Rousay Scenic Archaeological Tour and Wildlife

I have created this tour as an option for any group looking for an evening tour and to take in the way Orcadians do things, Authenticity is my biggest key point and with a lifetime of knowledge in the islands I offer this hosted on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening only from 18:00 hours.
This is a relaxed shoreline style tour with some hidden gems added in with local knowledge and not as full on as my day tours, There will be plenty of information provided but to take in the scenery and vibrations of these amazing islands time is the key!

The itinerary contains options including an evening meal reservation slot at a fine local establishment, please let me know if this is not required and the tour will be shorter.

I estimate a true tour time of between 3 hours (No evening meal) and 5 hours to complete the route. The listed route is not suitable for those with physical limitations but can be altered for those who do.

Transport included.
