About this activity

This bespoke private tour can be shared for up to 4 persons and whilst we have suggested an itinerary, this can be varied to suit time available and your interests. Pick up and drop off points are also bespoke to your needs. For cruise passengers we collect right from Falmouth Docks and post tour we are also happy to drop off in 'Falmouth Town' for a leisurely walk, shop, coffee, beer, etc en route through the town back to your ship.

Our spacious minivan provides both comfort and great views for your tour.

This tour is designed specifically for those that prefer a scenic drive with stops for photos and shopping and as such is suitable for travellers less mobile as minimal walking is required.

Lizard Peninsula

30 min

We will drive down the spine of the Lizard peninsula to Lizard village, which is the most southerly in the UK, boasting spectacular views. It also has unique gift shops, cafes and of course the world famous Ann's Pasty shop!

St Wynwallows Church was founded in 600 AD and we will pay this a visit too.
Cadgwith Cove

15 min

Just wow! A working fishing village with boats pulled up on the beach. a pub and many thatched roofed cottages. Get your cameras ready and perhaps even buy a freshly made fish sandwich!
Poldhu Cove

15 min

The Marconi Monument sits up high on the cliffs at Mullion overlooking Poldhu Cove and is the site of the first transatlantic radio signal back in 1901. Great history and wonderful views.
Marazion

15 min

Marazion makes the claim to be the oldest town in Cornwall, having a charter granted in 1257. This quaint and ancient village also provides amazing views of St Michael's Mount, the castle in the sea! We will stop here for photo opportunities.
Porthleven Harbour

40 min

Porthleven is a working fishing harbour and is the most southerly 'Port' in Great Britain. The Ship Inn has overlooked the harbour since around 1805 and the harbourside cafes provide a great opportunity to sample a Cornish Cream tea. Gift stores and a craft market provide further opportunities to purchase that item you can't live without!
Cape Cornwall

Passing by

Depending on time we may also visit Mousehole, Sennen Cove and the Cape Cornwall area. We can make this plan on the day or even as we go along!
