Orkney Tourist Guides Association

Hi, I'm Marlene, a native Orcadian and STGA qualified green badge guide for Orkney. I'm a driver guide,with my own car  carrying a maximum of 4 passengers.

I am also available to do step on coach work if you are bringing your own coach to Orkney

 

I'm born and brought up on these amazing islands, so I have a wealth of local knowledge and local tales for you, including folk tales for both adults and children. 

 

Orkney is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year. In the Summer we have long days with almost 24 hours of daylight so you can be out sightseeing till midnight if you choose. And in the Winter, short days, spectacular storms, clear starry skies, a chance to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

 

There is so much to see and do here, history covering over 5,000 years of continuous occupation, from the Stone Age, Iron Age & Bronze Age, to the Vikings, and to modern day, with touches of Wartime History, Tales of Cruel Earls & Shipwrecks throughout the ages.

 

We have amazing birdlife, scenery to take your breath away, nature by the bucketload. Crystal clear skies and pure light will give you some of the best photographs and memories you have ever had.

 

Some of my specialties are Agriculture and farm tours and family history

 

Take a look at my website, and see if I can help you get the best out of your trip to Orkney.
