The expense of the packed lunch is included in your E-tour Orkney fee.

For the most part yes. The bikes can be used in light to moderate rain conditions. However, unfortunately the bikes are not suitable to use in heavy rain and/or very windy conditions. We will do our best to get out on the bikes at every opportunity. In the event of very poor weather conditions, we will conduct the tour by bus and follow the same itinerary.

Birsay (the tour location) is certainly one of the quieter areas on the Orkney mainland. Although this is in the middle of a farming community, traffic is much quieter here than elsewhere, but you must show consideration with regards to passing traffic on single lane roads as it may require coming to a stop on the bike to allow them to pass. There is no need to worry about this though as tour guide Daniel will make this all clear in the briefing and instruct when the group must stop for the traffic.

The times which are on the itinerary are just a guide. However, we will be doing our best to follow these times as closely as possible to ensure you can plan the rest of your day too. For example, if you must reboard your cruise liner for 3pm and the tour is due to finish at 3:15pm, please make this known to E-tour Orkney as we can aim to get back to Kirkwall slightly earlier to tailor to everyone’s needs. Contact us by email to voice any concerns you may have.

The tour route will cover roughly 12.5 miles. Don’t worry if that sounds too far! The bikes can do most of the work for you – depending on the level of pedal assistance that you select. You can either make the journey a workout or a leisurely pedal – it’s up to you.

Yes, juniors aged between 14 and 18 are eligible for a discount. Please note that an adult will be expected to attend with any under 18s and will be responsible for their care. Under 18s will also be expected to have proof of age on their identification document.
