We actually used Dorset Tours sometime ago and rebooked again this year. Unfortunately lockdown has prevented us from traveling so we are hoping to use them again in 2022! I just wanted to express what a pleasure it has been itinerary planning and dealing with Sally over the last few months. Would recommend, especially if you are in the Weymouth and Portland area. Thanks.

Having lived in Weymouth for over 30 Years i want to share the delights of this great little Town with fellow travellers !! My mini local tour can be adaptable to suite most customer needs such as distance or different Historical or Social interests. Having been a tour guide before previously in Weymouth on a glass bottom boat i feel i know how to entertain my customers. I am a passionate traveller myself having been in the Royal Navy and also being a keen Backpacker to distant and near places such as India, Antartica, Asia, USA, and Europe my favourites being Ireland, India and Antartica. My Tour will be fun and flexible to meet your needs whether it is to have more time or more or less walking distance and maybe different locations and things to see.

What an incredibly helpful and customer-focused company. We had originally booked on the Jurassic Coast cruise which was cancelled due to low numbers. They offered a refund or a longer harbour cruise with a free meal deal. They were very apologetic and worried about making sure we were happy. The cruise was great, the commentary was interesting and witty, and the customer service onboard put many other businesses to shame. Well done - brilliant

Anson was our tour guide. He spoke great English and had tons of knowledge about the neighborhoods we were walking in, which was also the location of our hotel. He gave us a variety of food choices, all delicious, but did give us the option to be more adventurous. We opted out of eating anything too exotic.
