Had a great day in port isaac, or do I mean port Wenn, tour guide "Dave", was brilliant, a real character and actually worked on the show in front and behind the camera, also lives in the port so knows all the history. I would say it's a bit up and down, so you'll get your daily steps in , so you need to be relatively in good health.

This gave you a great insight into the whole Doc Martin story. Our guide Mike was in the show and behind the camera so it was a true reflection on the filming, the cast, the buildings used and about Port Isaac's history as a village. It was very informative and interesting. .

Walking the hilly streets of Port Issac!

Patricia_D, Oct 2026
VERY steep and hilly. Need to advertise this more directly. Access to meeting location challenging as car parks are quite a distance away. Would be a great addition to have golf carts taking people to the various locations. Have a meeting start or complimentary ride at the car park etc. Understand check in is located at Candy Shop etc. should advertise “ external” site access only. As a fan of the show, loved that Dave our guide was part of the cast at times! He lived locally and provided lots of commentary about the show, the cast and local life. He made the tour lovely. Thanks Dave!

Excellent Tour

Kathryn_S, Oct 2026
Make sure if driving you park at the car park. I plugged in GPS to the start point and it takes you right into town. There is no parking. It is an excellent tour. The gentlemen Mike knows history of port Isaac. He was in Doc Martin. So informative. Highly recommend

A nice reminder of an excellent program

Karl_B, Oct 2026
An enjoyable visit. The tour operator could have done with being a little more enthusiastic. It would have helped if he had a book of pictures to remind you of the scenes where the places featured (another tour-guide had this which enhanced the experience for us). However, a very enjoyable day. We're now re-watching the program with a new perspective.

If You Liked the Show, You’ll Love This Tour

The experience and Mike’s personality made this tour well worth it! So fun! It’s like we had a private tour of Port Isaac.

Hard to get to Port Isaac...

Absolutely wonderful experience for the 5 of us, one of us who didn’t even watch the show! Mike was very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to spend time with.

Disappointing

LYNNE_J, Sep 2026
I think our expectations may have been too high but we based them on other tours. This was not terribly interesting although there were plenty of locations and opportunities. Our tour guide was very nice but very negative about the show

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity.

Doc Martin tour

Robert_S, Jun 2026
Loved the village and the experience. Our guide Mike was an extra on the show and did a wonderful job

Great walking tour!

Carla_F, May 2026
Nice tour with knowledgeable guide. I would only caution if you are unsteady on your feet that the walk is steep at times and uneven. But highly recommend if you’re a doc martin fan. You see back areas of the village you would likely miss on your own exploring.

Fabulous tour

Ann_C, May 2026
This tour was well worth it. Worth every penny. The tour guide, Mike Meakins, was brilliant and was part of the cast of the Doc Martins series, so his knowledge was incredible. Strongly recommend

The legends of Doc Martin

Naomi_F, Apr 2026
A fantastic tour of Port Isaac and Doc Martin’s Port Wenn-a truly remarkable and informative guide with first hand knowledge

Great fun for Doc Martin fans!

Sheila_Z, Apr 2026
We enjoyed seeing the locations from the show and exploring in the back streets. It was like a trip down memory lane hearing the stories again and seeing the places they were filmed.

If you are a Doc Martin fan, it doesn't get any better than this

Francis_C, Apr 2026
It brings you very close to the experience of Port Wenn. It's all there, and our tour guide (Mike Meakins) had been a more or less recurring extra throughout the series from the beginning and gave a lot of insight into the production Great job.

Doc Martin tour

Nicky_F, Mar 2026
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.

Nice to have real local to guide you on the tour!

Alan_D, Jan 2026
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!

Recommended tour

Brynn_D, Jan 2026
Mike was excellent, very informative and as an actor in the series, he was very knowledgeable, recommended

Fantastic Tour

Kathleen_F, Nov 2025
Dave is an excellent Tour guide, with a wealth of knowledge! Those in our group who knew noting about Doc Martin enjoyed the Tour and learning more about Port Isaac. The Doc Martin fans enjoyed all the fun facts and familiar scenery. Incredible photo opps.

Best stop on our vacation
