Top Cornwall Sightseeing Tours

Take a leisurely 2 hour trip with Glenys, a beautifully restored vintage English Taxi, through the breath-taking North Cornish countryside and view the spectacular coastline. Let us worry about the driving whilst you soak up the spectacular scenery as we amble along narrow lanes and through tiny hamlets along the North Cornish coast. Eventually we turn away from the coast and head toward Bodmin Moor. We explore this awesome landscape for a while before stopping in a hidden glade. Here the only sounds are the gurgling of the river, the breeze in the trees and the boiling of the kettle. Freshly made and served in bone China, you can choose from a range of teas supplied by the award winning Westcountry Tea Co, or coffee if you prefer. Fresh Cornish splits and scones are served with butter, a choice of home made preserves and clotted cream. Also on offer is traditional saffron cake and other fresh baked cakes. All locally sourced from independent specialist suppliers.
