Highly recommend - Excellent tour with plenty of time to explore at each stop. Andy was awesome and Paul did a great job driving! There is a lot of uphill walking so be prepared for that but very much worth it!

One if the best shore excursion we have ever had - The guide Andy was exceptional. He made sure we didn't miss anything - not only the nature, but history and views. He managed to make happy everybody in the group suggesting and providing different options for people with different interests and mobility.

Best tour this year - Our tour guide Andy was simply spectacular. This tour was easily the best we have been on this year. Be prepared to hike up and down steep hills and rough trails to fully enjoy this awesome trip.

Best tour in Portland (UK)! - Very nice, well done Lina! Nice locations to visit! Timing was good at all locations. It might be good to warn/explain persons with mobility issues of the challenges at the various sites in the advertising. Surprised how commercialised Lulworth had become..... still worth the visit :)

A great day, lots of learning and fun - Our tour guide and his wife gave excellent information about the towns and coiuntryside as we traveled, then talked about the history, geology, and significance of the sites we visited. I highly recommend viator, and will use them again for excursions.

Cloudy day on our visit - Long day mostly in bus, several hours also outdoors to stop and shop, buy food and look around Corfe castle ruins. Very chilly, grey and cloudy most of day to really see the coastline. Andy, our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable and provided good narration on bus. Paul, our bus driver was good at navigation around narrow roads.
