Great Way to See Dorset

Published on Oct, 2024

Really intersting tour of Dorcet. Hannah was the guide with a modern van. Since my wife and I were the only tourists...we were able to custmoize the tour for the day. Hannah (who is owner of Jurassic Jouneys) was very accomodating and fun to be with...she knows her way around..knows her history of area as she lives there. Tour seems expensive but when we were finished...I thought it was a geat deal...within an hour I felt like I was with a friend or relative who lived in the area and showed me the non-tourist things that make it special. We even got to walk around where she grew up! If you have the time...take the tour wiht Hannah.
