Pat Stone’s knowledge of the islands, its historical sites and culture is extremely diverse and multifaceted. There wasn’t a question that she wasn’t able to answer or she knew the person who could provide the answer. Her ability to connect with people and her knowledge truly enhanced our experience and made the tours unforgettable. I can't imagine Orkney without Pat... More

I took a group of college students from Kansas, USA to Orkney to study both the literature and the archeological sites of the islands and booked Pat Stone for three full days of tours. She was, quite simply, fabulous. Pat's commanding knowledge of the sites, her deep insights into what life would have been like for those who lived during... More

We booked Pat for a day's tour when visiting Orkney, having been recommended to contact her by a friend. We wanted to research family history and to see places of interest, and were not disappointed. Pat had prepared in advance for our visit and had researched lots of helpful information for us. Our day was filled with fascinating visits, and... More

We travelled all the way to Orkney with a musical group from Miles MacDonell Collegiate in Winnipeg to put on a show with the local Orcadians. We were received with grace and warm hearts along with rich musical blessings. Pat Stone came with us to make a tour of the islands, and she absolutely made our day. She has an... More

I visited Orkney from Japan, with my mother, to see Maeshowe & the historical sites. I've been interested in these since i learned about them in a univ class- and Pat's excellent & detailed explanation of the ancient culture & language inspired me even more. She is such a talented, skillful guide who has all what a tour-guide needs- deep... More

Pat Stone absolutely made our trip to Orkney. She was informative, professional, full of enthusiasm and made a very engaging guide. I would not hesitate to recommend. We managed to fit in all the must-see places on Orkney mainland during our day-long tour. More

Our one day escorted trip to Orkney with Pat Stone from Orkney Aspects was one of the most memorable days of our long European holiday. Pat was very helpful in advising us what we might be able to fit in to a one day visit, and then she made it all happen. She met us at the airport and whisked... More

The time we spent on Orkney with Pat was the highlight of our visit to Scotland! I only wish we had spent longer touring and visiting with Pat. She is extremely friendly,knowledgable and very interesting. She takes every detail into consideration when helping to plan the time you have visiting Orkney. I am so glad we found her.

My husband and I, in our late 60's and early 70's, but still reasonably vigorous, planned a 5-day visit to Orkney for late September, 2011, especially to explore the Neolithic sites. We had done some reading in preparation for this trip and were fairly knowledgeable about the exceptional Neolithic remains in Orkney. In order to deepen our experience of these... More
