Jane was truly great. She knew everything, and every where we wanted to go. We had a great tour and a knowledgeable guide.

If you’re visiting the Isle of Man, booking a private tour with Jane is one of the best decisions you can make.We spent eight incredible hours exploring the island, and somehow Jane managed to fit in everything you could possibly want to see without the day ever feeling rushed. From breathtaking coastal scenery and charming villages to fascinating historical sites and hidden gems that I never would have discovered on my own, every stop was thoughtfully chosen.Jane’s knowledge of the Isle of Man is exceptional. She shared the island’s history, culture, folklore, and local stories with genuine enthusiasm, making every location come alive. She was warm, engaging, and wonderfully accommodating, tailoring the day to my interests while ensuring we experienced all of the island’s highlights.By the end of the tour, I felt like I had truly experienced the Isle of Man rather than simply visiting it. It would have taken me days to see as much on my own, and I wouldn’t have gained the same insight and appreciation.If you’re looking for the ultimate Isle of Man experience, I can’t recommend Jane highly enough. This tour was worth every penny and was the absolute highlight of my visit. Thanks again, Jane! ☺️

If you have any interest in the deep, rich and beautiful history of IoM, you absolutely must do this day tour. You will discover that the IoM story goes back many millenia, culminating with a deep and richly rooted celtic tradition interwoven with modern day society and governance. IoM is a uniquely structured and proud society of lovely warm and welcoming people's. The sort of community spirit I remember growing up in as a baby boomer era kid in North East of England.

In over 5 years of doing private, cruise line, Tours-By-Locals and Cool Destinations tours Jane is absolutely the best tour guide we’ve EVER had! The 8 hour tour she provided took us to the highlights around the entire island. If you have never been to this island you must plan a trip here whether by cruise, bus or on your own. The natural beauty of the island totally blew us away! Jane knows the island’s history, agriculture, governing structure, economics, etc. and personnel at every stop we made. In addition to the standard highlights she showed us hidden gems like the WW II interment camp sites at Knockaloe and the geological Lapetus Suture at Niarbyl. Great lunch and for desert she took us through a door where we ate to see a 2/3 rd replica of a Viking ship that actually sailed from Trondheim Norway to Peel Isle of Man. We met as strangers and left as good friends.

The whole day was excellent. Jane was a brilliant host and was filled with loads of facts and stories about the places we visited and the island itself. As we were only on the island for 2 days, the trip was an excellent way of seeing a variety of places in a short period of time and definitely gave us the appetite to return for a longer stay.

The Mekong tour was one very well organized with a variety of experiences. The tour guide Jack was very kind, efficient and helpful who made the trip very enjoyable. Thank you.

Oh, we enjoyed our day on the Isle of Man. Such a beautiful Isle! Jane is the ultimate ambassador! We learned sooooo much about an island that we had no idea about. We got to see the purple heather and yellow gorse blooming on the hills. We went up to the far North and West and East and South. Everywhere in our 8 hour day. We learned the history and unique government that this island is all about. Comfortable Rav 4. Great lunch spot with real Isle of Man food. Complete immersion! Choose Jane. you will not regret a moment.

Jane's enthusiasm and her vast knowledge base made her a delight to have as a tour guide. Receptive to questions and highly aware of her client's interests, Jane was able to merge her client's interests while simultaneously sharing information about the Isle of Man. The eight-hour experience felt like eight minutes - her passion for her job was infectious!

We booked this tour on the recommendation of our son & his partner & it was wonderful! Jane was great, so knowledgeable & enthusiastic about everything about the Isle of Man. She took the time to chat & find out our interests & tailored the tour accordingly. We visited so much of the island it gave us a good flavour of what’s there & we both fell in love with the whole island. It was an excellent day!

The island's history came to life while on tour with our guide. Fantastic storytelling that bolstered our curiosity and desire to find where our ancestors came from. Well worth the experience!

We visited Scotland, Ireland and IOM on our visit to the UK. Our full day tour with Jane was nothing short of fantastic. The late October visit coincided with torrential rainstorms in Scotland and IOM. Jane picked us up on time and said she was surprised we didn't reschedule due to weather. We said we were in it to win it and we were still ready to see the island, umbrellas and rainboots ready. Jane was just as game and we headed out for an unforgettable day on the island. The wind was whipping at 60+ miles an hour and Jane willingly drove us up the cliffs to see what we could see. The views were stunning, even as the winds were knocking us off our feet and we marveled at the sheep who seemed completely unbothered. Jane took us everywhere as prior planned, we still climbed up to the top of the Laxey wheel and popped inside the dripping mine, wearing the much needed hardhats. She allowed us to stop and take as many pictures as we wanted, even as we came back to her car wet and dripping every time. We stopped in a teeny, tiny coffee shop, complete with a cozy cat sleeping in a box, overlooking the roaring sea for a mid-morning break. Lunch overlooked the massively churning sea and we were elbow to elbow with the locals (it was yummy, too!). We rode along the streets where the TT races occur. We saw King Orry's gravesite (4000-5000 yo), Tynwald, churches, graveyards, sheep, the only thing we missed was seeing a real Manx cat. :) She told us fascinating stories about Man and what it might have been like back when my grandmother lived in Douglas. She was a delightful tour guide and as we consider a return visit to the UK this year, a revisit to IOM is on the table, as we'd love to see this lovely island again and tour everything we didn't see this time - and of course it would be with Jane!

This was a magical tour that let us explore all parts of this mystical and wondrous island. We highly recommend Jane, our tour guide, who led us to these beautiful places. She seemed to know everyone, has a lot of experience on the Isle, and made sure to make this an unforgettable experience. This private tour is highly recommended over group tours because you can see and do so much more...It's hard to put into words how much more you get. It's worth every penny. The Isle of Man quickly became one of my favorite places I've visited (been to over 50 countries), and I look forward to spending much more time here.

This tour with John Shakespeare was well worth the money! He is very knowledgeable and personable and showed us some great stuff along the way. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to know more about the local area and its extensive history.

Our guide Jane took us to all the iconic corners of the island so we could feel its beauty and a long captivating history. She is a real connoisseur of all aspects of life of her native land and her presentation was easy and informative. With no doubt I highly recommend Jane to be your guide and assistant while you are visiting Isle of Man.

Jane was simply amazing. She knew absolutely everything about the Isle of Man and knew absolutely everyone. We could not have selected a better guide.
