10 hours is a long day, but to be able to see many of the highlights of the Jurassic Coast in one day was pretty amazing! Our tour guide Paul was great, very knowledgeable about the area, and very clear and concise about how much time we had to explore and where to be picked up. We booked last minute and it was no problem at all!
Good tour

Very nice tour. The guide was good and the tour was well paced as well. For some reasons booking via viator doesn't offer different pickup locations. It's possible to get picked up from the Bournemouth train station as well as from a few other locations.
Good day trip, make sure you're feeling fit...

Despite the weather being extremely wet for more than half of the trip it cleared up enough to make the highlights of Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove look amazing. Corfe Castle deserves a return trip as the rain really put a literal dampener on it but you can see how picturesque it would look in drier conditions - I'll be back (to quote Arnie...). The trip was physically demanding especially the climb down to Durdle Door beach and back - the steps were very muddy and slick so suitable footwear is essential. The walk to Lulworth Cove was more manageable and took 30 minutes including photo stops en route. As the guide suggested make sure you leave enough time to look around the Cove, the Stairhole and the Crumple as they are lovely too. All in all a decent value, well organised day trip
Very good tour

Amazing tour and some amazing places visited, The driver was very informative and really good host and an overall great tour. Only small issues 1. Air Conditioning didn't work great so very hot on the Minibus and no windows to open. 2. Would have been nice to have had entry into Corfe Castle as part of the booking.
