Beautiful Bonchurch Village on Saturday October 5th, which was masquerading as a midsummer's day! An ancient Isle of Wight village where time has almost stood still, it's easy to understand how captivated by it Charles Dickens was during the long summer he spent here in 1849.

Our local Alum Bay Glass.... Amazing glass creations using sand in the age-old manner. Our 25 Swedish visitors certainly appreciated the demonstration they had booked and then made purchases. Who wouldn't!

Having an insanely busy time with IOW tours throughout May. These are just a few pictures of Cowes, both East and West. Think Queen Victoria - the house she bought (built) versus the house she could have bought had she chosen to. Afternoon tea at The Terrace, Osborne House and in the cellars and the Egyptian corner of Northwood House (this part of the tour wonderfully led by its trustee and director Tim Wander).Two great groups of Americans to show round. Today's tour was with a well-established author and her husband. She was researching for her next novel which will be based on the Isle of Wight in around 1900. Definitely one to look out for!

Wonderful tour recently with repeat visitors from Canada after a good few years. We did the whole tour on public transport which was real fun as well as considerably reducing transport costs. We travelled from Cowes to Newport and then on to Freshwater Bay where we visited Dimbola Museum & Galleries We also collected a lovely takeaway lunch from their wonderful tearoom. From there it was on to The Needles for a chairlift ride and then on to Yarmouth in readiness for the return journey back to Cowes. A really enjoyable day for one and all!

Happy Easter to all of our clients! We started the unofficial opening of the Island's tourist season with a wonderful highly personalised tour. The sun came out on command to greet our lovely guest from Holland, whose husband is participating in the Easter sailing at Cowes. Her tour request was for a combination of gastronomy and books. We talked a lot about authors connected to the Isle of Wight and visited one of my all time favourite bookshops. But not before a quick visit to Quarr Abbey, The Mermaid Bar (IOW Distillery) for a spirit tasting session after coffees and hot cross buns, it being Good Friday after all. Then another tasting, this time wine at Adgestone Vineyard, after a self-guided audio tour around the vineyard itself. Next it was on to the Ventnor Exchange to devote our attention to an Island cheese platter and my client to an Island Yachtsman beer. The whole 8 hours were simply glorious, even though we still didn't make it to either the Garlic Farm for garlic bread or the Crab Shed for a crab pasty as we had originally hoped to. But - our tours are simply as individual, flexible and full of fun as you are and we enjoy them every bit as much as you do. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Wonderful start to the New Year with an early January tour. Three delightful guests from the USA made the most of a family occasion in London by also making a beeline for the delights of the Isle of Wight and Portsmouth. Staying at the elegant Royal Hotel in Ventnor which was familiar to Queen Victoria, it's hardly surprising that their first port of call was Osborne House. They were on top form that day at Queen Victoria's former home and laid on some extra in-house magic to delight their visitors. My tour was rounded off by a scenic ride across the Island to experience the natural West coast wonders that are The Needles and the coloured cliffs of Alum Bay.

A very Happy New Year to all our clients past, future and present. We had a fantastic year in 2023 and it promises to be just as busy and fascinating in the months ahead. We so look forward to sharing some highlights with you again, both meeting up with old 'friends' and making new.
