We were amazed at the ground we covered in exploring magical Cornwall. It was full of diverse experiences yet still offered lots of time to relax and take it all in.

He shared a lot of his knowledge of Cornwall with us and made sure we stopped in all of the right places. I liked having only 14 people on the tour. They became our friends. The hotels were lovely and even David's morning jokes were not too bad. I highly recommend this tour to everyone even if you do not have a Cornish heritage. Jeanette read less

The tour surpassed all our expectations: fantastic tour guide (David), excellent overnight accommodations, clean shuttles and safe drivers (Ed and Steve).
Not only does the tour escort us through a well-planned, relaxing, and organized itinerary, we have plenty of times and freedom to explore the places ourselves. We also enjoy the small group size. We get to break-the-ice quickly, bond easily, and shared these wonderful together! We hope to soon embark on a re-visit journey to Cornwall. read less

Having a small group of 14 was so nice! The itinerary was well planned and relaxing and overnight accommodations were very nice in great locations. It was wonderful visiting Doc Martin and Poldark country first hand traveling through the beauty of Cornwall. One of my favorites was The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a must see! Many, many other sights and experiences fill my memories. Go to Cornwall! Thanks, David! read less

We go from Celtic history with a visit to Tintagel and King Arthur to Modern biodiversity and a “save the planet” philosophy with the Eden Project and everything in between. We stayed in top-notch accommodations and David, as our guide, was congenial and informative. It’s a non- traditional tour in that David provides an informational narrative in the coach then leads us through the various venues. What’s different is that we had time to explore on our own so the timetable is very flexible (except being prompt so the bus can leave on time). The size of the group is no more than 14 so you get to know your traveling companions quite well. Our group was simply delightful - from all over the US and Europe and included varying age groups.
I could go on but see for yourself!
I highly recommend Dacey’s to all. Admittedly, Cornwall wasn’t on my personal map but it certainly is now. We are looking forward to going back for a “revisit tour” one day.
Check it out. I can guarantee the you won’t be disappointed!

Highlights were the train ride to Penzance, discovering many more coves, fishing villages, and coastal beauty, the Tintagel Castle bridge, the Camelot Castle hotel, the Geever Mine Tour and a night at the Bodmin Jail Hotel! As a bonus, a few of us were able to go to a show at the Minack Theatre. David helped with logistics to make this possible!
David, Ed and Steve were so great and flexible! The size of the tour (max 14) is perfect. David has a great personality, excels in customer service, and knows how to leave you longing for Cornwall when you arrive home! read less

Cornwall is really a magical place, I can see why David wants to share it with others. Our tour was wonderful, the small villages, the Tin mine, scenic views, and even a quick re-visit to Port Isaac. Love the fact that there are only 14 people on the tour, we had a great group, and were fortunate with the weather, only 1 rainy day. I'm sure this wasn't my last trip to Cornwall... read less

David does not fail in plotting out the best places to see and stay. This trip has included King Arthur’s Tintagel Castle- amazingly magical and beautiful; the Bodmin Moor to see the megaliths and learn more about the energies of our earth, and a three night stay at the Bodmin Jail Hotel! Wow! The tour of the jail should not be missed! As always ,

With a small, diverse group of tourists that David is somehow able to transform into something akin to family, the delights and magic of Cornwall unfold one amazing view at a time. I’ve travelled with Dacey’s twice, my most recent trip having ended less than a week ago. The relaxed pace and self-tailored nature of these escorted tours, coupled with the obvious love David has for Cornwall and his passion for sharing the gems of this place, makes me say that a trip with Dacey’s is the very best way to experience Cornwall. I unreservedly and highly recommend Dacey’s Cornish Tours for a personal, friendly, fun, and adventuresome tour of beautiful, breathtaking Cornwall. read less

Our guide David who is from Cornwall, planned the perfect trip, seeing all of the best spots and staying in the best lodging. You could customize every day to your liking- hiking, shopping, wandering through the quaint village streets or just lounging away the day in a charming pub. I loved my trip so much that I signed up for David’s Cornwall revisited trip. Sadly, Covid waylaid us, but even then David was kind enough to give me a full refund on my deposit. Such service!!!! 5 stars is not a high enough review for David and Dacey’s Cornish Tours. read less

David Warner is top notch at what he does in setting up an incredible itinerary with 5 star accommodations and then leading the tour with as much or little structure as each individual wishes. He truly loves every corner of Cornwall and has become expert in sharing that with all on his tours.
When Covid hit and he had to cancel all tours in 2020, David kept our spirits up with his monthly news letter (which all who go on tour receive). He came up with the brilliant idea to create a new trip called "Cornwall Revised" to visit places not seen in the original tour, to happen in June 2021 once this pesky virus had blown over. My husband, daughter and I signed up eagerly. Unfortunately, we all know that travel in 2021 was still compromised and so David informed us that he had made the executive decision to delay this tour for another year because he wanted to ensure that his guests could enjoy Cornwall at its best with no restrictions. At that point he offered to return all down payments to anyone who did not wish to wait another year. We were fine with waiting until May, 2022.
Then due to unforseen circumstances during the past year we sadly had to cancel our reservations for the Cornwall Revised Tour and I emailed David on November 28, 2021 to inform him. That night he wrote back with the kindest, most gracious response. I felt so bad about cancelling that I didn't even mention our deposit, but he assured me that it would be returned in full and mailed the very next day.
If everyone ran a business like David Warner we would probably be able to achieve world peace. He is efficient, fair and above all a kind human being who is great at what he does. read less

Because of continued travel restrictions and the safety revolving around this world pandemic, my sister and I reluctantly decided to cancel our scheduled tour for September 2021, booked in the fall of 2020.
From our initial booking to email conversations throughout the past winter until our final decision, David has been supportive, informative and professional in his advice. There were no ifs, and or buts about a refund of our deposit and the cheque arrived within a week.
Our experience was seamless and has given us a profound feeling of gratitude in that regard.
