It was a really well organised trip. Great commentary on board about the area. Unfortunately i felt somewhat sea sick nearly half way into the journey so i can't tell you much sbout the bar/snacks facilities apart from saying it looked like a great place to get a tea/coffee/other beverage/snack area. If i hadn't felt so yuk i would have enjoyed it much more. I would highly recommend it.

John was a very knowledgeable guide and very safe driver. He got us to the sites with amble time to tour. The B&B we stayed at was lovely. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone wishing to see more of the English country in a small group with the stress of driving/navigating completely handled by an experienced guide.

Very happy to see the Jurassic Coast and excellent commentary. The boat was not crowded and plenty of space. Overall excellent experience and will recommend to my friends.
