“Wherever there is a hole in the earth, you will find a Cornishman at the bottom” (anon.) This Cornish mining tour will explain the significance of the Cornish mining industry and the reason why the Cornish were in such demand for their skills in deep mining all around the world.
We offer tours from Penzance, tours from St Ives and tours from Newquay. In fact, we are happy to arrange pick ups from across Cornwall.
Kernow Tours is small, home-grown private touring business covering the whole of Cornwall.
Run by a passionate Cornish local tour guide, the experiences on offer weave a magical combination of iconic Cornish landmarks, majestic and expansive beaches and idyllic fishing villages and harbours.
But that’s not the whole story…
At Kernow Tours, we believe the magic of Cornwall lies in its lesser-known spots. Our private tours of Cornwall take you off the beaten path to visit secluded locations that even many locals haven’t seen!
Neolithic stone circles and underground burial chambers, medieval churches that contain ancient wooden carvings within, engine houses signifying tin mines underneath – our adventure-filled tours offer a deep dive into the region’s rich heritage and past.
Our mission is to deliver completely unique Private Tours of Cornwall – vehicle based but with plenty of opportunity to get out and immerse yourselves in the sights and sounds of the ‘real’ Cornwall. You’ll even have the opportunity to walk little stretches of the Cornish coastal path if you wish!
You’ll be led by Conrad – a professional Tour Guide and historian, who will use his skillset as a former teacher to bring the past alive in the places you visit.
Choose from eight, uniquely curated Private Tours of Cornwall from the ‘menu’ OR contact us directly to begin the conversation about planning a bespoke experience (1 or multi-day tours) of Cornwall for you and your loved ones.
On the day of your private tour, we’ll have a comfortable vehicle waiting outside your accommodation ready to take you on a journey of discovery. There is so much history to impart and Cornwall’s culture and customs will intertwine with tales of piracy, invasions, shipwrecks, battles and witchcraft!
Ancient hillforts, Cornish scientific endeavour and stories of heartbreaking disasters will all mingle to give you a meaningful insight into the identity of the Cornish people and Cornwall’s place in the world. Packed with historical context, you’ll enjoy a lively, engaging and fun experience-with so much to see and take in. However, we also understand that you’re on holiday, so the day will feel relaxed and unhurried.
We’re confident that a ‘Kernow Tour’ will be the highlight of your holiday…
