Small Group Tours

Are you visiting Shetland as a small group? Would you like a tour tailored to your own interests?

We can offer a bespoke small group tour in a comfortable 8 seat vehicle. For larger groups we can arrange small group tours in a 16-seat minibus.

We offer a flexible service and if you wish to only visit a particular attraction, contact us with your specific requirement.

For example we could take you on a trip to explore the Shetland wool industry in Shetland with a visit at the Shetland Designer in the South Mainland. This could be followed by a stop in Hoswick to see the Visitor Centre with its treasure trove of history and heritage. There is also the Knitwear Factory next door to visit. You could enjoy a relaxing tea of coffee and then round off your trip with a short trip meet some Shetland ponies and view seals basking on the beach.

We can arrange a ‘Shetland Pony Experience’ in Burra where you can get "up close and personal" with some friendly Shetland ponies.  Click here for more information.

Find out more about the history of Shetland by visiting Jarlshof, our most important archaeological site, the Crofthouse Museum and Quendale Mill. Or you might like a day trip to the dramatic cliffs at Eshaness. If you have watched the crime drama ‘Shetland’ we can take you on a tour of the filming locations. Whatever your interest we can help you have a great Shetland experience. Just contact us with your requirements! Let us help make your visit to Shetland unforgettable.
