I was a little bit skeptical of whether or not it would live up to the hype or would be worth the walk, but it definitely lived up to expectations. We went early in the morning and it was already a little crowded. It took us about 2 hours to walk the entire thing. I will say that we got very lost on the one section between Walmgate Bar and Mickelgate Bar. I recommend bringing a copy of the map with you as google maps will steer you wrong.

Booked for April 2020 but was cancelled due to Covid and wouldn’t refund money,issued voucher to use in 2021.Now informed that they won’t honour existing booking as they’ve put price up by £150 ???????? so have refunded original money.Have kept my money for over a year to help their business survive but now increased the price by about 80% and don’t want to look after existing bookings.Shocking way for a company to act so avoid them at all cost.Contact Liverpool taxi drivers via social media who will look after you at a fraction of the cost with a professional service. Brit Movie Tours are greedy and unprofessional !!!

Walking around the streets of Mousehole, you certainly get a real feel for the village and can see some amazing things, but the chances are you aren’t really catching everything. This is the beauty of joining a walking tour - you get to explore somewhere new, admire the scenery and learn some fascinating facts along the way - all this from a Mousehole girl who is always excited about this truly special village - private guided walks are available and bookable at a mutually agreeable time.

Inclusions: Walking Tour of the village

We recently had the pleasure of a tour around Mousehole with Elaine. We thoroughly enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it. Elaine has so much knowledge and personal experience of growing up here. She has some amazing old photos showing how things were back in the day. We saw parts of Mousehole that we had never seen before. We will certainly be in touch with Elaine next time we are in Cornwall to do another of her walks.

My sister and I paid for this experience for my dads 60th birthday back in February. Our walk was on the 15th May, and we had Max as our guide- he was absolutely brilliant! Super friendly, really knowledgeable and good fun. Max also did a great job at putting our minds at ease, whilst making the experience a laugh for all. We also managed to dodge the rainstorm that was coming in, which is a bonus :) The experience as a whole was fantastic start to end, and we would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

Had a fantastic afternoon yesterday visiting some excellent restaurants and sampling their cheese and wine selections. What's not to like! Throw in a walking tour of Newcastle, led by the lovely and very knowledgeable Amy, en route to each eatery and you have a perfect afternoon I'd say. What are you waiting for?

Absolutely perfect experience. From the minute we arrived we were warmly welcomed and treated like royalty. A lovely, beautiful trundle along the river was elevated by Skipper Nick’s humour and knowledge. The picnic was also delicious with a wide selection- we were both stuffed after! The stop at the pub was also a nice addition. We couldn’t have enjoyed it more and will most definitely be recommending to friends and family
