A kind and gifted guide. - My husband and I visited the beautiful Isle of Man for the first time. From the moment Louise met us at the front of our hotel, we knew that we had met the perfect guide. Not only was she kind and knowledgeable, she certainly went the extra mile for us. My husband was researching his ancestry and retracing his roots. Louise had gone to the trouble of finding information that he has not been able to get online. She had made extra phone calls and came up with more information that was invaluable. The tour itself was wonderful. Such a beautiful and scenic drive. Louise has such a love for her country and a deep knowledge of its history. She is a safe and confident driver. We stopped at every interesting site and Luis was very accommodating if we saw things that we thought were extra photo opportunities. A perfect day with a delightful person. We highly recommend Louise for this tour. Happy travels!

A Fantastic Introduction to the Isle of Man - Louise is a gem. She is fun, incredibly knowledgeable, adaptable, and has great follow up. Our tour day started with rain and wind. She reversed her usual itinerary to adjust. It worked well, as it cleared up by about noon. We visited Tynwald Hill, Peel Castle, the Calf of Man, Cragnessh Village, The Great Laxey Wheel, and the TT racecourse (to name a few spots). We discussed everything from religion to motorbikes. She made it a wonderful day. We're here a bit longer and plan on taking her recommends on what to see next. If you want to get a great sense of all things Isle of Man, Louise is an outstanding guide.

Excellent Isle of Man Tour Guide - A fantastic day exploring the Island with Louise as our guide. Exactly the experience we were hoping for, covering well known and lesser known areas of interest including the all important refreshment stops at beautiful beach front cafes. Louise was more than qualified with a wealth of both historical and modern knowledge which really brought the adventure to life.. thank you for a wonderful day, would highly recommend.

A Gem of a Tour - Louise is a gem! She is warm, friendly and very knowledgeable about the Isle of Man. Her love for the rich history and culture of the Isle of Man comes through as she guides you around while telling the story of the island and its people. She is very accomodating allowing you to customize the tour to include the things that are of most interest. You never feel rushed. She answers all you questions and more. Within 10 minutes of meeting Louise, she felt like family. We would most definitely book a tour with Louise in the future and encourage others to do the same. Louise will not disappoint! Bravo!

10/10 definitely recommend - We had an absolutely brilliant day seeing the beautiful Isle of Man with our guide, Louise. Friendly, chatty, and a wealth of local knowledge, everything from history to food recommendations. There were so many stand-out moments from the day I can't pick my favourite bit. Great Laxey Wheel, TT track, castles, wildlife, gorgeous views... the whole day was amazing. Totally worth every penny.
