David is a wonderful tour guide who is informative and has a great sense of humor. We learned so much about the area and am so glad I visited this part of the world. Thank you Daceys Cornish Tours for a very memorable experience. read less

The drivers were fabulous and the scenery was amazing, we were so happy not to be driving those narrow twisty roads. We had time to explore the way we wanted, hiking, touring, shopping, and eating all the Cornish pasties we could. Delicious! Loved this tour, wish I could do it for the first time all over again. read less

He introduced us to places of both historical value and of scenic beauty in a fun filled, enthusiastic and caring manner. What we particularly liked was the freedom he gave us to choose what to do and where to dine. We highly recommend David and Dacey’s Cornish Tours. read less

The tour guide (David), who has lived in the area, has an obvious love of Cornwall and is anxious to share the beauty with others. The van drivers (Ed and Steve) added to the fun of the drives. Both men live in the area and can share stories (and jokes) about the areas. I loved that David would take you to a place, tell you about the area, give suggestions and then let you go and explore (or not) on your own. My husband and I are hikers so we hiked and walked as much as possible. Others in our group were shoppers and they could spend time doing what they enjoyed. You can make this vacation exactly the type of vacation you want!! The hotels were comfortable, clean and very "European" (don't expect a king sized bed). We loved every place we stayed not only for the atmosphere of the inns, but for the great food!! Here are some things that I loved about the area: the food was delicious, I mean REALLY delicious, the scenery was breath taking, the people (everywhere) were incredibly nice, the hiking, shopping and pubs were plentiful and delightful. I could go on and on. I don't know how I lucked upon this tour, but I feel like I hit the jackpot when we signed up for it. I saw an area of England that is not heavily touristy but some of the most beautiful countryside I have ever experienced. Thank you David for offering this tour!!! read less

We didn’t want to drive to and through Cornwall with its narrow roads and having to drive on the wrong side of the road! Accidentally we searched for what looked like the best Cornwall tour and found Daceys on line. We really lucked out. It was, simply, the best tour we could have taken. Wonderful tour mates and ,unquestionably the best tour guide we could have had in David Warner. He is not only very knowledgeable but has a great sense of humor which made this more like going on a tour with a bunch of old friends. We, quite simply ,cannot rate this tour highly enough with the five stars permitted. We would give David and Daceys one hundred stars if we could. Anyone who reads this review and has any questions, please feel free to contact us. We would love to tell you about this wonderful experience! Lisle Zehner and Colleen Russo read less

After being on many guided tours with 40 people cramped in a bus and having to unpack & pack everyday, this was a welcome change. We stayed in each Cornwall hotel for 2 nights. David gave us more time to explore each site on our own. The small group setting promoted deeper conversations, created a strong camaraderie that by the end of the tour, you feel like leaving your family. I joined this tour because it is the only one that will take you inside the Mount of St. Michael. This former monastery on an island linked to the town of Marazion by a causeway is a site that should be on people's bucket list. Another site that I didn't expect to visit was the Lanhydrock House with its stunning gardens. I love the history of country estates. The first time I saw the coastline of Tintagel, my heart skipped a beat, time stopped, and I was transported to a different century. I could stand on the top of those cliffs for hours. All the coastal towns we visited afterwards were all postcard-perfect, picturesque villages with so much history. I highly recommend this tour for everyone. Just make sure to bring hiking boots, your stamina and determination to climb those slopes.😉 read less

As a veteran of many organized tours, I found that David provides a fun and informative experience, while also providing time for exploration on one's own. His friendly and low-key approach creates a unique experience that I greatly enjoyed, so much that I've signed up for Itinerary 2 next spring. Thank you, David! read less

Such a fun trip with a smaller than the usual tour group of people, the scenery and excursions are amazing. From the atmospheric Tintagel to the soft beaches of St Ives, plus the wonderful gardens at Heligan, Eden and Lanhydrock. Enjoy comfortable hotels with great breakfasts and watch out for the fun fact and joke of the day 😀. Highly recommended. read less

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. read less

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. read less
