Its amazing , worth to spend with the kids. A very nice tour guide and driver Paul. He got a lot of information and knowledge as well as showing a nice shoots of these special places.
We've had a gem of ride. The guide really made our day. Very knowledgeable, quite funny and just as kind as can be. We thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of the different towns and sites and Paul gave just the right amount of information to put things into perspective without overloading our tiny brains. Couldn't have asked for a better guide or a better trip. Highly recommended.
Paul was an amazing driver/guide, very knowledgeable, funny and kind. Great views and great experience.
Paul was a fantastic tour operator. He was knowledgeable, funny and helpful. We enjoyed our day trip along the Jurassic Coast.
We had a fantastic tour w Paul. He was prompt, informative, & funny! The kids really enjoyed him. It’s a very full day, wear comfy shoes & be prepared to swim. The hike to and from Durdle Door is steep but so worth it!! This was a highlight of our trip so far!
Even though we had the worst weather possible I loved every minute of this tour! The landscape and the villages were so beautiful and Paul was the best tour guide ever! 100% recommended.
Tour was brilliant, Paul was absolutely fab and so kind. Lots of walking but he kept us informed of where to go and how long things would take to do. The sites we visited were stunning, we were especially blessed with fantastic weather! I'd absolutely recommend this tour, thanks again Paul!
Great tour! Paul was an excellent guide! Good mix of time spent in and out of the van. The trip was a great value. I would highly recommend this tour!
The Jurassic Coast tour offers expert commentary on the history of the region along with beautiful views everywhere you look. Paul was an accommodating guide and driver ensuring we not only informed but also well cared for. He was a delight to spend our day with.
It was an amazing trip. The coach was on time and comfortable. The guide and driver, Paul Knight, was knowledgeable, thoughtful, offered information at the right time and with a good tempo. The 3 stops were well calibrated in terms of time allowed at the destination, availability of relaxation and amenities. The peak of the day was, of course, Durdle Door - incredible view. Long walk, but definitely worth the effort. Luckily we had a disciplined group, so there were no delays or unpleasantness.
