Testimonials

I cannot be too complimentary about the quality of your organisation and management of the holiday. Without your efficiency and energy, we would have come nowhere near seeing and having such a wide range and diversity of places and experiences as we did. Yet you achieved this with such consideration and good humour that I never felt that I was being managed or organised. It simply seemed as if everything worked effortlessly like clockwork, and to achieve that appearance requires the very best kind of management! But what made it special was, as I said on Saturday, that you belong to and love the Orkney community and heritage, and that you shared something of this with us, and in a way drew us into this experience.

Dear Caz, I just want to say how very much I enjoyed my holiday last week. The week exceeded all my expectations in every respect, and your encyclopaedic knowledge of and insight into the past is awesome. I have wanted to visit Orkney almost as long as I can remember and it was an experience I shall never forget. Thank you for fulfilling a long held dream. Jenny M, Cheshire, UK 

Two days on Orkney with Dave Lawrence just are not enough! My group of 15 people, ranging in age from 23 to 88, was captivated by Dave's knowledge of Orkney's past and present. He held our undivided attention for eight and a half hours each day, as we were educated about Orkney's history, archaeology, wildlife, culture, and the islands as they exist today. We were fortunate to see the Ness of Brodgar on one of the last days before it was returned to Winter solace; having the benefit of a professional archaeologist with such strong communication and presentation skills made this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Two great days, but not enough.

We want to thank you for the excellent hotel, food, and guide services you provided us in Orkney. Everything was first class and we could not have been more pleased. You fully met or exceeded all our expectations and we are most pleased to recommend you to our friends and any others who want to experience the best of Orkney. We are pleased to have met you and hope that we can remain in touch in the future. Mr. & Mrs. C.S., North Carolina, USA

I would just like to thank you very much for an excellent holiday on Orkney. My mum, dad and myself had a wonderful time. It was a real pleasure to be shown around the mainland by someone who had such a wealth of knowledge of the history of Orkney. Your attention to the fine details and your passion for the job really helped to make this holiday a fabulous experience for us. Mr. C. A., Glasgow, UK

A note to thank you so very much for your patience in dealing with us for 2 days - especially with my neurosis about confined spaces. The whole thing was brilliant and I have absolutely no doubt that some (or all) of us will be back some time to plague you - there is an unbelievable amount to see and you are so knowledgeable - the hotel did you proud - and everyone was so friendly! Mr. & Mrs. I.D, Monmouth, UK
