Enjoyable and relaxing - Everything was on time and journey very relaxing. An Easter egg. Was a nice thought driver very good. Guide Andrew was very informative however one hour stop was not long enough at Godshill as no time to have lunch and see the village. Needless to say is fantastic for the views but very toristy and very expensive especially £9 for the chair

Don’t Miss Seeing Isle of Wight - I loved the entire trip from the scenery driving to Portsmouth, quick chance to shop at the Portsmouth shopping area, the Ferry ride was smooth, Godshill is quaint and a perfect lunch spot, and the pinnacle was Alum Beach and the Needles. I took the chairlift up and down for the best views. Two choices (extra cost) for sightseeing the Needles up close (slow boat and speed boat). I did the speed boat and loved it!!! So fun. This was my third tour with Gerry. Absolute fantastic tour guide! Knowledge, funny, helpful and fun to be around. I would 100 percent recommend tours handled by Discovery Tours.

Great sights, and not only the famous Needles, but also multi-coloured rocks and thatched roof cottages - Still not a very good idea to travel with 52 more travel buddies, but there was no other option for this destination.
