Did a great 5 day tour of Devon and Cornwall from London and it was great.

Our tour guide/ driver was David and he was fantastic. It was five days starting at 9am near Victoria Station, ending at 6pm four days later. We had two nights in Exeter and two nights in Falmouth.
David was very familiar with where to visit and how to save time getting there. Also, he had great knowledge of British history.

The tour company was Rabbie's Tours. David drove a smaller bus with seats for about 15, but we only had 11 on the tour.
The tour cost was great, we paid a little one a 1000 pounds to Rabbie's. We did have to pay directly to our B&Bs for lodging, which ran about 230 pounds per night. All breakfasts were included and we paid four all our other meals. We rarely ate lunch after a health breakfast.

I'm glad you had a good experience, geovagriffith! I love Cornwall and especially Devon, and Falmouth is one of my favorite places. One of these days, I need to take a Rabbies tour—I keep promoting them because of all the good reviews, but it would be nice to see for myself. :-)

I took my first multi-day Rabbie’s tour earlier this year and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to. It’s such a great way to tour. You get the transportation and local guide with plenty of independent time.

I’ll have to take a closer look at this tour.

I’m curious how you spent your time before and after the tour. Did you stay at a hotel near Victoria Station so you could walk to the departure/drop-off point?

We stayed at the Premier Inn Victoria that was two blocks from the Rabbie's pickup point.

Also, it is three blocks from where the National Express bus from Heathrow dropped us off.

I appreciate the information on the hotel. It sounds like a very convenient place to stay for the Rabbie’s tours. I also have my eye on their 5-day Wales tour.
