What a wonderful adventure. This is the only way to tour Cornwall. Every detail was attended to. Accommodations were wonderful. Daily tours were outstanding, especially Port Isaac and The Eden Project. We would not have ventured there with out David's tour. Just the right size tour group. David and Jim filled us in on details as we journeyed along. The daily Cornish jokes were fun. Lots of walking, but doable.
The walk out to St Michael's Mount was special. Dacey accommodated every ones abilities. This is the only way see Cornwall.

Dacey's Cornish Tour of Cornwall was an…absolutely fabulous dream experience
Dacey's Cornish Tour of Cornwall was an outstanding experience from before the tour even began due to David's availability to answer any questions and assist in any way so that planning was easy. The itinerary presented looked fabulous and I was expecting it to be a fun experience. My expectations were far exceeded each and every day of the tour due to all of the unexpected surprises along the way that were in-the-moment hapenings. David has an excellent ability to accommodate all fitness levels so that each person could enjoy the unique and beautiful sites. He also strikes a perfect balance between being professional and friendly, favoring no one in particular while really attending to everyone individually.
No matter where we went or what we did there were always choices so that it was truly a custom made trip for all. Between David and Jim, the Cornwall native driver and anecdotal historian extraordinaire, I learned loads of interesting and thought provoking information.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who has even only the slightest inclination to see Cornwall. You will be amazed, intrigued and delighted beyond words.

Trip of a lifetime
After falling in love with the TV show "Doc Martin" it was my dream to visit the town the show is filmed. After doing some research I found it is filmed in Port Isaac, a seaside town in Cornwall England. I Google "tour of Port Issac" and found Daceys Tours. After reading the reviews and itinerary and many emails with David, I decided to book my tour.
The trip was beyond what I could have hoped for! Each day was better then the day before! I traveled solo and felt very safe with Dacey's Tours. David and our driver were very accommodating..I felt very spolied! David took care of everything..no need to think and worry; just sit back and enjoy the scenery!

One more check on the bucket list
A year and a half ago, we were on an ocean cruise with a scheduled stop in Falmouth. This was going to be the highlight of the cruise for me; I've always wanted to visit a city in Cornwall. Unfortunately, some storm stirred up the water so violently that the captain of the ship decided to forego that stop. My disappointment became one more thing to put on my bucket list.
Fast forward to January, 2019. We decided to research a tour company that focuses solely on Cornwall. Of course we came across Dacey's Cornish Tours; all the reviews were amazing, the idea of a small tour was really appealing, so we made the commitment. And what an adventure we had!
As so many said, David and Jim really make the tour so much more. David kept the stories coming; the corny Cornish jokes were always a welcome addition in the morning to wake us up! Jim's driving was flawless; so flawless in fact I took more than one nap!
Of course, the real star of the tour is Cornwall itself. The little towns with their winding streets and charming shops. Getting to see one of the "stars" of Doc Martin in Port Isaac. Walking the streets and recognizing the landmarks of the show; the charming harbor and cliffs. From there, the scenery just got better and better. Rolling green hills, sheep and cows grazing and our adventure of seeing Ali Baba at the Minack Theatre all added to the charm.
David gave everyone the freedom to do as they wished and also had plans made at all stops, and a dinner reservation for those who wanted to join in. It's really an ideal way to tour with a group. Small group so everyone got to know everyone. The freedom of choosing to do some activities on our own or staying with the group was ideal.
Anyone reading this and debating about whether to go: GO! Enjoy! Who knows? Maybe we'll be back again with David and Jim. That's how much we LOVED this tour!

Best Trip Ever
We’ve done nearly a dozen European tours and this by far has been the best. David did an outstanding job as tour director as did Jim, our driver. Also we love Doc Martin and I got a picture in Port Isaac with actor John Marques (PC Joe Penhale). We will always remember this tour. We highly recommend this to anyone. Cornwall is beautiful and Dacey’s Tours shows it well.

A Great visit to Cornwall
Absolutely outstanding visit to Cornwall with Dacey Cornish Tours. I learned a lot. Accommodations were excellent. Ample time to absorb the culture of Cornwall and meet the people. Without reservation, I recommend Dacey Cornish Tours.

An Epic Journey Through Cornwall...
Thank you David for guiding, my wife, Lorraine, and I on an epic journey throughout Cornwall, UK. Our first exposure to the region was on the PBS production of “Doc Martin.” Once I learned that the fictitious seaside town of “Port Wenn” was really Port Issac, it was on our bucket list of adventures. We began planning a trip of Cornwall fishing villages that we could tour on our own. Then, one day I did a Google search of the “best escorted tours of Cornwall fishing villages.” The first name, which appeared was for Dacey’s Tours. I carefully read every review, which were stellar 5-Stars. Each one indicated the ease, well-organized, meaningful, magical, and or fabulous food.” We were looking for an escorted tour, where we could pick and choose what excursions suited us best. Guided tours tend to overload the tourist and end up exhausted every day. Less is more...
We couldn’t have been more pleased with each location along the journey. We are foodies and loved every meal, “pastie,” and pub, along the way. Remember, if you’re in Cornwall the clotted cream goes on the scone first before the jam. 😉😉
David is a knowledgeable guide and a sweet man. I miss him greeting us at breakfast each morning with his British “good-mawning,” which almost sounds musical. 🎶🎶
Another reason we selected Dacey’s Cornish Tour was for the value. The accommodations, length of the tour and the many attractions, are well worth the price.
We met a couple in the tour, who have become BFFs and we will be traveling to Cinque Terre, Italy, in the fall. ❤️
If you have any doubts about this friendly tour, where you may just meet lifelong friends, don’t give it another thought. Just book with Dacey’s Cornish Tours, as they fill up pretty fast. Come see for yourself...
