I loved the variety of sites David showed us throughout Cornwall. His knowledge was deep and his enthusiasm was contagious for this beautiful party of England! Loved the views and breakfasts at the three hotels/castles where we stayed.

I've wanted to see the beauty of Cornwall for myself since seeing Doc Martin. It was wonderful. David was a wonderful guide and entertaining too. I laughed a lot, I walked a lot, really a lot, saw amazing sites and learned much about all of Cornwall. I'd love to go back again sometime.

What a memorable trip! I have two pieces of advice for my fellow travelers: 1) Put Cornwall near the top of your bucket list! The beauty of the coast and countryside made it reasonable to believe that you were in Camelot. Indeed, we slept at the Camelot Hotel, so believe what you will. The history (so ancient), the culture (food, drink, and music), and the genuine, kind, warm, and proud-to-be Cornish people we met all contributed to the experience. Be prepared for narrow roads and walking paths in a quaint, slumbering part of the UK. 2) Rely on Daceys Cornish Tours to make your visit. Admittedly, it’s the only Cornish tour that I have been on, but it is difficult to imagine a better one. It was selected because it checked my boxes: small group, small vehicle, good reviews. Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable and anecdotal. He’s certainly a people-person who interacted well with all in our group. He was organized, pleasant, considerate, and a perfectly wonderful guy to share a beer with. His humor made the travel time so enjoyable. The drivers were knowledgeable and funny, as well. I wholeheartedly recommend Daceys Cornish Tours.

I'd do it again!! Just returned home from Daceys last tour of the 2024 season and I can't say enough good things about it. I've been on many guided group tours but this one was head and shoulders above the others. David is an excellent guide and knowledgeable about the inside details of Cornwall. He managed to bring a group of strangers together to become friends, without being too intense or invasive, and we even began to look forward to his bad jokes! David and Steven and Ed (the bus drivers) typified the humour, the friendliness and down to earth attitude of the Cornish people. I had wanted to do this tour for a long time, and Daceys Tours did not disappoint.

Touring Cornwall under the expert guidance of David Warner (Dacey) is a joyful experience. His friendliness and enthusiasm are contagious, making the fourteen or fewer people traveling with him, singly or as a couple, a congenial group. The several costal villages on the itinerary are picturesque, and the verdant countryside is peaceful and beautiful.Transportation in a large bus on the first day and on a smaller Mercedes bus thereafter is comfortable, and with local drivers and David’s interesting, witty, commentary, fun as well .The quality of the lodging is excellent, and you are never far from a good restaurant. If a performance is available, a night at the Minack Theatre is special. The amiable atmosphere throughout is genuine. Overall, a touring pleasure.

I am so glad I decided to tour Cornwall with Dacey's Cornish Tours. David was helpful and informative from the moment I made my first enquiry to the time we said farewell. As a solo traveler I appreciated small group size and the balance of group activities and time to explore the different sites at my own pace. David has a wealth of knowledge of Cornwall and I learned a lot. Highlights included walking sections of the Coast Path, exploring Port Isaac and seeing all things Doc Martin, and a beautiful evening at the Minack Theatre complete with a spectacular moonrise. I highly recommend Daceys for anyone wanting to explore Cornwall.

My husband and I are deeply grateful that we were able to join this tour. It was just a wonder every day at discovering the countryside and the villages of Cornwall. David took us to some great highlights and we loved the places that we were able to stay. Pushing ourselves every day was a good thing for us in order to see everything. I was able to take needed breaks to get ready for the next day. David and Ed made us laugh every day and we enjoyed learning about the culture and history of Cornwall.

I agree with all the reviews that the trip is comprehensive, personal, and extremely well done. David’s passion and knowledge of all things Cornish were inexhaustible. My only complaint was that I needed more free time and would have given up a couple little coastal villages for more time elsewhere. And David could slow down when leading walks!
