Ilfracombe Harbour Ghost TourX1876AUdanielo, Sep 2026
Excellent tour taken to the next level by amazing guide Mark
Mark gave us an excellent spooky tour of Ilfracombe on a warm evening in August. Both kids were suitably spooked and inspired! Without giving anything away, the tour was family friendly, sensitively grizzly and made for a great family experience.

RHS Garden Rosemoorbecnhugh, Sep 2026
Enjoyable visit
As a long time member of the RHS I have been keen to visit Rosemoor for quite a while. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit especially as the Lego models were still in situ which meant we used this as a method of creating a route to explore the gardens. We spent around 3 hours here exploring the gardens and eating our picnic finishing with a cream tea in the restaurant which was waitress service. It was a shame that the Wisteria tearooms were closed as it appeared the gardens were quite busy and it would have been nice to have an option for a drink on the far side of the gardens. However apart from this we enjoyed our visit and would love to go again.

Coasteering Geopark Adventure In Torquay5holliem, Sep 2026
Amazing experience
Absolutely amazing experience! We had so much fun, and Ziggy was an incredible guide. He brought a great mix of education, fun and competitiveness to the trip, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.The whole session was really well organised, and Ziggy made us feel safe and comfortable while still encouraging us to push ourselves and have a go at everything. The scenery was stunning, and there was a perfect balance of swimming, climbing, jumping and exploring. Photos and videos included too!We had such a brilliant time and would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for something fun, adventurous and a little bit different. We’ll definitely be back!

The Fawlty Tours walking experienceSuttonPotter, Sep 2026
Que?
This tour was a lot of fun and I recommend it to any Fawlty Towers fans who happen to be in the Torbay area. It was fascinating to hear stories about the hotel on which the comedy was based, the filming of the two series and what has happened to some of the stars of the show. We all joined in enthusiastically reciting some of the most popular scenes and I terrified other people on the tour by channelling my inner Basil.

Don’t mention the war!
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour in the glorious sunshine yesterday. Graham was a very engaging guide full of interesting facts about Fawlty Towers and Torquay. There was lots of interaction and as a small group it was very relaxed. A fun way to spend a couple of hours in Torbaydos and good value for money.

Fab experience
Very fun and lighthearted experience. Karl was a great instructor, very laid back but informative, and lots of great pictures taken for us.

Wind and rain didn’t dampen the experience!!!
The whole experience was brilliant and the hosts super attentive, I was even contacted the day before we were due to take part offering another day to take part because the weather was not looking too great.We still went on the day originally booked and even though a little windy and a bit of rain it didn’t dampen the experience at all.Full instruction given before we head out and throughout the safari too - it was a bit of a workout but so much fun!!We were lucky enough to see a bit of the local wildlife with a seal showing his face with information provided by the guide about their breeding habits and local seal population.My only regret is that me and my partner have not done it before and certainly will plan to do so again in the future!!Thank you for a great experience - totally worth the money without doubt!!
