Jane was a wonderful guide and was ready to help me find some of the gravestones, churches and towns of where my dad’s paternal side had lived. My husband and I enjoyed learning about the island past and present as well.

Thank you so much for the lovely reveiw, it was great going out exploring and even as a guide I learn from my visitors new and interesting snippits, espcially with family history

Our tour guide, Jane, was very sweet and knowledgeable. Before getting to the Isle of Man, she had requested that we send the names of our Manx ancestors. When she picked us up for our tour, she had information gathered about those ancestors (as much as she could) and took us to a couple of cemeteries where they may have been buried. She also took us along the streets of Peel where they had lived.
When we went to the House of Manannan, she let us roam the museum at our own pace, which was nice. She also showed us inside St John's church, Tynwald Hill, some Loughton sheep, a view of the Calf of Man, Cregneash Village, and Castle Rushen (which, unfortunately, was closed when we got there).
Overall, it was a wonderful day and we got to see things we either wouldn't have or couldn't have done on our own.

Thank you Lisa, we were so lucky to have such good weather and for you to see Peel as it would have been in your ancestors days in the House of Manannan.

The superb informative pleasant presentation from Jane was second to none
She was brilliant with the history not only of families but the island and its history

Visiting my ancestors farms and driving to the North tip of the island!
Also, seeing the church where my family worshipped.

I can't say enough about the great tour Jane gave us. A visit to Cregneash Village to learn a bit about how our ancestors lived, getting up close and personal with work horses and Manx Loaghtan sheep, and not so close to the resident Manx cat. A visit to the cemetery where we found our g-g-grandparents' headstone and paid our respects. A drive through the village where they lived and its surroundings. Stops at Maughold to see the amazing medieval crosses and at King Orry's Grave. A drive over Snaefell. All the while entertaining and educating us about the history and customs of the island. AND she had prepared for our day with some research based on a small bit of information about my family that I provided.
Jane is well-informed, personable, and just a delight to spend time with. I highly recommend her tour to anyone who wants to understand more about their ancestors or just to learn about this beautiful island.

Thank so much Betty for the lovely review, it was great meeting you and exploring your roots on the island, it is wonderful when we have people returning to their 'roots'
