Volunteer Tour Guides for an Orkney Charity Event.
Explore Orkney are currently preparing an autumn charitable event to take less advantaged people from our local community on a sponsored inter-island tour. We would be pleased to hear from experienced tour guides who wish to contribute. Recently qualified tour guides who would like to gain more experience may also find this a worthwhile opportunity.
