Possibility of going to Port Isaac while staying in Cornwall

I didn’t do what you plan on doing but I was on a Rabbies tour that stopped at Port Isaac. Being a Doc Martin fan as well, it was so much fun to wander about and look at the different filming locations! We just had a map so we wandered around ourselves. I think we even managed to persuade the non Doc Martin fans to start watching the show after walking around with us. RS tours will usually give you an afternoon or even a whole day off referred to as “a vacation from your vacation” so if you can make this work, I say go for it!

Last July I took the South England tour. It’s one of my favorite tours.

Our guide Roy arranged for a stop at Port Isaac. It was interesting to view the exteriors that we see in Doc Martin and what the buildings are in real life. We stopped on Day 9 after Tintagel.

Word of caution: watch out for the seagulls. They swoop down to grab your ice cream out of your hand.

I doubt if you need a tour, the set is quite small and includes private property. I don’t know about Uber or a taxi to and from.

Here’s my trip report if you’re interested. It is long; also includes pre-tour London and post-tour Ireland. https://community.ricksteves.com/travel-forum/trip-reports/london-south-of-england-ireland-trip-report

You won’t find an Uber. Book a taxi from the airport which is next to Mawgan Porth- Coastline Travel.

On my long ago Southern England tour we also stopped at Port Isaac. After you sign up, I'd call the office to see if your tour will be stopping there. The itinerary has changed a little since I took it (for the better) but I think the British guides and the RS office knows how much Americans enjoy Doc Martin.

You may stop there on the way from Mawgan Port to Tintagel.

And seriously, it looks just like it does on the show just with different names on some of the buildings, lol.

We did a great Rabbies Tour of Devon and Cornwall and visited Port Isaac. It was the most crowded place that we visited. It was good, but not our favorite place in Cornwall.

For any original Dr Martin fans with Martin Clunes he will guest star as the father to Josh Farrells Doc Martin here in the states. No surprising as Martin Clunes wife, Philippa Braithwaite, is an executive producer. Show is titled Best Medicine and is on FOX. Airs at 8pm on Tuesday nights.
