Daceys Cornish Tours Reviews 217

We thoroughly enjoyed our one week tour with Dacey Tours, owner & guide David Warner. Being from Cornwall, David is more than just a guide. He embraces Cornwall & all that it has to offer with his knowledge, vivacious personality and delightful sense of humor. If you want a once in a lifetime experience then David & Dacey tours is your ticket !

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!

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.

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.😉

The tour was everything I'd hoped for - and more. 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!

I loved every minute of this stress-free trip. David has thought of everything: unique hotels, lovely breakfasts, beautiful places to visit on the itinerary and the perfect combination of guided and independent exploring, information and hilarious humour! The small group was fantastic, we had so much fun every day and came away from the tour as friends. I highly recommend Dacey's Cornish Tours.

You may not realise you have Cornish Dreams until you do this tour, but Dacey’s makes them all come true. 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.

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.
