WAS THE BEST! His knowledge is genuinely encyclopedic, as is his enthusiasm for the Neolithic history of Kirkwall and the Orkneys. Most important is his ability to communicate — by listening to his guests. He is therefore very responsive to one's questions and interests. The result is a perfect day touring and learning. I won’t go into detail about the sites we saw, because they were too numerous and too fascinating to describe here. We saw Stone Rings, Ancient subterranean villages, a mysterious burial (perhaps) mound, a WWII POW camp, and much more. Each of which we'll remember because of David's expert descriptions
The May weather made the climate much less than perfect. David's ability to keep us in mostly dry spots all day was a combination of his knowledge of the area and quite a bit of luck. He just took great care of us. We never had to pay an admission charge. He even let us use his tourist card to get discounts in gift shops and cafes. He provided plenty of bottled water and snack bars for the day. So, in addition to the best possible tour, he provided exceptional value.
If you find yourself in Kirkwall for a day and want to make the most of your time, I urge you to contact Red's Orkney Tours and let David do the rest. You will have a great day.
I'm sorry, David, to be so slow in providing thus review. You deserved much more timely feedback. Tim

Hi Tim. I am delighted that you have left a review, and such a comprehensive one at that! Taking the stress out of your time in Orkney is an important part of the service that I provide. Keeping you dry is sometimes more difficult, but I will always try my best.

We put together a small group from our cruisecritic roll call and we had a brilliant day
we had a short port day and tendering made it even shorter.
However we managed to get on one of first tenders so David made sure we made the most of our 4 hours
David really brings history to life and you wont be sorry you booked him

Great tour, he was so informative, professional, and passionate about his home town. Out of our 3 weeks in Europe this day was my husband's favorite with all the history and old relics as well as the details he gave us on each. I saw another review that said, "Best tour guide in Orkney" - I totally agree. You can't go wrong with David. Great day for sure.

Hii arrive on the early ferry on 17/09/18. I leave on the early ferry on 19/09.
I wonder do you have any space for a single traveler on your tours on the 2 days I am there? Would the 17th be difficult due to the ferry? I am more than happy to share if you have any customers who would not mind me joining them.
If any availability can you let me know which day and cost please?
Cheers.

my wife and I will be cruising to Kirkwall on June 4th on Norwegian line, arriving at 11am and leaving 7pm. We're looking for a tour that will take us to the Quaholm farmhouse (my wife's ancestors lived there), as well as some of the Neolithic sites. Is there any availability on this date, and if so, what would be the cost. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi. I’m afraid I’m already booked on that day. If you visit the Orkney Tourist Guides Association Page, you can fill out a form with your request that goes to all registered guides. You can also get in touch with the Orkney Family History Society on Facebook. They are a great help in finding family, and helping with information. Sorry I couldn’t help, I hope you enjoy your trip to Orkney.

What are the good ways to spend say 3 or 4 hours in town center of Kirkwall on foot? Walking around, shopping ? Any hop-on hop-off bus route?
كُتب بتاريخ 5 يونيو 2017
There is a hop on bus that can take you to Skara Brae, or you can spend time exploring Kirkwall. There are lots of shops and nice places to eat. There is a museum, Cathedral and two palaces that you can visit.
