Wonderful Half Day on the Isle of Man with an excellent guide! - Excellent tour. Jacqueline was very knowledgeable on Isle of Man history. She was well-prepared with a flexible agenda and even made scones that morning to share while we watched seals off of the Calf of Man. I enjoyed every moment and learned so much about the Isle of Man that many people will never know. We even stopped at her favourite food truck in Port Erin and had queenies for lunch. Extremely enjoyable! I highly recommend her!

South IOM - Our tour guide Jacqueline was kind enough to pick us up at our rental in Port St. Mary. She was very knowledgeable. We had to rearrange sites and skip some due to visibility issues that morning. We visited Creagnash Village and The Sound. We then visited Castletown with extensive tour of Castle Rushen, The old grammar school, the old Parliament building and the main square. We ate a quick delicious lunch at a food truck on the main square. On the way back we drove through Port Erin. The 4 hours flew by. Wish we had more time!!
