  • While the bus was...

    While the bus was slightly late, it didn't matter. Andy is a fantastic, fun, and knowledgeable guide. All the sites were beautiful. Personally, I would have liked less free time at the spots by maybe 30 minutes but otherwise absolutely perfect.

  • A lengthy but too much free time Excursion

    The guide Andy was fun. However, there is too much free time. We were left 2 hours at a village and another 1 and half half in the afternoon at a even smaller village. Very boring. I would rather they shorten the time and let us go back to our boat by 3pm, instead of later than 5pm. Durdle Door and Corfe Castle ruin have a lot of walk. They were good if you are physically fit.

    Too much time is allowed for the 2 main stops, ıt can easily be reduced in half. There were two messages before the trip, one saying that customers would be met right by the ship and another stating that customers should take a 3 minute bus ride to the castle; 2 contradictory messages which caused a lot of confusion. I had to call the tour company to find out what to do. Tour representatives did not show up until 8:35 while the meeting time was supposed to be 8:OO am.

  • Late pick up but the tour guide and driver made it all worth it!

    Although Viator failed to tell us that the start time changed from 8am to 9am… our tour guide made it all up! He was knowledgeable and a joy to be with… the tour was great…more than enough time to go around by ourselves. Our driver Sam was very safe! This was a great tour!
