Margaret is the tour star

Christopher_M, Jul 2026
Margaret, our guide, was exceptional. Knowledgeable, informative, friendly, a must for any such tour. Personally, I made an error as I did not check the itinerary so we had already toured the castle and bought annual passes the day before. However, with Margaret we got to see and hear the noon gun, and spend an hour with her over coffee talking about the history of the various islands. Worth every second of our time with her. Victor Hugo’s house was exceptional and was on our ‘to do’ list. Highly recommended although the house supplies their own guides and Margaret had to wait outside for us for about an hour. All in all a well spent four hours with an exceptional guide. My one criticism is the cost. If we take off the entry fees, I would say the tour is at least 25% over priced for what we received. £300 would have been better value for money.

We're delighted to hear that Margaret made your tour so memorable and that you enjoyed her knowledge, the noon gun, and the visit to Victor Hugo's House.

Many Thanks & best regards Pilar Gonzalez Top Private tours

Much better than expected

JeanPaul_N, Jun 2024
When I booked I read small group but it ended up a private tour for the 4 of us, two older couples 69, 71, 72, 80. We were greeted by Ine our guide at the port. She was friendly and very attentive and saw our ages and offered safer and easier routes to mitigate the challenges of uneven pavement and uneven outside stairs and avoid those with no handrails. There is considerable climbing and walking involved my wife reached her 10000 steps while on tour. The port/town is very interesting and charming with Ine's knowledge shining through repeatedly. We toured the church, the old market area, Victor Hugo's house and the Cornet Castle got to see and hear the noontime cannon shot as well. The highlight was undoubtedly the Hugo house, which was included, and offered up so much to see. His house like his books had so many intricate details. Our house guide Montaine was also excellent. The garden, the views everything about it oh so memorable. The little channel island of Guernsey stands tall against Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow, Belfast, Liverpool as our other cruise destinations. So glad we did this tour. Highly recommended.
