We had a great day out with Doug who was friendly and informative. We would never have found some of the places we visited on our own. Beautiful countryside. It’s so nice to have a local driver and guide. Highly recommend.

We’ve just returned to the US from a wonderful 6-day tour of Cornwall with Doug Evans of Meneage Tours. Doug was in communication with us for almost two months prior to our trip to the UK, providing us with travel times and arranging a custom tour according to the varied and many! wants on our wish list. Our group of four enjoyed travel-packed adventures and great pub meals on our travel throughout Cornwall with Doug and Phil on the days we spent with each of them. Their witty insights and knowledge of local historical and cultural sights made for and even more interesting trip. Our sincere thanks to Doug for arranging such a complete and wonderful tour of Cornwall! –P, G, M, and M
