Daves Hebridean Archaological Tours

Fascinating tour of the Island! Although we had seen some of the sites before, we got a whole new angle on them from this tour, and learned a wealth of new information that you don't get from reading the signs (when those are even available-- a surprising number of sites in the area aren't even marked and we wouldn't have known they were there had Dave not brought us to them). We learned more from that 4 hour tour than we had from 4 days wandering around on our own, so I'd highly recommend doing this if you're interested in the history of Harris and Lewis!

Dave was an awesome and informative guide for our tour of Lewis. We visited numerous important archaeological sites, learning facts and theories about how and why various structures were built. Lewis has numerous sites to visit. We also enjoyed beautiful beaches along the way. We highly recommend Dave for any tour of Harris/Lewis!!!

A great time spent with Dave who was a mine of information on all things archaeological. We learned how to read the stone circles - first find the viewing stone - and their relationship to the landscape and beliefs of those who built them. The Norse Mill was another favourite - such simple but effective engineering. A few hours with Dave gave us a wider understanding of history from Neolithic times - including to the present day - and a sense of a beautiful place and space. Many thanks Dave

We booked a full day tour with Dave on our Outer Hebrides holiday as a Neolithic nerdy birthday treat and had a fantastic time exploring both the well known sites and places that you could never find on your own. Dave picked us up from Maggie's B&B (Westend B&B) and we spent the day being shown how the many sites fitted into the landscape. Dave was not only extremely knowledgeable about the archeology, but also about more recent history and culture on the islands. Highly recommended. We would do it again as there is so much to see. In the evening after the tour we ate lobster at Doune Braes Hotel having pre-ordered a birthday supper the night before. Our holiday was booked through Hopscotch who arranged a wonderful selection of places to stay as we travelled from north to south and booked all the ferries. We'll be coming back to the Hebrides!
