Paul put together a great experience for us.  We were on a cruise and opted out of the cruise provided tours, instead asking JP Orkney to show us what he and Jane were most proud of on their island in an all day tour and get us back to the boat on time.  They did all of the above, visiting more sites, even more hidden neighborhood sites, a private lunch, and was voted by our group as the best day of our 14 day cruise adventure!!!  Paul’s full of knowledge and stories, never a dull moment.  When we were at a few sites and he was describing intricate details of the stone setup, the tourists on the other tours on “private exploration time” (meaning their company isn’t going to pay for a knowledgeable guide to take you around the site, you must get 4,000 year old information by osmosis) would gather around an listen in to his explanations.

Amazing, fabulous, over-the-top great - wish we could give JP Orkney tours  TEN stars.  We were a family of five (us, adult children and S.O.) on a cruise, and found Jane and Paul's tour for our day on Orkney.  It was outstanding.  Paul is an amazing tour guide - one of the best we've ever had the pleasure of spending time with - and he made our day on Orkney spectacular.  Fun, informative, thoroughly enjoyable.  We opted for their homemade lunch, and it was delicious.  If you ever have the good fortune to spend time on Orkney, you absolutely want to book a tour with JP Orkney. You will LOVE it!

I rate this 10 stars 😁. We had the very old, the very young, the very loud, and the very lazy in our van with us. On top of sharing some amazing history with us, and taking us to all the best sites, Paul was able to keep my kids corralled and entertained, and all of us in great spirits, even those of us who crankily refused to leave the van. The boxed picnic lunch was great - they may have ruined all future sandwiches for me!  When he says he is taking you to his garden, it’s no ordinary backyard. All the details have been carefully thought out behind the scenes - the history behind every site has been studied well, the immaculate electric van is equipped with water, and speakers so everyone can hear. All the bathrooms on the island are likely mapped out in Paul’s head. Timing and mobility are all taken into account in his recommendations, and on top of it, they are just the nicest, sweetest people. I highly recommend this!!

Excellent tour. Paul was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Confortable Mercedes van.  Very good itinerary and amount of time at each site. Convenient pickup and drop off at hotel.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Orkney tour with Paul. He took us all around the island to all the sites we requested and more. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly!  We had a delicious lunch on the coast made by Jane and including homemade jams etc. We highly recommend JP Orkney for tours!!

Jane and Paul's tour of Orkney is brilliant!  The vehicle is very comfortable and made the excursion quite pleasant.  Paul's knowledge of the area and commitment to providing an enjoyable learning experience is impressive.  He also took notice of our interests and customized the tour accordingly.  We can't recommend a JP Orkney tour highly enough.

This day tour of several of the major Neolithic sites of Orkney (including the Stones of Stenness, Ring of Brodgar, Maes Howe, and Skara Brae) was excellent. Paul is very experienced and knowledgeable about the monuments and also gave us  lots of information about contemporary Orkney; his enthusiasm and love for the islands shines through in conversation. The day was informal in style, involving quite a lot of driving from place to place, but all the arrangements worked completely smoothly. We would strongly recommend JP Orkney Tours to anyone wanting to explore these beautiful and evocative places.

Very glad we booked with J&P Orkney Tours, we were able to see so much in our short visit. We would never have managed to fit everything in ourselves.  Being able to combine seeing the historical sights with some coastal walks made it a very memorable trip.   Paul was a great guide,  the 'van chat' allowed us to find out a lot more about Orkney and island life than we would have done just visiting the sights.

Paul offered a wonderful personalised tour. He was knowledgeable about the Neolithic sites we visited and an engaging companion for the day
