Hello
welcome to Odin Tours of Orkney. We are Frank and Meg. Our company specialises in personalised one, two and three day private guided tours of Orkney in English and German. We offer a wealth of local knowledge and love showing visitors from all over the world around these wonderful islands. We can offer you tours on Mainland Orkney or if you fancy island hopping a day on the islands of Hoy or Rousay. Frank, will be your personal driver guide. Meg looks after enquiries and bookings. We are members of OTGA and STGA . Frank has worked as a Green Badge Orkney Tour Guide since 1999.
Because your time in Orkney is precious it is really important that you see and do exactly what you want to at your own pace. Every tour is unique, tailored to your interests and preferences. We will help you plan your itinerary and make any necessary reservations. It is our aim to ensure you have a fantastic time in Orkney. Frank can show you well known places and some off the beaten track treasures in our spacious, comfortable 7 seater vehicle. If you have a larger party we will be happy to arrange a bigger vehicle to accommodate your group.
Now taking bookings for 2023 and 2024
We try to be as environmentally friendly as possible so no longer supply single use plastic water bottles in the vehicle.
What our guests say...
Jean and I just wanted to let you and Frank know that we had a fantastic time on our outing on Thursday. The Neolithic and iron age sites we visited were really interesting. All were great, but we were especially impressed by Broch Gurness. And, the weather was just perfect! We are very grateful for the hard work you put into your tours and feel fortunate to have found you. Jean and Chris - USA- July 2022
Just a very quick email to say how much we enjoyed our day in Orkney and how very happy with the trip and help provided by Frank - we all felt it was above and beyond our expectations.
Frank met us direct from the ship, took us to the places we expected and some we didn't encouraged us to take our time and was, quite simply, an excellent guide.
Thank you both, and we'd have no hesitation recommending you to others or coming back to you next time we visit Orkney, one day really wasn't anywhere near enough time. Dawn and Mike- UK- July 2022
