    What a wonderful trip. Everyday was filled with beautiful sights, phenomenal history, relaxing travel, perfect accommodations, delicious meals, and great times with new friends. *Dinner on the Orkney Islands is a challenge, and you'll want to make reservations in advance.

    Except tour although maybe we could have stopped at a few more places, eg castles. The driver was excellent very informative and cared about his passengers. I loved the music the driver played throughout the journey eg scottish. We should rotate seats and not stay in the same seat as some of us never had a chance at the window.

    We learned so much about the neolithic age and archeology. We also saw the most amazing scenery. Scotland has to be the most beautiful country. We are reading as much as possible about the Orkney Islands.

    Knowing our tour itinerary and that of other tour companies, Micheal is very adeptly brought our tour to venues when least crowded for our best experience. He also included additional stops that were of interest to the participants. A very informative and excellent tour and guide.
