A small, home-grown private touring business covering the whole of Cornwall. Run by a passionate Cornish local tour guide, this touring experience offers a spellbinding combination of iconic Cornish landmarks, majestic and expansive beaches and idyllic fishing villages and harbours. But that’s not the whole story… The guide is driven by wanting to share with visitors some of the harder to access and ‘off the beaten path’ locations that make Cornwall so unique. Neolithic stone circles and underground burial chambers, medieval churches that contain ancient wooden carvings within, engine houses signifying tin mines underneath – and parts of the ‘hidden Cornwall’ that many locals never get to see… The mission on this tour is to ofer something totally unique – vehicle based but with plenty of opportunity to get out and immerse yourselves in the sghts and sounds of the ‘real’ Cornwall. You’ll even have the opportunity to walk little stretches of the Cornish coastal path if you wish! You’ll be led by Conrad – a professional Tour Guide and historian, who will use his skillset as a former teacher to bring the past alive in the places you visit. ✨ St. Michael’s Mount & Marazion. ✨ Penzance & the Mount’s Bay. ✨ Newlyn fishing port. ✨ Mousehole village & harbour. ✨ Merry Maidens Neolithic stone circle. ✨ St. Buriana’s Church & Medieval rood carving. ✨ Land’s End. ✨ Sennen Cove. ✨ The dramatic North Coast & ‘tin mine country’. ✨ Botallack Mine & ‘Crowns’ engine houses. ✨ Zennor village & the mermaid! ✨ Home – or drop off location of your choice. PLUS very many points of interest en route – some visible from vehicle, others just moments from the car. There is so much to take in on this circular, West Cornwall tour. An absorbing jourmey that gives a true flavour of this part of the world in a relatively short space of time. On the day of your private tour, we’ll have a comfortable vehicle waiting outside your accommodation ready to take you on a journey of discovery. There is so much history to impart and Cornwall’s culture and customs will intertwine with tales of piracy, invasions, shipwrecks, battles and witchcraft! Ancient hillforts, Cornish scientific endeavour and stories of heartbreaking disasters will all mingle to give you a meaningful insight into the identity of the Cornish people and Cornwall’s place in the world. Packed with historical context, you’ll enjoy a lively, engaging and fun experience-with so much to see and take in.
