Daceys Cornish ToursReviews 

My husband and I had a great times visiting Cornwall for the first time with Dacey’s Cornish tour.
The tour surpassed all our expectations: fantastic tour guide (David), excellent overnight accommodations, clean shuttles and safe drivers (Ed and Steve).

Not only does the tour escort us through a well-planned, relaxing, and organized itinerary, we have plenty of times and freedom to explore the places ourselves. We also enjoy the small group size. We get to break-the-ice quickly, bond easily, and shared these wonderful together! We hope to soon embark on a re-visit journey to Cornwall.

Everything was perfect! The accommodations were top-notch. All the spots in the tour were stunningly beautiful, and most importantly the tour gives you the freedom on how you want to explore. The small tour size is also nice. Now, about Cornwall, we love everything it has to offer, and we will definitely come back to explore it more!

The Daceys Cornish Tours was the best tour I have ever been on. The accommodations were top rate. They easily accommodated my family of 3 at each hotel. The tour information and the stops were fabulous. I would recommend this tour as it is away from the hustle and bustle of the big city of London. If you like quaint, small tours, this is it.

Wow what a week in beautiful Cornwall - we saw so many stunning places with our 5 star guide - a great big thank you to David for the excellent organisation and uninterrupted good humour! If ever a re-revisited tour will one day be programmed, I'll be there!

We made our trip to Cornwall with Dacey’s a family affair with 7 of us meeting up in London to launch a terrific tour guided by David. Having a small group of 14 was so nice! The itinerary was well planned and relaxing and overnight accommodations were very nice in great locations. It was wonderful visiting Doc Martin and Poldark country first hand traveling through the beauty of Cornwall. One of my favorites was The Lost Gardens of Heligan, a must see! Many, many other sights and experiences fill my memories. Go to Cornwall! Thanks, David!

We just returned from the best week with Dacey’s Cornish Tours. We go from Celtic history with a visit to Tintagel and King Arthur to Modern biodiversity and a “save the planet” philosophy with the Eden Project and everything in between. We stayed in top-notch accommodations and David, as our guide, was congenial and informative. It’s a non- traditional tour in that David provides an informational narrative in the coach then leads us through the various venues. What’s different is that we had time to explore on our own so the timetable is very flexible (except being prompt so the bus can leave on time). The size of the group is no more than 14 so you get to know your traveling companions quite well. Our group was simply delightful - from all over the US and Europe and included varying age groups.
I could go on but see for yourself!
I highly recommend Dacey’s to all. Admittedly, Cornwall wasn’t on my personal map but it certainly is now. We are looking forward to going back for a “revisit tour” one day.
Check it out. I can guarantee the you won’t be disappointed!

I am just back from my 2nd trip to Cornwall, with Daceys Cornish Tours. Cornwall is really a magical place, I can see why David wants to share it with others. Our tour was wonderful, the small villages, the Tin mine, scenic views, and even a quick re-visit to Port Isaac. Love the fact that there are only 14 people on the tour, we had a great group, and were fortunate with the weather, only 1 rainy day. I'm sure this wasn't my last trip to Cornwall...

If you loved Cornwall the first time, I recommend seeing it again with the Dacey’s Cornish Revisited Tour. More beautiful seaside villages, more Cornish history, exciting hotels with a story of their own, and so much more! David really showed us some ‘hidden gems’ that we would not have found on our own. A lovely group of people to share the experiences with. I really didn’t want the week to end. When will the Revisited II Tour start?

My husband and I enjoyed our first tour with Dacey’s so much that we signed up for the ‘revisited’ tour. Both tours were truly lovely in every way. Aside from the charismatic tour director and amiable driver, our fellow travelers were wonderful, as it happened! I highly recommend Dacey’s tours, and I think it’s a good value.

A long time dream to visit Cornwall, and it couldn't have been better!!! Small group with wonderful tour guide David, staying in a different village each night on the sea, and beautiful and historic places to visit between one village and the next. We were able to see so much of Cornwall in our one week there, and also had plenty of time to leisurely explore every place we visited. Just perfect!!!

What a great trip! Wonderful people, David is a great tour coordinator, and lots of varied locations. So glad that I booked with Daceys!

It was a curated experience for which I’m so grateful. I waited a long time for this tour, and it was so well worth it! No regrets - all good memories of a fun week. Couldn’t have been better.

