Devon and Cornwall in May 2026

5.00We had a trip to Devon and Cornwall in May 2026, and it was splendid! The tour guide (and a driver), David, is a great storyteller who knows a lot about the places, history and the UK in general, and a very pleasant person to speak with. He not only tells about the visited places, but also uncovers some gems and facts about the UK, British Isles and England. Dartmoor with hairy cows, Boscastle and Tentagel are truly magnificent, as well as other spots of the tour. Thank you!
Great tour

5.00We saw amazing sights. Our tour guide Nic was fantastic. An excellent driver and very knowledgeable, always ready to adapt to our needs. Within a few days he managed to turn 14 strangers into a group of people who helped and supported each other.
We had a great time

5.00Highly recommendable tour if you want to have an awesome guide and not drive those narrow streets yourself. We were more than pleased. Only downside the first hotel, it was a bit low standard for the price, but Rabbies made up for this quite generously
The best tour of Devon and Cornwall with an exceptional guide.

5.00My sister and I had a really enjoyable and educational trip to Cornwall and Devon with a Rabies tour. We enjoyed our 8 fellow passengers ,the itinerary was well planned to show us and explain every thing that was of interest to our colleagues, and the interests spanned history, birds, flowers native to the area, and current conditions. Out driver and guide David was exceptional both at navigating narrow roads and traffic problems as he was knowledgeable about each town and the backroads when traffic was backed up by accidents. I’ve been on several tours in counties as diverse as China, Africa, South America and Europe. David was superior in every way that was important to the diverse members of our tour.

5.00We had an excellent experience with David as our coach driver and tour guide. A kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable man who kept us on time and on schedule with good humour. Be prepared to see fabulous scenery and historical sites off the motorway along rural roads and small villages. Lots of opportunities to try a selection of fresh seafood, cream tea, or a Cornish pasty.
Awesome experience,...

Must do tour
Sonia R,Feb 8, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00When we arrived, it turned out it was just the two of us, and they still ran the full 5‑day tour. Some places weren’t fully open because of winter, but that didn’t stop us from having an amazing trip. Our driver and guide, Carl, was fantastic. Before each stop, he gave us a great overview of the area and what to expect. We encountered a few road closures due to the weather, but Carl made sure we still reached all our planned destinations each day. We chose to stay in bed-and-breakfast accommodation, and both places were lovely. Was a great way to see part of the UK. Would do this tour again.
Great scenery and famous Landmarks
Angela S,Jan 5, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Many famous places plus lovely scenery from place to place. I am very glad I wasn't driving. I don’t know how the driver got us some of these places off the GPS so safely! I didn't realize how big SW England is. The hotels have wonderful breakfasts. My favorites were Port Isaac because my husband and I watched Doc Martin, Stonehenge and the overlooks you climb up to see the statue of King Arthur - breathtaking! The guide had a lot of historical information. He even said "Jolly good question."
