About this activity
Hello, I’m Gail , your friendly local taxi driver and tour guide based in Kirkwall, Orkney. With years of experience, I offer relaxed, flexible tours from the comfort of my car, helping you explore the best of Mainland Orkney at your own pace.
I specialize in visits to our world-famous Neolithic monuments such as Skara Brae, the Standing Stones of Stenness, and the Ring of Brodgar.
For those seeking a gentler experience, I provide scenic drives along the coastline, through quiet villages, and to hidden viewpoints. I also arrange distillery visits, local history stops, and tailor-made routes based on your interests.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and fully licensed — I’m here to help you enjoy Orkney your way.
