    The trip to Orkney and Skara Brae was a life changing experience. Our group was the first time that the Inverness office had conducted the tour (it used to solely come from Edinburgh) and we were blessed to get to know Sir Duff (Fraser Duff, lead guide) as well as guides Harrison, Emma & Sonia. The accommodations in Kirkwall were an enchanting B&B Karawa (proprietor was Fiona) and we had cooked to order breakfast. I loved having our own en suite. There was plenty of variety in our tour stops - history and art and birds / scenery / the “hairy coo” etc. The tour bus was clean and modern. The trip delightful. We did two different tours with Highland Experiences / Haggis Adventures / Radical Travel.

    Thanks for putting us in touch with Highland Experience. It was a wonderful excursion. I would like to make a suggestion that would be helpful to older people who are not no familiar with technology. Please let people who are traveling to the UK know well in advance that they must acquire an ETA and how to go about doing it. Thank you. John Gilchrist
