Cornwall; a region where enchantment awaits you at every turn. Situated on the southwestern tip of the UK, Cornwall is a land steeped in history and myth, boasting beautiful beaches with pristine towns, ancient castles and fine modern art. Looking back, the legendary King Arthur fought passionately for this rugged far-flung land and it certainly is not difficult to see why. From smugglers to surfers, cream teas to the delicious Cornish pasty; Cornwall casts a spell on every visitor, with its unique charm, unspoiled beauty and the sense of mystery often leaving those that visit feeling as though they have gone back in time. With Dacey’s you can tour cornwall in a unique and relaxed way.

Our Cornwall adventure with David and Jim was truly amazing. What glorious land and seascapes every day to behold.The incredible narration, full of history and current conditions mingled with humor, by both David and Jim made the trip a joy. Having a wonderful group of fellow travelers added to the perfection. Poldark and Doc Martin fans that we are made the locale even better. As others have suggested , good walking shoes are a must

This tour was everything that I had hoped it would be (Sept. 2019). It was a trip down memory lane for me and when I mentioned taking holidays in Delabole, David made a point of talking about the village as we drove through it and its connection with slate. The added touch was having a Cornishman as our driver who had a sense of humour and who was a great story teller. A well organized tour and one that I recommend.

Our Cornwall adventure was outstanding! David made the trip special due to his knowledge of Cornwall, attention to each member of the group, and his fun sense of humor. We appreciated the flexibility given at each site to make the tour our own. One of the highlights was the small fishing village of Port Isaac where we could explore the coast on our own. All accommodations were selected with attention to great locations. Every day was just another perfect day!

I loved Dacey’s Cornish Tour. This tour went to all the places on my bucket list - Port Isaac, St. Michaels Mount, Minack Theatre and more. David, owner and guide, is very organized, knowledgeable and fun. He truly enjoys sharing his love of Cornwall. Jim, our driver, is amazing. You really have to be a skilled driver to navigate the narrow coastal roads! Thank you David and Jim for a wonderful trip. Your love of Cornwall is evident in everything you shared.

I chose this tour as it included the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, St Michaels Mount and Port Isaac - the main attractions I wanted to see in Cornwall/Devon. This was a tour where it was acceptable to do your own thing if you wanted, no sticking rigidly to the tour programme. Accommodation was chosen carefully to give a unique experience on a daily basis. From a castle to a hotel built in the 14th century. David was very caring and made an effort to get to know his customers. Group size was just right. Jim our driver was extremely knowledgable about Cornwall and squeezed our van through some very tight spaces!!

The tour was very well organized and David and Jim provided much information about the area they love so much. With only 14 on the tour and a small van - we were able to get into small fishing villages. The tour hits many of the major sights in Cornwall - My highlight was St Michael’s Mount - buy the pasties and scones at Philps. It was a great trip - make sure you have a good pair of walking shoes!

Incredibly awesome tour! I've never been fond of going on tours because I like to have the flexibility to do what I like to do. This is a tour that offers an organized, but casual, way of seeing the incredible sites of Cornwall. I always felt like I had some control over what I wanted to see & do. David was an enjoyable, knowledgeable guide and Jim was an excellent driver with a wealth of knowledge about the Cornwall area. They are an awesome team as they lead you through the beauty & history of Cornwall. I loved the relaxed friendly atmosphere of this tour. The hotels David picked for us to stay in were absolutely top notch! The rooms were great, the locations were great and, of course, the food was great! I would go on another tour with David & Jim in a heartbeat! Thank you, David & Jim, for the best tour ever!

Cornwall is the star and Dacey knows that. Better yet, he knows Cornwall and hits the spots everyone hopes to see as well as out of the way or lesser known spots that make traveling with him special. He advertises that his isn't a cookie cutter tour. Here is one example that illustrates that: After checking into our hotel above Port Issac, he offered the group a bus ride into town, or a 25 minute downhill walk with him, or a more challenging four mile hike along the Cornwall Coast that would end in Port Issac. We chose the latter and he showed us where to begin, gave us directions to the Coast (it's hard to miss) and told us it would be a challenging two hours. It was and unspeakably beautiful. Just one of many highlights and why we are pleased we chose Dacey. Humor, other tips on where to go or eat, Jim, our excellent driver and raconteur, and the stunning scenery at every turn explain the deserved five star rating. In St.Ives, don't miss the Hepworth Museum and if Dacey says "bring everything you've got" about the trip to the Minack Theater, take him at his word.
