Best tour in Portland (UK)! - Very nice, well done Lina! Nice locations to visit! Timing was good at all locations. It might be good to warn/explain persons with mobility issues of the challenges at the various sites in the advertising. Surprised how commercialised Lulworth had become..... still worth the visit :)

A great day, lots of learning and fun - Our tour guide and his wife gave excellent information about the towns and coiuntryside as we traveled, then talked about the history, geology, and significance of the sites we visited. I highly recommend viator, and will use them again for excursions.

Exciting Jurassic Coast Tour! - This was the perfect tour to take in all the wonderful sites of the Jurassic Coast! Our guide was great and so knowledgeable! We were given adequate time to experience each of the sites, and had leisurely time in Weymouth to stroll through the village, have some lunch, and do some shopping. It was an unforgettable experience!

Amazing and Good for Kids - This was a great tour. Andy and Tracy were amazing and extremely knowledgable of the area and history. Sam worked magic with the Harry Potter bus. Andy was patient and great with my girls (6 and 8) who loved him and talked his ear off. We had extra time and took a trip up to view the coast and take pictures! Highly recommend!

Great Tour but lots of walking! - Great experience with a great guide and driver. There was a lot of walking and climbing that I wasn’t expecting and the bus (coach) was too large to get us close to two of the sites. I might consider the same tour in a smaller vehicle next time.
