4.00My wife and I had a great day on the full day Jurassic Coast tour. Paul told us he grew up in the area and was very knowledgeable. There were several pick up points in Bournemouth, making it convenient for us to join the group. We enjoyed the tour. Several good stops were not listed on the itinerary so that was a bonus. We caught the steam train leaving the station at just the right time. The scenery at Durlston Country Park, Durdle Door, and Ludworth Cove were breathtaking. My suggestion would be to offer pick up at the Durdle Door parking lot after the climb back up from Durdle Door to take you to Ludworth so you would have time to climb the next shorter hill in Ludworth. The hike back from Durdle Door parking lot to Ludworth took a lot of time and energy that could have been spent in Ludworth. It would have been nice if we could have gotten closer to Old Harry Rocks ( but that may have taken more time) All in all this tour is a good value with lots of things to see. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Magical day on the coast

5.00Paul is amazing! We had an amazing trip away even in stormy weather which he adapted the trip to well; we hopped to the main sites along the coast and extra transport was facilitated when needed. Everyone involved was so friendly. And I’m looking forward to doing it again!
Amazing

5.00We all had a fantastic day yesterday on the Jurassic Coast tour. Paul was efficient, knowledgeable, reliable, and attentive. We enjoyed every part of the day, especially Corfe Castle, seeing the steam train and the stunning scenery at Durlston Country Park, Durdle Door, and Lulworth Cove. Paul topped the day off by gifting my son an ammonite, which he will treasure forever. We highly recommend this trip. Thank you.
A fabulous day out, put it on your list!

5.00What a wonderful day. We had a lovely tour guide Paul who kept us well informed of the itinery, the history, the local info and a lovely wee sprinkling of his wit, humour and charm. The whole day offered the chance to explore the area and experience breathtaking views. There was plenty of time to explore on your own, from Corfe Castle, Durdle door and Lulworth Cove, there was even time for a quick dip in the sea if you fancied it. I had a fabulous day and there were plenty of eating and drinking venues en-route, I recommend the pasties at the bakery in Corfe but don't eat too much as the little burger place at Lulworth Cove offers amazing burger options. See the pic of their menu. Paul also took the less able to trek, to viewpoints, so they didn't miss a thing. My only plea is that the company introduce an online tipping facility for the driver as none of us had much in the way of hard cash with us. Thanks again Paul. You were amazing.

5.00What a fantastic day tour! Everything was well-coordinated, and the itinerary struck a great balance between sightseeing, learning, and relaxation. Paul our tour guide and driver was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate, although there was just 3 joiner of the tour, the entire experience are both informative and enjoyable. Highlights of the tour were delivered with great insight, and there was plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. The transportation, timing were handled smoothly, adding to the overall comfort of the day. It was a perfect mix of local culture, history, and scenic beauty. A truly memorable experience that I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a well-organized and enriching day tour from Bournemouth!

5.00We arrived in Bournemouth as backpackers with no set plans, and luckily came across this incredible tour right in front of us. It turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One team member even stayed after his work hours to patiently help us find tickets and explain everything in detail, we truly appreciated his kindness. Our tour guide was a wonderful person and experienced, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable. He organized everything perfectly to suit the whole group, and his knowledge and personality made the day so enjoyable. We would definitely do this tour again. It was an unforgettable experience and absolutely worth the price. Thank you for everything! 🙏
