Mike was a great tour guide. Do much insight for those Doc Martin fans, but you don't have to be a fan of the series as it's very interesting knowing all the history of Port Isaac. Excellent tour.

Great “Doc Martin” tour from Dave our guide. One of a few locals that still live in Port Isaac and “starred” in all but 1 of the 10 series of Doc Martin. Very informative tour and history of Port Isaac so would recommend - thank you Dave!

It is absolutely fantastic and a must for anyone who has ever seen the show, our guide was Mike Meakins and he was an extra (SA) special person involved in the show and was just an absolute pleasure.

The Doc tour

SarahLindsay_L, Sep 2025

Brilliant, gives you insight into the filming of the programme, takes you around the main places of filming and also really interesting history of this beautiful village

Walking tour such a hoot!

Lisa_M, Sep 2025

Inside look into the Doc Martin story with lots of walking up and down. Mike is a great guide and has many fascinating tidbits to share.

English Adventure

William_S, Sep 2025

If you’re a Doc Martin fan, this is a very nice tour of spots where filming took place and other parts of the village. The tour takes a little over an hour allowing time to wander further on your own and enjoy lunch.

Brilliant

Lesa_S, Aug 2025

It was a fantastic tour. Mike our tour guide was so informative and had been in Doc Martin so knew the actors and everyone behind the scenes. He had some brilliant stories to share about what went on behind and infront of the camera. I throughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed the show. Port Issac is so idyllic, beautiful part of Cornwall

Very informative

Carolyn_S, Aug 2025

The tour was very informative & our guide actually appeared in the TV show himself. A lovely, interesting walk through the streets of Port Isaac. Very hilly though ! Highly recommend 😃

So much fun!

Jennifer_D, Aug 2025

It was a lot of fun! Our guide was great! And it was fun that he was an extra on the show. Will definitely do it again.

Uninspiring

Tracey_M, Aug 2025

Im not sure what I was expecting but it was basically a run down of which buildings they used the exterior for to shoot some scenes. We got bored and left about halfway through Dave the tour guide was very difficult to hear, and while knowledgeable, delivered the meagre contents in a really flat and dull manner.

It is more a 1 hour than...

Rosemarie_P, Jul 2025

It is more a 1 hour than 1 hr 30 min tour. We saw all the main points of interest and Dave had some interesting stories to tell. Port Isaac is truly beautiful.

Excellent tour. Very...

Terry_P, Jul 2025

Excellent tour. Very knowledgeable guide and entertaining. Even my husband who never watched a Doc Martin show enjoyed himself.

For all Doc Martin fans

Teresa_B, Jul 2025

Brilliant tour. Guide was so knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting. Would recommend. Port Isaac very pretty

Could have been better

Natalie_S, Jul 2025

For us, as big Doc Martin fans, nothing could really ruin the experience of getting to see the town of Portwenn/Port Isaac, where our beloved TV characters live. We had gorgeous weather on the day of our tour and it was such a treat to actually walk the streets of our favorite Cornish village. Our tour guide was an older gentleman who pointed out the sites and explained what scenes had been filmed at various locations. However, he was pretty low-key, to the point of seeming a bit disinterested, and his rather sparse commentary omitted details about scenes he could easily have included. I also found him to be soft-spoken and difficult to hear. He repeatedly pointed out homes in the village where no one lived anymore, as nearly all had been turned into “holiday lets” (vacation rentals). The tour is advertised as being 1.5 hrs long, but he wound things up a good 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Overall a bit disappointing as we had booked a private tour guide/driver to take us from cruise port of Falmouth up to Port Isaac pretty much just for this tour.

An Insider's View

Eileen_M, Jul 2025

Mike was friendly and well versed in the history of the show and Port Isaac. He was also able to add his personal experiences as a resident and a cast member. I highly recommend this tour.

Really interesting tour with our guide Mike, lots of interesting and quirky facts, enjoyable and fun… Thanks Mike

While the town slopes...

nanrodems, Jun 2025

While the town slopes down to the harbor, the tour itself was not that hard. It was a more difficult walk to and from the car park. Our guide was very nice. He had some small roles in some of the episodes. He was very knowledgeable about the filming of the show. I would recommend this to any Doc Martin fan. My husband didn’t really watch the show but enjoyed the tour as well. It lasted 1 hour instead of 90 minutes.

Great guide and I felt...

Dale_W, Jun 2025

Great guide and I felt like I was in Port Wenn. He had fun stories about the show to tell us about. Totally recommend this tour.

May be canceled a couple...

Kenneth_P, May 2025

May be canceled a couple of days before it’s scheduled if there are not enough people on your tour. Also may be cheaper booking it there.
