Isle of Man är genomsyrad av vikingatida inkräktares historia och välsignad med ett fängslande landskap av glittrande hav och böljande kullar, och är unik bland Storbritanniens öar. Hem till Manx katter, de ikoniska TT raser och världens äldsta kontinuerliga parlamentet, kommer du att resa in i hjärtat av ett land fyllt med gamla myter och legender i sällskap med Nigel, en man som kom hit för trettio år sedan, gifte sig med en Manx flicka och vägrade att lämna. Denna tur kan ha upp till 14 passagerare.

En av de finaste medeltida slott på de brittiska öarna, byggd av de nordiska kungarna och belägras av Robert Bruce.
Hem till Manx-katter och Loghtan-får, Cregneash är ett levande museum som perfekt illustrerar livet för torparna och jordbrukarna som bodde och arbetade på ön under 1800- och början av 1900-talet.
De atmosfäriska ruinerna från Peel-slottet sträcker sig över nästan tusen år av historia, och härstammar från Viking invaderare på 1100-talet.

Nigel took me as a solo traveler on 2 different day tours --- one to the South and second to the North of the Isle of Man. He customized my tour to suit my desire to focus on photography and scenic coastal lookouts, beaches, glens, castles and more. I learned a tremendous amount from Nigel about the Isle of Man --- he's very knowledgable, funny, and delightful to be with. I can't recommend Albany tours high enough. Nikki took me also on a highlands walk above the town of Peel. Nigel was prompt, helpful and full of ideas. Really a pleasurable experience in the Isle of Man with Nigel and Nikki of Albany Tours!
Nigel is a treasure on the Isle of Mann, with so many years of personal experience with the local history that we heard the most wonderful stories! Nigel picked us up at our hotel on the Loch Promenade. We had such a wonderful private tour, with plenty of time to explore each place. We saw the amazing Castle Rushen, Cregneash Farm village with locals telling us how life used to be and where we had delicious tea and scones and we saw the 4-horned Manx Loagthan sheep, then we saw seals by the island, next the town of Peel where we enjoyed trying Queenies & Davison’s ice cream, delicious!, and then we went to Tynwald where Nigel explained the annual parliament and celebration. Thank you Nigel for sharing your stories, life, and beautiful island with us!

