Great introduction to Orkney. Paul really knows his history! He’s a very engaging and friendly guide. He and Jane provided a first rate picnic lunch on the beach—an unforgettable day on our Scotland visit!

What a way to experience Orkney. Paul was friendly, informative and got us into all the locations we wanted to visit. Be sure to use JP Orkney tours to maximize your Scottish vacation. Plus, Paul and Jane make some tasty snacks and jams. Great value so don’t miss out.

Paul and his wife Jane made our private tour from Kirkwall around the Neolithic sites on Orkney a very special day. Our cruise ship docked late but fortunately departed late so our pre booked tour went ahead. Great guide with awesome picnic dinner from their organic farm supplied and consumed in spectacular scenery and visit to the farm. Superb knowledge of area great humour and all little comforts catered for both of us. Visit to Skail house lots fun do not miss and Scara Brae is just beautiful. Blessed by great weather it was a stand alone day in what could have been a tour disaster. Thank you Paul and Jane. Awesome day. More than highly recommended ???? ✨️
