Why Cornwall?
Cornwall is a land of breathtaking contrasts, where rugged cliffs meet golden beaches, and charming villages sit alongside dramatic moorland landscapes. From world-class surf and hidden coves to historic landmarks and renowned food and wine experiences, Cornwall offers something for every traveler. Its unique light, vibrant culture, and unspoiled natural beauty make it the perfect destination for relaxation, adventure, and unforgettable memories.
What types of tours do we offer?
Whatever your pace, we tailor each tour to match your ideal level of activity so you can enjoy Cornwall your way.
Relax in the comfort of our premium vehicles as you take in dramatic coastlines, elegant seaside villages, and timeless landscapes, or if you’re eager to lace up your boots for scenic hikes, allow us to guide you on exclusive coastal walks and tailor-made outdoor experiences.
For those who love a bit of adventure, we also offer activities like surfing Cornwall’s famous waves, to kayaking its hidden coves. Or if you're looking for something different, we also curate food and wine tours, and restorative yoga experiences. Or perhaps you might prefer an immersive tour exploring the iconic Cornish filming locations of beloved TV series, including Poldark and Doc Martin.
If there's simply too many good options and you would prefer maximum flexibility to see where the day will take you, we offer high-end van-and-driver hire for a completely bespoke, spontaneous experience.

Should I try to drive in Cornwall?
For most overseas visitors, we strongly recommend not driving in Cornwall. Roads here are often very narrow, two-way lanes with no center line, steep hedgerows, and frequent blind corners. Passing places are common and can feel stressful if you’re not used to them. Add to that right-hand-drive vehicles, driving on the left, limited parking, and unpredictable farm traffic, and even confident drivers can find it challenging. A guided tour or private transfer allows you to relax and enjoy Cornwall’s scenery without the pressure of navigating unfamiliar roads. You’ll see more, stress less, and experience the region at a far more enjoyable pace.
Where should we stay in Cornwall?
Where you stay in Cornwall really depends on the areas you want to explore. Driving in Cornwall often takes much longer than GPS or online maps suggest. The region’s roads are famously narrow, winding, and full of tight bends, with frequent single-track sections and passing places. Even short distances can take significantly more time than expected, especially if you encounter oncoming traffic, slow-moving farm vehicles, or parked cars in villages. GPS estimates rarely account for these slow sections, so to avoid spending a large portion of your trip in the van, careful consideration needs to be given to where you spend the night. Let us help you plan your Cornwall adventure, ensuring a seamless, stress-free trip that hits all the highlights without the worry of navigation or timing.
How long should we spend in Cornwall?
The length of your stay really depends on how far you want to explore Cornwall. If you’re focusing on one region, such as West Cornwall for Poldark filming locations or the southern beaches, a 3–4 day trip can cover the highlights. For those staying further east, it’s possible to enjoy a 2–3 day “taste of Cornwall” tour, seeing key sights, coastal villages, and attractions without venturing too far into the far west. But if you want to explore multiple areas, including moorlands, harbors, and both north and south coasts, you’ll need at least a week to travel at a relaxed pace and fully enjoy the scenery, villages, and activities without feeling rushed.
