Can’t beat this tour. John was an excellent tour guide, great personality, full of historical stories, flexible scheduling to accommodate our cruise ship stop, great picturesque stops from a comfortable car. Well worth the price.

For anyone visiting the IOM this tour is a must. John’s in-depth knowledge of the island, its culture and the island's links to historic events in the UK (and beyond) is immense. John’s knowledge of archaeology and the history of the island is invaluable in understanding the island's development over the centuries. I have Visited the IOM annually for past three years and have always stayed in Douglas. I have learnt so much from this tour that it has it given me an appetite to venture further on my next visit and learn more. John is very friendly and helpful; nothing is too much trouble for him. After spending eight interesting hours with John I feel that I have made a new friend! I would highly recommend this tour, very good value for money.

John has an in-depth knowledge of local history, anthropology, and social customs. He even explores many stories that go unnoticed by local residents. This trip is not only about exploring the island with a local, but also about understanding this small community and its local nature. John對本地歷史、人類學、社會風俗有著深入的理解。 甚至探索了許多本地居民未曾注意到的故事。 這場旅行,不僅是和一位本地人探索小島,更是理解這個小小的社會和它的本土性。

John was simply amazing. What a stroke of luck to spend an incredible day with this man. I don't think we'll ever realize how important John is to the IOM. He gave a more than an expert tour of this beautiful place. He is well known about the Isle which says alot about him. We will one day definitely revisit.

John guided me around Isle of Man a whole day. I cannot recommend John enough! I had a LOT of questions and he answered all of them. We went off pist from the tourist trail, exploring beautiful and interesting Man. John shares knowledge about both contemporary issues and history right back to the neolitic age - and is a great storyteller!
