May to September

If you’re considering your first walking tour experience in St Ives, let us guide you. We offer a range of options designed to suit different budgets and time commitments. The average rating across our three available tours is a fantastic 4.7 out of 5, indicating a generally very positive customer experience. Tours run from a minimum of 60 minutes up to an impressive 510 minutes – so you can choose an activity that fits perfectly with your schedule.

The price range reflects the variety of experiences on offer, starting at £7 and extending upwards to £625. This significant difference is largely due to variations in group size—smaller, private tours command a higher cost than shared tours. The duration also plays a key role; longer tours naturally involve more content and therefore a higher price point. When comparing options, consider whether you’d prefer the intimacy of a private tour or the opportunity to connect with fellow travellers during a larger group experience.

Currently, our most highly-rated option is the “Private Tour of West Cornwall Highly Varied Full Day Experience,” which boasts an exceptional 5.0/5 rating based on 129 reviews and costs £625. This suggests that full-day excursions with a more comprehensive itinerary tend to receive particularly strong feedback. However, even shorter tours can provide valuable insights into St Ives’ rich heritage and stunning coastal scenery.

We understand that embarking on a new activity can feel daunting, but we’re confident you'll find the perfect walking tour for your tastes. Ultimately, our goal is to help you discover the beauty of St Ives in a relaxed and engaging way. We believe these tours offer excellent value and provide memorable experiences for all levels of travellers.
