We all felt so lucky to have Jon…”

He was an amazing driver and took us to some lesser known beautiful spots to photograph that were breath taking. If your going to do a tour and don't want to spend the time waiting on others to load up on the large busses I would highly recommend this tour. Morris was such an amazing driver that my wife wanted a true Cornish pastie and…”
