George • traveled in October, 2025
The strength of the tour lay in the itinerary and, particularly, the skill, personality, and erudition of the driver-guide. His driving on Cornwall and Devon's narrow roads was stellar, as was his navigation around London. He was also sensitive to the diverse needs and interests of his 14 passengers, and took good care of us as clients while conveying the impression that we were friends touring together. That is a particular kind of professionalism: to standardize and experience without making it appear standardized. Within 24 hours he had learned everyone's name and remembered details about their backgrounds. But his particular strength was his broad knowledge of British history, culture, customs, and geography, and his ability to personalize our tour within the standardized packaging that such tours require. I have some knowledge of British history and he very seldom made a mis-step even on small details. Were we to do the tour again, we would probably opt for the hotel-level accommodation as the guest houses varied in quality of accommodation, cleanliness, and service (although never to an unacceptable level). That said, the accommodation locations were admittedly well chosen, always an easy walk away from amenities.

The length of the tour was good for older travellers. The bus was comfortable and more roomy than the Mercedes we had on another small group tous.

Lynn • traveled in May
Overall Very good. Need longer time in St Ives, but much shorter at Lands End. Driver, Olivia was very, very good. Day at Carlyon could have been more structured with a trip to Eden Project and one to Foley including a 1 hour boat trip.

Best tour companies for South West England tours
Our travelers consistently highlight three tour operators that really stand out in customer service. Rabbies has built quite a reputation through their guides, and we hear particularly good things about Amir and Mark - they bring real depth to their tours with solid historical knowledge and engaging stories. British Heritage Tours gets high marks for putting together logical, well-thought-out routes and having guides who pay attention to detail. The only common note of caution is that their vehicles can get a bit packed at peak times. We've also received positive feedback about a driver named Olivia, who impressed one of our TourRadar customers with her skilled navigation through Cornwall's winding roads - though we don't have the specific tour company name in that case. Each of these operators has their own style, with Rabbies standing out for their storytelling approach, British Heritage focusing on carefully planned historical routes and smaller details that make tours run smoothly.

- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter visits to South West England shine through our popular 8-day self-drive tours, which blend royal heritage with historic towns in clever ways. The adventure starts in London where you'll explore Hampton Court Palace's Tudor grounds, then winds through Bath's ancient Roman sites and the mystical stones of Stonehenge. Your journey continues into the Cotswolds, where traditional cream teas provide warmth on crisp winter afternoons, before reaching Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, which feels more intimate with fewer winter visitors. Our travelers tell us they value the freedom to set their own pace during the shorter winter days, with thoughtful stops including Blenheim Palace, where Winston Churchill was born. The final leg brings you to Windsor, where the castle's State Apartments provide an elegant refuge from winter weather and house magnificent royal collections.
- Spring 2026
Your first chance to really explore South West England comes in spring, with small-group tours heading from London to the Isle of Wight. You'll start by going up the 170-meter Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth before catching a ferry across. The highlight for many is Queen Victoria's Osborne House - an Italian-style mansion with golden rooms and carefully maintained gardens. These 3-day trips take in the white chalk formations at the Needles and also the cliffs at St. Catherine's Down. If you've got more time, the 7-day options add Stonehenge, spots to see Dartmoor's wild ponies and also the lovely fishing village of Port Isaac in Cornwall. Our guide Amir gets lots of mentions from TourRadar customers for mixing local insights with great food tips and also keeping the mood up with well-chosen driving music.

- Summer 2026
Summer's perfect for longer explorations into Devon and Cornwall. Most popular tours combine Stonehenge with stops along the Jurassic Coast where you can hunt for fossils. The 3-day trips pack in quite a bit - you'll see Durdle Door's natural arch and spend time in Exeter with its Roman walls, gothic cathedral and also Tudor buildings. On 7-day tours you get to properly explore Dartmoor's open spaces, wander through Boscastle's Elizabethan streets and catch a show at the Minack Theatre right on the cliff edge. What works really well is having two nights in places like Exeter and Falmouth - TourRadar customers tell us it gives them proper time to get to know these old port towns and also find their own favorite spots.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
By autumn the crowds thin out and the landscapes fill with color. Most people start at Stonehenge before heading to Glastonbury to climb the Tor. Then it's on to Bath where you can take it easy with afternoon tea and walks past Georgian buildings. The longer tours head to the Isle of Wight which is lovely and quiet this time of year - our travelers really enjoy watching the sun go down from St. Catherine's Down and exploring Winchester's old mill and also its cathedral. If you go for 7 days you'll get deep into Cornwall to see St. Ives' galleries, the cliffs at Land's End and also St. Michael's Mount rising from the water. The cooler autumn weather makes it much nicer for walking around medieval towns and coastal paths according to our TourRadar customers.
