Dacey's Cornish Tours was a blast! My daughter and I loved the small group comraderie, the varied attractions and the knowledge of our guide. We also loved our interactions with people we met in local pubs or shops. Cornwall is amazing for its beauty, good food, and friendly atmosphere.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour seeing all those places I had heard about. David the tour guide was fun and informative. He allowed us time on our own to explore some places. The hotels were top class including some superb breakfasts.All in all a fabulous time had with a small group of only 10. Thank you David and drivers.

Dacey's Cornish Tours came highly recommended to me from a friend. I was not disappointed. The tour was well-executed. Not your run of the mill tour. Small size group, memorable accommodations, breath-taking scenic locations. David does a wonderful job of mixing history and humor. The weather was perfect! Would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience Cornwall in all its glory.

Dacey’s Cornish Tours delivered an amazing experience. It was well- paced, not rushed, with plenty of time to see and explore each venue. It covered all the highlights of Cornwall—delightful seaside villages, fascinating historic sites, and lavish gardens. David is a delightful and charming guide. He is very knowledgeable, adaptable, funny and genuine. I couldn’t ask for a better experience touring Cornwall. I definitely recommend Dacey’s Cornish Tours to anyone wanting to see beautiful Cornwall County.

This was an amazing trip through Cornwall lead by tour director David Warner. His attention to detail and the sites we visited made this trip memorable. I loved the small group size (max 14) as it led to a more intimate experience. We visited so many villages in Cornwall, each unique, we saw castles, historic sites and were able to wander at our leisure throughout the villages. David gave us guidance but then we had time to wander at our pace. It was a great mix of planned and free time. We stayed at first class hotels and ate lots of wonderful food. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper dive into the UK and especially the Cornwall area. I enjoyed this tour so much I am planning on doing his Tour 2 itinerary in the next year or so.

Dacey's Tours was a truly wonderful experience. David has put together a varied and completely delightful itenerary with very knowledgable and interesting facts and history about Cornwall. Travelling with a small tour is SO much better than climbong in and out of a huge bus with 40 people. You will be gobsmacked by the stunning beauty of the Cornish coastline over and over. If you are lucly enough to attend a performance at the Minack Theatre you will never forget the awesome location, literally carved in a cliff looking out at the ocean. The hotels were very nice (and quirky!) , delicious full breakfast every morning, and a full but not harried tour every day. I think this tour is a bargain for the price and you will love the journey.

My first tour with Dacey's was amazing, I loved it so much that I knew I wanted to go again, David is the best tour guide, so professional and organised and yet friendly and comfortable to be with. Imagine my joy when he offered the Revisited Tour, a chance not only to return to the delights of Cornwall but to visit some other places I wanted to see. I was thrilled to ride the train from Paddington to Penzance, such a beautiful journey, and to see Mousehole, Padstow, Boscastle, places I have only seen on TV, to stay in the Bodmin Jail, an incredible experience, and then the ferry to the Isles of Scilly. It was great being part of a small group as we were like friends and meeting up for dinner before the tour is such a nice touch. Many thanks to our wonderful Cornish driver Steve and his corny jokes, he was brilliant. I cannot say enough to describe how much I have enjoyed this tour, and who knows I may just go again.

We recently went on Dacey's Itinerary 2 6-day tour of Cornwall, which included travel to Penzance on Great Western Railways from London and return from Bodmin. We traveled to various sites in Cornwall including fishing villages, tin mines, legendary King Arthur's castle, and Jamaica Inn. We took advantage of a free morning in Bodmin to ride on the heritage Bodmin-Wenford steam railroad. David Warner is an excellent guide with patience and a great sense of humor. The group size of 14 people was ideal for getting to know fellow travelers.
