What people love about touring Cornwall solo
- 5-Day Devon & Cornwall Small Group from London
Accommodations were good to excellent. Good breakfasts to start the day. Some stops we could have spent less time allowing us to spent more time elsewhere (our driver provided a time head-up and tried adjust the timing accordingly). We were fortunate to have on our tour a friendly and considerate group!
Such a wonderful tour. It was great to travel with a small congenial group to beautiful Cornwall. The tour was well organized, informative, and always fun.
