Last week my wife and I completed Caz Mamwell's one week Orkney tour which this year is being run ten times over the course of the late Spring and Summer. Ours was the first tour of the season. It is limited to eight participants which, not surprisingly, is the number of seats available in her very comfortable van. The 2012... More

Caz provided the two of us with a private thirteen day tour of the principal archaeological sites of Orkney. We had done a bit of research and knew we also wanted to see many of the outlying islands, such as Papa Westray and Sanday, for example, in addition to the more frequently visited sites on Mainland. Caz made sure we... More

We spent a wonderful day with Caz as she drove us around the mainland and showed us many of the fascinating sights. Our day started promptly at 9am and did not end until just after 5pm and in that time not a moment was wasted. Even on our stop for coffee and lunch we had wonderfully informative chats with Caz....

Cas's archaeological tour for four of us was absolutely excellent - tailored to our needs, supplying us with anything needed - like walking poles, knee pads, flexible, friendly, alert to our needs and abilities and so knowledgeable. This day out was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay in Orkney - want to return and will definitely book with her again. More

Caz is willing to tailor her tour to the group she has with her, and is a caring and thoughtful guide. She wears her academic understanding of the history and archaeology of Orkney lightly, but provides a great depth of knowledge about all aspects of Orkney's past and present. A day with her left us with a much clearer understanding... More

Four of us had a private one-day tour with Caz Mamwell of Orkney Archaeology Tours. Caz is a great tour leader - she has a real in-depth knowledge of the area and its history, as well as the ability to tell its stories in a fluent and interesting way. She was able to answer all of our questions and also... More

Caz Mamwell of Orkney Archaeology Tours provided a well organized week long tour of many important archeological sites -- from neolithic Skara Brae to World War II sites at Scapa Flow. The tour was very well organized, and Ms Mamwell was both entertaining and highly informative. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested in Orkney or in neolithic archeology. More

We did Caz's three-day tour of Mainland Orkney and had the most wonderful time. We hadn't read any of these reviews before we went but on reading them now, I would agree wholeheartedly with everyone's comments. Caz is an absolute encyclopaedia of knowledge about the history and culture of Orkney. She was able to explain and give us amazing details... More

I had been dreaming of going to the Orkneys or some other remote part of Scotland, and my particular interest is archaeology. While I don't usually travel with any kind of tour, it seemed to me that going on my own to see sites outside cities and scattered over a largely rural area would be next to impossible, especially given...
