Enhance your Orkney experience with a qualified Orkney guide
To book a guide please either contact all our guides with your requirements by clicking the link button above, or contact the individual guide directly.
Each OTGA guide has their own pricing structure, terms and conditions and cancellation policy, which you should confirm with your guide when you book your tour.
All tours offered by our qualified Orkney Guides are unique and tailored to your specific requirements, and as such tour rates are negotiated depending on the circumstances of each tour.
Prices will vary depending on the service offered, the language required, whether you require a 'step-on' guide to join you in your own vehicle or if you require a driver-guide with their own vehicle.
Our members are all self-employed and run their own businesses, and we do not set tour rates as an association since this would breach the provisions of the Competition Act of 1998.
However the Scottish Tourist Guides Association, our national governing body, has compiled the following list of rates as an indication only, based on recent tours across Scotland.
Tour rates for illustrative purposes only:
| Half day (up to 4 hours) | Full day (4 - 9 hours) | |
| Step-on Guide (English speaking) | £90 - £110 | £130 - £170 |
| Step-on Guide (other language) | £115 - £135 | £160 - £220 |
| Driver-guide (varies depending on | £330 - £470 | |
| vehicle size & no. of guests etc.) |
Please remember that you are engaging the services of a professional qualified guide, and be prepared to pay a realistic amount for their services, as you would with any other profession.
