It was a Great Day! - The 2 tour guides and the driver worked together to provide us with an amazing excursion. They were very patient and kind to assist, explain, figure out the best way and give us a smile. It was like spending the day with favorite friends or relatives. It was definitely a great day!

Portland UK, Jurassic coast excursion, from cruise ship. - Excellent guides, Luke & Spencer, made our trip, informative & fun. Our bus driver Chris, tried to keep us comfortable & dry, between the rain. I would recommend taking this excursion, to anyone in the area. We came off the cruise ship, Nieuw Statendam, in Portland, UK. They were prompt & explained the tour.

Beautiful sights and friendly guides - As has been our experience with Viator: this was an excellent tour highlighting some very nice features of the area. One suggestion: we were among a group of elderly people that came off of a Holland America cruise ship. The first stop, I believe a little bit better job should be done on explaining that it is an uneven and possibly even treacherous walk to get to Durdle Door. My suggestion would be if there is any type of walking involved during the tour, considering this age group, the tour guide should possibly do a little bit better job of clarifying how long of a walk it is and how difficult of a walk it is. My wife and I were possibly the youngest couple, at 65 years of age, or one of the youngest couples on the tour and struggled at the first stop due to the footing. The tour was great, Luke, Chris, the bus driver, and Spencer were all terrific. I just believe people should have a little bit better idea of what type of walking is involved at any of the stops. Another example: we got off the bus at Weymouth, and we’re told that a fish and chips place was a short walk. It was not a short walk at all. It would help if the guys were a bit more specific with that. Overall, excellent tour that we would recommend.

Guided tour gave us a great day. - Ours was an adult mother/daughter trip. We had a beautiful day and the tour was all we expected and more. We loved the balance of guided information and independent exploration. We definitely could not have seen all this without a helpful and knowledgeable guide.
