Pat Stone guided our family of five for two days in May and our time with her easily ranks as one of our best family getaways. As parents, it's always a pleasure to have someone else acting as chauffeur and navigator and Pat expertly steered us through an itinerary designed to appeal to children and adults alike. She captured the... More

Pat Stone was the ideal tour guide - she took my friend and myself (both energetic seniors), on a fascinating and very fun tour of Orkney. We especially appreciated that she corresponded with us in advance of our time together in order to ensure that she would be taking us to the places that would have the most meaning for... More

I visited Orkney on a two day private tour in February with Pat Stone. Pat's enthusiasm for Orkney, its history, and its people left a lasting impression. Everything about the tour was perfect--even the weather! Pat is well-organized but also very flexible and creative, allowing for a truly unique experience. I'd highly recommend her to anyone planning a visit to... More

Pat Stone, owner and operator of Orkney Aspects, acted as our trip guide, historian, driver, and occasionally as our interpreter. I was there with my wife in the rain and wind for a pre-planned photography shoot. We were with Pat two days, and she had already done her homework by familiarizing herself with my website and previous travel photography, so... More

I thought I knew what I wanted to see, but am so thankful we decided to follow Pat's suggestions. When... More

We visited Orkney as part of our honeymoon, and our one-day tour with Pat was the absolutely perfect introduction to the archipelago. Pat put together an itinerary that covered some of the major prehistoric sites on Mainland, including (among others) Maes Howe, the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae. She was hugely knowledgeable about all of them, passing on information... More

On 26th September 2012 I enlisted the services of Pat Stone, Orkney Aspect Tours. I certainly made the right choice as Pats knowledge of Orkney was first class. Prior to meeting her I had forwarded details of my great grandparents who had farmed on Orkney and she had taken the trouble to track down there land and showed me where... More

Have visited all these sites 40 years ago but having the tour with Pat was superb. My wife and 2 other family members agree that it was the highlight of our 5 weeks at home in Scotland, and if you book a tour with Orkney Aspects it will be the most well- spent money you leave in Scotland. When you... More

We spent 14 days in Scotland and Pat's tour of the archeological sites in Orkney was by far the highlight of the entire trip. She is extremely knowledgeable and fun to be with. She started the day with a drive around the island where she pointed out some of the significant archeological and geographic sites and then took us to... More
