Well-organized, small group, tour leader both knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. You'll see the full range of Cornwall geography, history and culture -- gorgeous coastlines, charming small towns, and lovely scenery -- and have a great time! Flexibility on the activities -- it's your tour! Small hotels provide breakfast, other meals on your own, lots of walking but also plenty of time to just enjoy.

My family recently had the pleasure of going on a private tour arranged by Daceys. We were able work with our tour guide, David, for many months leading up to the trip. He went above and beyond with his pre-trip research and planning, ensuring that we were able to visit everything that was important to us (including family sites), as well as other points of interest that are not on the regular itineraries (and points of interest that are on the regular stops). He did a wonderful job of customizing our trip to what we really wanted, and I could not be me thankful for his efforts. And the flexibility - thank you, David, for making it possible to check another item off my list (Cheesewring).

We enjoyed a wonderful experience with David on his Cornwall Itinerary 1. His knowledge of the area, relaxed approach, and sense of humor made him an excellent guide. Since we usually travel independently, we really enjoyed the small size of the tour group and the flexibility he provided that allowed us to enjoy each stop in our own way after being provided with an introduction to each location prior to arrival. He was also very helpful with providing answers to our questions prior to the trip. The itinerary was well planned and provided a good sense of the history, culture, and beauty of Cornwall.

This was my first visit to Cornwall and it will not be my last. David is the perfect tour guide with a great knowledge of Cornwall and he truly wants to share the magic this place has to offer. You will see spectacular coastline views, incredible gardens and quaint villages. I really like the flexibility of this tour with enough time to explore on your own. He has a great sense of humor and was very quick to answer any of my pretrip questions. I am so glad I chose Daceys Cornish Tours!

This tour and company is fantastic! The magic of the quiet fishing villages, breathtaking coastal and ocean views, the walks and hikes, mix of structure and flexibility and small tour size make for a truly relaxing and memorable vacation. Book today! Cornwall awaits!

We thoroughly enjoyed every part of the Cornwall Tour. Well organized /professional tour, great itinerary with a lot of fun and laughs built in. Would recommend to anyone.

Just returned from one of the best tours that I’ve ever been on!! I usually do not sign up for tours but rather plan itineraries through research and reading travel books. As a matter of fact, my wife and I looked into going to Cornwall back in 2017 and thought of seeing the area for a day or two. We didn’t make it to Cornwall back then and am glad that we didn’t. I would have missed out on so much by not joining Dacey's tour!! We heard about Dacey’s Cornish Tours from our friends and decided to join them on Tour Itinerary 2. Dacey’s Cornish Tours is the perfect tour for Cornwall!! The tour itinerary is well thought out and provides flexibility in activities. I came to see the Cornish landscape and historic sites, which were all beautiful and it didn’t matter whether it was rainy or sunny!! My expectations were met, but what I didn’t expect was the wonderful tour itself! With its small group size, we were all able to closely interact with each other and especially with David Warner (our tour guide) and learned so much of Cornwall’s history that I would not have realized if I had gone on my own! David is a wealth of knowledge on Cornwall’s history and culture. He is very personable, and I can see his love for Cornwall! You can ask him any question about Cornwall, and he has an answer plus a lot more insights! I developed an appreciation for the Cornish culture and people who are very polite and friendly. I can see why one would want to visit Cornwall but need to stay longer to take in all of its beauty!! David said to me before the trip that once you’ve taken the first tour that you will want to take the second tour!! He is absolutely right!! I can’t wait to take the next tour!!

We had the pleasure to join David (aka “Dacey”) Warner for his Cornwall Itinerary 2 tour June 8 – 14, 2025. From the first night group dinner in London to the end of the tour in Bodmin, it was nothing but fun. The initial train ride took us through the beautiful countryside of Cornwall to Penzance in its southern tip. Although David allowed us completely free rein to do as much of the tour we wanted or go off on our own, his optional excursions were not to be missed: the ferry to the island of St. Mary’s in the Isles of Scilly and the island itself; the Geevor Tin Mine (we were skeptical of this one but it turned out to be a fascinating tour with a terrific guide); the Bodmin Jail with its amazing stories and recreations of what transpired there so many years ago (we actually stayed in a “jail cell” in the luxurious Bodmin Jail Hotel!); the 500 year old Prideaux House (site of numerous movies and TV series familiar to us all); the remarkable stone arrangements in Bodmin Moor; and “creamed tea” (not at all what you think it is!) at the famous Jamaica Inn. It was the trip of a lifetime with a tour guide (David) who was engaging, full of personality with a fantastic sense of humor, and saw to it that every need was met and clearly, having grown up there, knew everything about Cornwall and happily answered all of our questions. We highly recommend this entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable tour without hesitation: you simply do not want to miss it!
