Superb Tour With John - What a wonderful day we had with John. He was such a wonderful tour guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our trip around the island. John was a fountain of knowledge and a great representative for the Isle Of Mann. We will be sure to visit again soon and we will absolutely be calling John when we visit again - superb!! Asking John to play the bagpipes is an absolute must!

Passionate about this island and lovely local people - We had such a lovely time with John who was with us for a day and a half. He is knowledgeable but more important passionate about this island. We came away loving it And the best part is that we talked him into letting us attend a local fundraiser complete with bingo. The people could not have been more welcoming. We have now been to 94 countries. Due to John Isle of Man is a place we would return to time and again

Absolutely Unreal - John was an exceptional representative of the Isle of Man and could not be any more impressive! Wonderful spirit about him that truly made the day! If I had 10 stars to choose from I’d still try for 11!!! Best connection on the island!

Well worth it - He guided us for five days on a coach tour with Middletons and I only have praise for him. He knows so much and is funny, informative and a joy to be around. Well worth booking him. Thanks John

Fabulous afternoon tour - If you have never been to the island before or even if you live here , this is an amazing afternoon spent learning absolutely everything you could want to about the local history and life. 4 hours isn’t long enough!! John is funny and incredibly interesting. Would definitely recommend

Great experience. Highly recommended. - John is not your average tour guide. He's a one-man orchestra. History buff, passionate bagpipe player and your most enthusiastic and respectful driver on the roads of Isle of Man, he knows the island and loves every single corner of it with all his heart. His vehicle is clean and cosy so we barely felt the February cold and rainy weather than greeted us on the island. Add on top of that a contagious dose of good humour and John's sense of duty when it comes to explain in detail why this place was a cultural haven - even before it offered any fiscal advantage - and you've got the perfect recipe to fall in love with the Isle of Man. Highly recommended tour and by all means, value for money. Please remember to bring your best camera along and be ready to film John when he plays the bagpipe in the historical church. Unforgettable trip, island and man.
