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!

A full day of sites and history. Dundle Door was awesome. The walk to get to it was not difficult, but very strenuous (lots of steps). Seeing the history come alive with the castle ruins at Corfe was great and plenty of information about the culture and countryside. It is a full day and well worth it.

We had an amazing time on our tour of the Jurassic Coast!! Our guide was very knowledgeable and witty, and our driver did an excellent job taking the coach bus through the narrow streets of Portland, Weymouth, Corfe, Lulworth, and thereabouts. Our group was very enjoyable as well, a great bunch of people to travel for a day with!
