It was a great purchase. It was a well constructed tour and worth the money. We were shown numerous landmarks and we had full control of how rough the flight was. We chose the calm selection.

Now this was the the best point of my holiday. A 4 day holiday in Dorset where most of the things were closed for tourists cause of Covid-19. The cherry on top was Elliot. He was a gem of a person. Did not show fake excitement and interest but also interacted in a way that made all of us become involved. He told us things that we would like to know and explained them well. The best part is he took time to show us dolphins and spent time to follow the two dolphins as well so that we could see them properly. He was a genuine human and a very good one. I would definitely recommend to everyone to experience this but moreover try and see if Elliot can take you in the ride. We loved the speed and he knew what we liked and did that to amuse and give us the value for the money. I have saved his details personally for my comp ay so that I can recommend him for my annual gatherings. Stay blessed Elliot!!!!!

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.

Our flight was piloted by Chris. He was very informative and polite and took us over the Isle of White, the beach, Weymouth. The actual experience was AMAZING!! Everywhere we went he told us about it and the experience itself was amazing. I highly recommend this as it is definitely an experience you will never forget, one reason for that is that he handed me the controls and I FLEW THE PLANE! Everything was nice, chilled, very safe and easy. Overall, couldn't have been better ????

Flying above the Jurassic Coastline in a motorglider is a truly unique experience.

To begin with; Ian was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. It was my first time on a motor glider and I truly enjoyed the experience. Flying in a glider is an amazing experience and once Ian let me take the controls, it was outstanding. On top of that, stunning views of the Jurassic Coast are picturesque. I should add that compared to a standard light aircraft (Cessna or Piper) the views are better because of the canopy. I highly recommend it! Atilla

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. We were so impressed with Anson, we signed up for a tour at the Forbidden City and requested him. He is extremely knowledgable about the history in China and tells it in a way that keeps things interesting.
