  • Wonderful experience and excellent tour guide

    Our tour guide, Len, was amazing in many ways: as a source of history and information, as a driver who navigated narrow roads with a skill that brought applause, and as fine human being with kindness toward all. When one is essentially depending on one person for 5 days in each of these categories — we are ever so grateful for our experience. We visited major sites and tiny villages, were given good advice when we asked, and all within a small group and in a very comfortable coach. The tour exceeded our expectations.

  • The perfect tour to discover Cornwall and more!

    Our 5 day tour of Cornwall and Costwalds was just perfect!!Our driver guide, David, was amazing and made the whole tour informative, entertaining and by moments really funny!… He deserves a six star rating! The tour was also well balanced between a lot of great sites to visit (impressive Stonehenge, stunning Minak theater, charming St Ives, beautiful Bath….)and moments of free time. Of course, it helped to have perfect blue sky during the 5 days!

  • Great tour. Could have been much greater

    we were 11 people + guide (Kevin) in a comfortable van. Like me, most travelers were single women 60+. Kevin organized everything perfectly: our hotels and meals and even suggestions for something to do in the evening. he took us to some amazing places and made sure the van is not parked too far away. The bit that disappointed me was that he didn't tell us much about the history and culture of the places we reached. for example, you could expect that a trip to Cornwall will be packed with stories about smugglers, right? no such luck. instead we were treated to a lot of talk about house pricing and cars. The best part of this trip was a guided tour we were offered (at some added cost, 20 pounds if I remember correctly) inside St. Issac (where "Doc Martin" is filmed). that was superb!

  • We had a great time

    We had never been out in the English countryside so this is was a great way to see a lot of different places. Kevin is an absoLUTEly aMAZing AWEsome guide. He’s also the best and most courteous driver in the UK. In spite of a little rain, this trip was wonderful.
