Short trip tour - Louise did extra research for our tour to see exactly what we wanted to see. Professional driver and tour guide. We did a half day North tour one day and half day South tour the next. We were able to see a lot of the Isle in the limited time we were there.

Isle of Man -the North - Louise was a great guide and was eager to share her knowledge of the Isle of Man. She gave us a great “local” experience and made sure we saw all the most pertinent historical sites.

A really great tour! - We had an excellent tour with Louise our guide. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and interesting about the island and its history. We both really enjoyed it and feel we now know the island much better and see it in a different light. Would thoroughly recommend this experience!

Wonderful! - Enjoyed a wonderful tour with Louise. She was knowledgeable and passionate about her home land, and took us to visit so many interesting places that would have otherwise been out of our reach. She accommodated all our needs and requests, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting the island. Thank you Louise!

Our Excellent Adventure - Louise’s knowledge of the area was all encompassing. We enjoyed the time we spent with her. Given the TT Race scheduled during the day (with many road closures) she was flexible and adjusted the tour route to maximize our experience. She was an excellent guide!

This isn't just any tour...it's the IOM Guided Tour (with Louise) - We got to see the northern part of the Island at its best (the weather was glorious too). I learned a great deal from a guide that was knowledgable and shared history of the isle with passion and humour. The highight of the tour was seeing the Lighthouse at the Point of Ayre. This tour is worth every penny but what really made this tour so special was Louise herself. Professional, warm and just great company. Thanks Louise