Once again, Dacey's Tours was amazing! David offers a relaxed & informative tour of Cornwall. He takes us to places we probably would never see without his help. The hotels he chooses for his tour group are wonderful. The people in my tour group had all been with David on a previous tour so the atmosphere was casual & friendly. We felt like one big happy family, thanks to David's lead. I would recommend Dacey's Cornwall Tours to anybody who desires to see Cornwall at it's best!

Just finishing up our Daceys Revisited Tour! It has been well worth the wait (caused by pandemic delays). David does not fail in plotting out the best places to see and stay. This trip has included King Arthur’s Tintagel Castle- amazingly magical and beautiful; the Bodmin Moor to see the megaliths and learn more about the energies of our earth, and a three night stay at the Bodmin Jail Hotel! Wow! The tour of the jail should not be missed! As always ,

David has been our top notch leader, and our group has had a great time! I highly encourage one and all to visit Cornwall with Daceys Cornish Tours!

Dacey’s Cornish Tours knows Cornwall, and owner David Warner knows the best way to experience it. With a small, diverse group of tourists that David is somehow able to transform into something akin to family, the delights and magic of Cornwall unfold one amazing view at a time. I’ve travelled with Dacey’s twice, my most recent trip having ended less than a week ago. The relaxed pace and self-tailored nature of these escorted tours, coupled with the obvious love David has for Cornwall and his passion for sharing the gems of this place, makes me say that a trip with Dacey’s is the very best way to experience Cornwall. I unreservedly and highly recommend Dacey’s Cornish Tours for a personal, friendly, fun, and adventuresome tour of beautiful, breathtaking Cornwall.

I loved everything about my trip to Cornwall with Dacey’s tours. Going with a smaller tour group was the way to go. Our guide David who is from Cornwall, planned the perfect trip, seeing all of the best spots and staying in the best lodging. You could customize every day to your liking- hiking, shopping, wandering through the quaint village streets or just lounging away the day in a charming pub. I loved my trip so much that I signed up for David’s Cornwall revisited trip. Sadly, Covid waylaid us, but even then David was kind enough to give me a full refund on my deposit. Such service!!!! 5 stars is not a high enough review for David and Dacey’s Cornish Tours.

Dacey's Cornish Tours;
We have nothing but praise for the way David has handled everything from our first inquiry to 2 years of covid postponements to our finally having to cancel again for personal reasons .He has gone out of his way to be helpful in organising re-bookings with excellent communications and follow up. When we had to cancel again he gave us a refund of our deposit without hesitation. We would highly recommend David and his company and hope we can do a tour with him in the future ,Rod & Irene

My family went on Dacey's Cornish Tours in June, 2019 and had the time of our lives. David Warner is top notch at what he does in setting up an incredible itinerary with 5 star accommodations and then leading the tour with as much or little structure as each individual wishes. He truly loves every corner of Cornwall and has become expert in sharing that with all on his tours.
When Covid hit and he had to cancel all tours in 2020, David kept our spirits up with his monthly news letter (which all who go on tour receive). He came up with the brilliant idea to create a new trip called "Cornwall Revised" to visit places not seen in the original tour, to happen in June 2021 once this pesky virus had blown over. My husband, daughter and I signed up eagerly. Unfortunately, we all know that travel in 2021 was still compromised and so David informed us that he had made the executive decision to delay this tour for another year because he wanted to ensure that his guests could enjoy Cornwall at its best with no restrictions. At that point he offered to return all down payments to anyone who did not wish to wait another year. We were fine with waiting until May, 2022.
Then due to unforseen circumstances during the past year we sadly had to cancel our reservations for the Cornwall Revised Tour and I emailed David on November 28, 2021 to inform him. That night he wrote back with the kindest, most gracious response. I felt so bad about cancelling that I didn't even mention our deposit, but he assured me that it would be returned in full and mailed the very next day.
If everyone ran a business like David Warner we would probably be able to achieve world peace. He is efficient, fair and above all a kind human being who is great at what he does.

In this world where customer service is often less than exemplary, how refreshing it was to deal with David at Daceys Cornish Tours!
Because of continued travel restrictions and the safety revolving around this world pandemic, my sister and I reluctantly decided to cancel our scheduled tour for September 2021, booked in the fall of 2020.
From our initial booking to email conversations throughout the past winter until our final decision, David has been supportive, informative and professional in his advice. There were no ifs, and or buts about a refund of our deposit and the cheque arrived within a week.
Our experience was seamless and has given us a profound feeling of gratitude in that regard.
Thank you, David. You have raised the bar when it comes to customer service and satisfaction!
Sincerely,
Vonna🇨🇦

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.
