  • Know More about this tour

    This is a private tour for up to 6 people. You will be collected from your hotel or accommodation for the trip to West Cornwall in a luxury Land Rover Discovery. The tour is suitable for all, but an ability to walk a few hundred meters from the car will enhance your experience.

    You will be collected from your hotel at an agreed time for the drive to St Michael's Mount, your guide pointing out places of interest and telling some of the history and stories of Cornwall on the route. Admission is included in your tour price. This former monastery dates back to the 8th century, and has been owned by the same family since 1650! The castle is spectacular, and the sea views are some of the best in the UK.

    A delicious Cornish pastie may be your lunch of choice (not included), before you drive through Penzance to Land's End, where there are great photo opportunities including the chance for your photo next to the famous signpost showing the distance to your home town. There are good views out to the Longships Lighthouse.

    You will then stop at Botallack en route. This is where there is an iconic Cornish landscape of the former mining engine houses which are perched just above the crashing waves. This was one of the locations for the recent BBC TV series Poldark.

    After a short drive to St Ives you'll be free to wander around this pretty town, regularly voted the best UK seaside resort, and maybe visit the Tate gallery or the Hepworth museum. The shops and galleries make this a dream location for your souveniers. You will then be taken back to your hotel.

      Our tour guide James gave us a great introduction to the spectacular scenery and history of West Cornwall. His descriptions of the county's mining history and of the Cornish diaspora are especially interesting. We recommend this tour very highly.

      Truly spectacular place and also a spectacular tour. Of all the beautiful places St. Ives, Penzance-Saint Just, Minack Theatre, Saint Levan, St. Michael's Mount the most memorable for us was Saint Just and the mining story. Would love to go again with James...a great guide. We learned so much. Beautiful scenery...beyond words.
