 Verified Can’t recommend this talk enough.
As already mentioned you feel as if a friend is taking you for a walk and sharing so much information with you. We have regularly visited Porthleven but David pointed out things we had never noticed and so much more. He explained and confirmed things we had wondered about. Really worth doing and am sure everyone in the party will enjoy it.

 Verified Fun, professional, informative
This is an exceptional 'tour'. Feels more Like a friend taking you for a walk. It feels easy and fluid but it is underpinned with an extraordinary amount of knowledge and endless genuine enthusiasm . David gave us an insight to the history of Porthleven with great respect, even honour to its people past and present. Fun, professional, informative. I highly recommend.

 Verified A deeper appreciation of Porthleven and Cornwall.
David is a knowledgeable and passionate guide and storyteller. His enthusiasm never flagged and he knows how to situate his stories in the long history of Cornwall from the saints of the 5th century through to the present day. On our two trips to Porthleven he made such a difference to our understanding of what we were seeing. Thank you, David!

 Verified 4 Hours Very Well Spent
Despite it being bitterly cold David made the 4 hour tour (that flew by) with his knowledge. Great value for money but this tour and the one on the 12th Dec are free with any donations going to ‘The Foodbank’. Would recommend this tour to anyone that would like to learn more history and facts about this amazing place.

 Verified Porthleven then and now
An excellent tour. David was very knowledgeable and informative. We have strong family links to Porthleven and he was able to entertain us with stories of important historical facts and personal insights into days gone by in this lovely harbour town.