A great day with an informative guide. We were well taken care of including treats every time we got back in the van. Our guide did the tour at Castle Rushen and gave us such great history and info. Then is was on the National Folk Museum at Cregneash where we were treated to scones and tea. After they gave us time at Peel Beach where we tried Queenies and had time to wander to shops and on the sand. Lastly we stopped at Tynwald Hill to learn about the reading of the summary of laws that happens each year. We had a wonderful day and would very much recommend this tour!
RE: Albany Tea and Tours Albany House 9,Albany Road Peel. Isle of Man. Reference Number 1217617819 Confirmation Number 1602174623 Book at your own risk. If you must book a shore excursion, be sure to do so with the Cruise line. Others wise you might get clipped. We were taken for $460.00 US. ($230.00 each) (VISA card Receipt) On June 10, 2025, we approached The Isle of Man Harbor, our Capt. made an announcement over the ships public address system. He stated since his primary responsibility is for the safety and well being of passengers and crew, the higher than normal winds and rough seas posed a risk where no tenders would be launched. In the same announcement he stated that all shore excursions booked through the cruise line would be reimbursed 100%. Within less than an hour of departing Isle of Man, we received an email from our tour operator. (Albany Tea and Tours Albany House) Because the ships arrival was cancelled beyond our control he directed us to contact our insurance company for any refund. We were shocked to learn they simply kept the $460.00 with no refund offer. They advertise tour capacities from 1 to 14 people. How many others were conveniently taken? Upon returning home we filed a refund request through Tripadvisor whose website said expect a response within 7 days. That was 30 days ago. Despite having a signed letter on Holland America letterhead which was personally signed by the Capt. We have not heard from either Tripadvisor or the tour operator. Where I come from taking people’s money and ignoring them is a miserable way to do business.
Well good afternoon to all my future passengers, As you can see this client had a very upsetting experience will the Cruise liner on the 10th of June 2025, which the ship did not stop as a port of call in the Isle of Man. Now the weather condition was fair and myself, the port & cruise teams in Isle of Man were awaiting the arrival of the ship at 07.00am. At this time we had a luxury yacht in the bay (25 million so not small) was in the anchoring area of the Cruise ship so the captain asked if it could be moved. On this request the yacht was informed but in the middle of serving breakfast so it was not going to happen straight away but agreed to move. The Captain of my clients ship was so impatient he decided that he was not going to wait and moved on back out to sea. To our astonishment the cruise ship moved on! Now first of all the Cruise ship could have tendered in that day the weather was not the issue and I have that backup by the Isle of Man teams. On booking with my Company it does state that if your booking is cancelled less that 24 hours there is no refund due to the short notice. On this account it was less than 2 hours and I was already at the port to greet all my clients. I advise all my clients to take out travel insurance to cover any problems with shore excursions and I must say this does not happen very often in the Isle of Man. The comment the client made in his review is incorrect as you can see I responded to the client on my return home and also spoke to him on his cell phone. I have covered the letter into my comment here: From: Nigel Sperring | Albany Tours Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2025 2:14 PM (I have removed their email address) Subject: Albany Tours Isle of Man Cruise ship cancellation 10/06/2025 Good Afternoon Burk, Ok I will send you a full Invoice of you booking and the Viator details of my terms and Conditions about refunds. This is always a difficult time when this happens it has only happened once before and The clients insurance company has complied and refunded so hopefully so will yours. You will also need a letter from the ship even if you did not book with them saying the Cruise ship did not arrive in Douglas and you were only given 2 hours notice before you tour started. Giving you these details get your refund procced quicker by you travel insurance company, I will send all the details through in the next couple of days. Regards Nigel As you can see it was 2.14pm on the same day. I had other clients that were well aware of the problem and all agreed that they would take it up with their insurance company and I have no issues or feedback from them as it is in my Terms & Conditions. Unfortunately, I can’t just refund everything as I have to pay for the staff wages, Heritage sites entry, which I have to book in advance, refreshments that I had pre ordered. Now this is a very upsetting time for us all, the client for not getting his tour and myself for receiving a 1 star rating but he quite rightly he only has gone by the Captain's response and this is mine. As you can see in all of my other rating's this one is a one off and all I can say is I am very sorry I did not have the opportunity to show you are beautiful Island but if you ever visit us again it all on me! Regards Nigel
Fantastic experience. Nigel was knowledgeable and fun. Saw so much of the area and local history and culture. Particularly enjoyed the stories and village tour complete with scones and tea. Delicious food and lovely companionship. The castle tour was quite a window in history. The drive through the countryside was beautiful. The time flew by. Highly recommend.
Covered the southern half of man, areas that we would not have seen on a large tour. Guys were amazingly well-versed because they all live there. Chose stops with care i’m making each experience very meaningful
Thank you for taking a tour with me and my team on the wonderful Isle of Man, we had a great and very nice scones,Jam and cream safe sailing home.
Nigel, Graham and Trevor takes you on a tour of the Isle of Man that is not to be compared with any other. The knowledge and experience that these guys have is beyond price. Highly recommend anyone thinking of traveling to the Isle of Man to book through Nigel. Trevor is knowledgeable and eloquent about his subject. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and the locations we visited. Go Manx…
Thank you for taking a tour with myself and my team we all enjoyed the day and the scones Jam and cream top it all. Safe cruising and thank you again.
Nigel knows the Isle of Man and many people on it. He loves his island and loves to share it with his guests. He took us to a lovely spot for tea and scones. What a treat!
Thank you for taking a tour with me here on the Island we had a lovely day and I am so glad you enjoyed the experience. Safe trip home.
Spent a wonderful day touring the Isle of Man with Nigel. He picked us up from our hotel and we started with a viking castle, then off to a historic croft village followed by morning tea at the islands end. Then over the mountains to the seaside town of Peel driving back to the city of Douglas on the TT motor bike race track. Nigel was a great companion and font of Manx knowledge. I would highly recommend the Southern Manxland Tour!
