Private Tour

Mobile ticket
This tour is for visitors to the Isle of Man who would like a day out seeing as much as possible. Due to time constraints we do not go into sites other than outdoor heritage sites which have no entry charges. Most of the sites can be self guided although I am quite willing to guide in them.
I am a qualified blue badge guide with an operators licence to drive visitors around the island, fully insured with public liability.
Although a set tour has been set up I am quite happy to adjust the tour to suit the visitors needs.

In over 5 years of doing private, cruise line, Tours-By-Locals and Viator tours Jane is absolutely the best tour guide we’ve EVER had! The 8 hour tour she provided took us to the highlights around the entire island. If you have never been to this island you must plan a trip here whether by cruise, bus or on your own. The natural beauty of the island totally blew us away! Jane knows the island’s history, agriculture, governing structure, economics, etc. and personnel at every stop we made. In addition to the standard highlights she showed us hidden gems like the WW II interment camp sites at Knockaloe and the geological Lapetus Suture at Niarbyl. Great lunch and for desert she took us through a door where we ate to see a 2/3 rd replica of a Viking ship that actually sailed from Trondheim Norway to Peel Isle of Man. We met as strangers and left as good friends.

Jane's enthusiasm and her vast knowledge base made her a delight to have as a tour guide. Receptive to questions and highly aware of her client's interests, Jane was able to merge her client's interests while simultaneously sharing information about the Isle of Man. The eight-hour experience felt like eight minutes - her passion for her job was infectious!

The island's history came to life while on tour with our guide. Fantastic storytelling that bolstered our curiosity and desire to find where our ancestors came from. Well worth the experience!

This was a magical tour that let us explore all parts of this mystical and wondrous island. We highly recommend Jane, our tour guide, who led us to these beautiful places. She seemed to know everyone, has a lot of experience on the Isle, and made sure to make this an unforgettable experience. This private tour is highly recommended over group tours because you can see and do so much more...It's hard to put into words how much more you get. It's worth every penny. The Isle of Man quickly became one of my favorite places I've visited (been to over 50 countries), and I look forward to spending much more time here.

Jane was simply amazing. She knew absolutely everything about the Isle of Man and knew absolutely everyone. We could not have selected a better guide.
