I knew when I arrived in Cornwall, that I would come back next year. The first impression was so overwhelming for me, that I knew immediately that once would not be enough. The tour was outstanding. It seemed there were new impressions with every turn of the road. It was obvious that David, Harry and Tim put their heart and soul in these tours. Their enthusiasm is catching. Since they are locals, the are extemely knowledgeable and have a lot of pride for their part of the country. They were very helpful with luggage, etc. and even offered a hand or an arm for those of us who are older. All the places we visited were phantastic, the accomodations were quaint, clean and had super-friendly staff. There are really only good thing to say about this tour and I would urge everyone to join David, Harry and Tim at least once (if not twice). It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience and you will leave England with Cornwall in your blood.

To appreciate the beauty of Cornwall--England’s hidden gem, the perfect way is with Dacey’s Cornish Tours. Each day of the tour you experience a new adventure—walking the grassy fields and narrow cobble stone streets in Port Isaac, hiking up St. Michaels Mount with spectacular views for miles, climbing the steep steps at the Minack Theatre with the waves crashing below, walking the sandy beaches. At the end of each day, we could recharge at the lovely hotels, all with outstanding sunset views. Being from Cornwall, the tour guides, David, Harry & Tim shared their local knowledge, making the trip much more personal. This is truly a magical place to visit.

Dacey's Cornish Tours is amazing. David's competent driver, Tim, tour guide, Harry, and David are Cornwall natives who enjoy sharing their knowledge and love of Cornwall. We saw stunning Cornwall ranging from the lush countryside dotted with yellow gorse and fields of grape seed that look like daffodils, to the coastal towns with their panoramic views of the ocean. The coastal town of Port Isaac, the setting for the "Doc Martin" television series, is a beauty with its narrow streets and quaint cottages bordering its harbor. St. Ives boasts lovely sand beaches. Land's End reveals the rugged power of nature with its massive granite coastline, billowing winds, and the deep blue sea. Our tour included seeing the glory of St. Michael's Mount, the lush gardens at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the unique Eden Project, the wonder of the Minack Theater, and the beauty of Lanhydrock. We enjoyed staying in beautiful hotels with lovely gardens and delicious food. David's excellent planning gave us the opportunity to enjoy the tour and relax in the beauty of Cornwall. Thank-you David, Harry, and Tim for the opportunity to enjoy this fascinating part of England. We enjoyed making new friends with our tour group and talking with the local people. Delightful! It met our expectations and much, much more.

Vi kan anbefale denne turen til Cornwall. Det var vår første tur til denne delen av England, og forventingene ble absolutt innfridd. David tok oss med til mange flotte, interessante steder, og vi fikk også tid til å se oss rundt på egen hånd. Spesielt var the Minack theatre vel verdt et besøk. Med sjøen som bakteppe for forestillingen ble det en unik opplevelse den kvelden. Gruppen var passe stor, slik at det var lett å bli kjent med de andre. Alle hotellene var veldig fine, med komfortable rom. David, Harry og Tim var meget hyggelige bekjentskaper. Torill og Aase Norge

This tour is ideal for people who want to experience the full range of what Cornwall has to offer. The small comfortable bus can take you where tour coaches cannot go and the knowledgeable guides ensure that you appreciate fully what you are experiencing. Cornwall is very beautiful and has a diverse range of attractions. Going with Daceys Cornish Tours means your time isn't wasted negotiating the tricky roads, looking for parking spots or accommodation or queuing to gain entrance to any of the attractions. There is plenty of flexibility built into the tour so you can tackle as much or as little of the activity as you want. This means it is suitable for the very fit and active, but also for those with some mobility issues. Being a small group of no more than 14, there is plenty of personal attention and a chance to get to know other travellers. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in this fascinating part of the United Kingdom. Sincere thanks to David, Tim and Harry for making our tour so special.

I want to go again and maybe never leave. This tour is well thought out - a bit of village life, castle life, manor life, and city life, coastal views and a dip in the ocean, gardens, green fields and hedge rows, mining ruins, theater, ecological site, churches and cathedrals, shopping ( if that is your thing - not mine), ancient stone circle of 19 dancing maidens, unique hotels, blackberry picking (Sept. tour) and so much more including Doc Martin's Port Isaac and sea glass (my thing). A small, congenial group of travelers and very personable, knowledgeable tour guides and bus driver added to a pleasurable experience and wonderful memories.

I want to go back!! I had been to Cornwall twice before, but this tour took us to more interesting places. We stayed in sparkling, charming hotels that provided hearty breakfasts prior to our setting out on exciting adventures for each day. PERSONNEL: Tim, the driver and main narrator, is very knowledgeable, as is Harry, who helped many of us with our luggage and other things. And, it is David who puts everything together and keeps things rolling. I highly recommend this tour!

Our September 2014 tour with Daceys Cornish Tours surpassed all our expectations. Highly recommended for Doc Martin lovers or those who want a slower paced, smaller trip whcih focuses on the beautiful Cornish coastline and the picturesque seaside villages like Port Isaac, St Ives, Marazion and Fowey. We liked the fact that you actually stay in a couple of the seaside towns rather than the larger cities. The tour allows a generous amount of time to explore St Michaels Mount, Lands End and the Minack Theatre, the Eden Project and the wonderful Lanhydrock Estate, as well as plenty of free time to explore on your own. Accommodation is first class and the tour operators are three Cornishmen who go out of their way to make sure you enjoy every aspect of the trip. We felt very well looked after with more personalised care than offered by the larger tours, due to the fact that there are only 14 rather than 40 on each tour. Everyone mixes well, making it a great social experience. Great value for money.
