Contact Dacey

Having enjoyed tour 1 in 2018, we returned to Cornwall in 2024 for tour 2. We especially enjoyed the train travel, varied itineraries, and David's expertise. Our stay at the Bodmin Jail Hotel was a real highlight.

Dacey's Cornish Tours is an excellent way to experience the beauty of Cornwall. David is a fabulous guide and person and makes it all so interesting and fun. The tour is arranged so that you get to choose how much you want to do and experience. I highly recommend seeing Cornwall this way.

Dacey's Cornish Tours is an excellent way to discover Cornwall! David is an excellent tour guide; he gives fascinating information about each place visited and does so in an interesting, often humorous fashion. Each person is able to explore at his/her interest and ability level. I highly recommend Dacey's Cornish Tours if you are thinking about exploring beautiful Cornwall.

The perfect way to see Cornwall The perfect way to see Cornwall! My second outing with Dacey's and just as interesting and enjoyable as the first. Cornwall's winding roads means a small bus, which means a small group of like-minded people - and plenty of time to explore on your own. Guide extraordinaire David makes sure you see a representative sample of Cornwall, not just the quaint parts. Take a Dacey's tour (and pack light) - you will love it!

An Excellent Tour! David was an excellent tour guide! Having grown up in Cornwall, he has first hand knowledge about the history of the area, the people that live there, and the outstanding beauty of the place. He shared interesting information about each place we visited, and we each were able to explore at our own pace. I highly recommend Dacey's Cornish Tours to those of you who wish to visit amazing, beautiful Cornwall. Tami H.

Fantastic Fantastic! well paced tour that lets you decide on what you want to do, or not do. David is easy going, friendly and is well suited for the tours he directs. He has extensive knowledge of Cornwall and all the best sites to see. I highly recommend booking a tour with Dacey' Cornish tours!

I didn't know I needed to visit… I didn't know I needed to visit Cornwall until I saw this trip. Cornwall is a magical place of beauty, history, and culture. 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.

Experience all of Cornwall hassle free and fun This was the first tour My husband and I had ever done and it was perfect. David was fun and funny and the perfect host. 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.

Fabulous Fun Filled Holiday in Cornwall We had a fabulous time on our first visit to Cornwall with David. 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.

Fantastic experience in a great area of England I would consider this to be a great tour. 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!!!

Fantastic Tour with Wonderful People We don’t like tours but this was different. 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

The ideal small tour of Cornwall This tour was such great fun thanks to David, owner and tour guide. He is generous in every way when showing others the glorious side of Cornwall. Beautiful vistas, gardens and historic sites await the visitor. Unique hotels and restaurants are well chosen. Fans of Doc Martin and Poldark won't be disappointed. You are left wanting to return again. Jill J.

The best Cornwall experience Hands down, David is the best tour guide! Funny, knowledgeable, solicitous, dishy (LOL). 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.😉
