Amanda uses wise and insightful knowledge to demonstrate the interesting culture and history of Shetland. Apart from the plenty of archaeology, local lore and legends told, she also told a lot of stories of her travelling all over the world. Although the weather was stormy and snowy all day, her SUV was steadily and smoothly driven on the road all along. A number of great viewpoints along the coast were visited, and we were on time for a quick lunch at one of the café loved by the locals. Great experience for the one-day visit!

Jeff gave us an interesting tour from a man who loves his adopted home. He knew the history and the milieu, able to transmit his knowledge easily and in an interesting way.
As good as any tour we’ve ever had. It is an unqualified recommendation.
