Did a 10 day walking tour of Orkney & Shetland recently with Alastair Ewen and had an amazing time! Learned and saw so much, only wish it could have been longer it was such a good experience. Highly recommend.

Very good organization, the logistical organization is perfect, the walks well thought out, leaving time to appreciate the landscapes, the birds, the flowers, the beauty of the landscapes. They also allow you to discover all the historical richness of the islands, it was a really very enriching discovery.
