This is the second time we've done this tour--this time with friends--and it was every bit as good or better than the first time. We were able to do different things at the same stops which expanded our experience. Our guide, June, was wonderful! She was very informative and surprised us with a stop at Port Issac, which we didn't do the first time. Our van mates were all compatible and we left each other as friends at the end of the tour. I can't recommend this tour enough for a good taste of Devon and Cornwall.

This tour is delivered by Rabbies. Great experience in this whistle stop tour. HIghlights for me were the Minack Theatre in Porthcurno, and St. Ives. Wish I could have spent more time in Falmouth. A great introduction to the southwest of England. Excellent driver, commentary, and coach. Pack light, though. It helps getting around!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our tour guide Hugh from Rabbie's was excellent. He was great about providing the history, enthusiastic about the stories he told, and seemed to care a lot about making sure everyone was enjoying themselves. The timing of this tour in October was also perfect. We had such nice weather and the places we visited were not very busy at least compared to summer. I certainly recommend, this tour, Rabbie's, and Hugh.

Very well planned and organized trip! Tony, our driver / tour guide, was a wealth of information, stories, personality and could even navigate the 2-lane country roads without incident -- my hats off to you! In Tony's words, this trip is a tasting menu of the incredible history of Devon and Cornwall. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, and definitely recommend this tour for all who are interested in experiencing southwest England.

Tour was amazing. We truly enjoyed the history and stories that Dave and Nick shared with us. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout the tour. We would highly recommend this tour. Dave and Nick made it fun and interesting. Small group size just adds to the experience.

This trip was wonderful! We pack a lot of territory into five days and our very skilled driver, Geoff /Jeff, made it interesting and fun, and taught us so much history. While it was basically a taste of Devon and Cornwall I'm not sure I would have been able to see this part of England any other way so a little bit was so much better than nothing. We stayed in hotels and our accommodations were good. I would absolutely do a longer trip just like this.

Fantastic tour Rabbies UK thanks to Hugh our driver and guide. Small group of 14 with 3 solo travellers which I was one. I chose B and B which was comfortable and well located. Hugh was excellent so knowledgeable we all had a great fun holiday thanks to him, with a great group as well, made friends for life

We just loved this tour....our guide Jamie and his trainee John, could not have been more professional, knowledgable, and friendly. Great guys ! The guest houses we stayed at were just the type places we'd hoped for. All of the locations we visited and toured, were well chosen and our guides brought their respective histories to life before and after each visit. Along with pointers about local cuisine, the lore and fun of the trip made it the high light of our month long stay in Europe. We highly recommend this trip.....also, we met some really good folks on this trip from the land down under, and the land nearby ! Great trip !

We certainly enjoyed this tour with our guide/driver Kevin. He was very well organized and handed us a package when we boarded the bus with brochures and maps for all the places we were to visit. Our mini bus 16 people was brand new and very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed all of the places we visited especially Winchester, Boscastle, Tintagel home of King Arthur!!, the beautiful Minack Theatre. We would have preferred to stay at Boscastle or Glastonbury rather than Exeter and would have like to have visited St Michael's Mount instead of viewing it from a distance. That aside we had a wonderful time with very good B and B accommodation in Exeter and Falmouth. We enjoyed driving over the moors at Dartmoor and we saw the prison and the ponies. I would definitely recommend this tour. We have some lovely memories.

The itinerary was not exactly as described - there was no sighting of the Durdle Door as promised and the visit to the island of St. Michaels Mount was actually a brief photo stop at the beach to see the island from a distance was told by the local tour guide it isn't actually part of the itinerary. Apart from that I thought the tour was great value and it certainly is a beautiful part of England to visit. I enjoyed the small size of the group and the flexibility with the time schedule. The staff from Rabbies made the trip fun and I would not hesitate to use Rabbies Trailblazers again.

Fantastic tour, size of tour just right, and the driver/tour guide Andy you are a legend
Review by: Sue, July 2017
This was a great tour and it still ran even though I was the only passenger. Kevin was the driver/ guide who had an amazing knowledge of the areas we visited and was exceptional in the way he looked after me - nothing was too much trouble. I appreciated being left to explore places on my own but Kevin always ensured I knew my way back to the bus before he left me. I was also impressed that he went out of his way to locate Gluten Free Cafes for me. The accommodation in the hotels was very good especially Jury's Inn in Exeter.

If you want a taste of the southwest of England, this is the tour for you! This was my 1st time trying out a multi-day group trip, and I was very pleased with it! Our driver Kevin was friendly and made the trip even more enjoyable: In this tour, you get to explore on your own, but also get driven from place to place and told about each town/ site of interest before going off on your own, so a nice mix: My favorite day was when we went to Boscastle, a small fishing village by the Atlantic with amazing cliffside views, and Tintagel castle, the supposed birthplace of King Arthur! The weather was great for Springtime in England, and all the other people on the tour were nice: All in all, definitely a worthwhile tour! Thank you Viator and Rabbies! Definitely using them again for future trips!

Absolutely the best tour ever. Out driver, tour guide was very knowledgable and entertaining. We liked how all the history was told to us on the mini bus before we arrived at the location and when we arrived we were on our own. NO-umbrella guide! Just the best!

Went on this tour in early October. Andy, our guide, was outstanding. He was very friendly, humorous and informative. I was travelling by myself but got to know everyone and enjoyed their company. The scenery was beautiful. Accommodation was great. The tour was better than I had envisioned. I highly recommend this tour.

Review by: csolberg, October 2016
We were allocated good B and B accommodation, especially in Falmouth. Locations provided easy access for dining and drinking. The areas visited gave a good overview of what was available in the region. The transportation was good and the driver/guide was outstanding. Barney was an entertaining and resourceful character who made the trip a memorable one.
