Kirkwall Cruise Reviews

We had a tour of St. Magnus Cathedral, The Italian Chapel and Highland Park Distillery - it was very enjoyable and informative. ...

Hired a local taxi for 4 hours. At £40 per hour split 3 ways was worth it. Saw more than those who paid for excursions ...

Did a private walking tour and it was excellent. The guide name was Jane Cook and She was excellent. I can't remember how I booked but it's a service and a few people contacted me and Jane was the first. She made it very interesting for us. Loved this place. It helped that the weather was warm and blue skies. ...

Take a tour on the local Stagecoach bus from the bus station, making sure Michael is the driver. He gives a commentary, although he is not obliged to and the bus visits all the major attractiona. Cost £12 per person, extremely good value compared to the Fred Olsen tour which covers the same places. ...

A lovely place! We opted to do our own thing and had pre-booked a visit to the Highland Park Distillery. This was worth the walk, approx. 45 minutes. Very professional. We were in a small group with a dedicated guide. He was very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Leisurely walk round the various departments were processes were outlined. Followed by a tasting session. The shop ...

We went on the tour that Viking included. As we had been there before we had already seen the island so this tour was adequate for us. ...

Included tour was okay. In the morning, we walked to the distillery at the edge of town (long walk but doable) and took a tour which was great. We booked ahead online but some people just walked in at the first tour time. Even the deluxe tour with more pours did not leave us too happy to get back to the ship for the afternoon included tour. ...

Seeing the Standing Stones of Stenness was interesting. The tour guide was less informative than I would have liked. ...

Cliff walk to Skara Brae. The walk was beautiful and the ruins were very interesting ...

the included tour was very good, however does not include visiting Scara Brae, should consider an optional tour that goes there. ...
