We are entirely Isle of Wight based

All living and working on the Island for many years (some of us, lifelong!), we have experience and knowledge of it in a way that non-Island based Isle of Wight tour providers do not.  Isle of Wight Guided Tours has happily and successfully been operating here for more than ten years now.


General and specialised knowledge coupled with boundless enthusiasm

We are a small team – all experts in different fields, over and above the detailed local knowledge that we have in common. Alongside this, we share boundless enthusiasm. We all love our Island with a passion and enjoy nothing more than sharing it and showing it off with/to our clients.


Finding the right expert guide for the job

We like nothing more than a challenge! If you throw something at us with which we are not familiar, we nearly always know who to reach out to who will be. We will then involve this specialist in your tour – very likely they themselves delivering either part or all of it. We will never take on a tour request that we are unable to fulfil to the highest level, preferring to include another local specialist whenever we feel that they will make a valuable contribution to a tour.  Our aim is to provide ultimate customer satisfaction at the same time as showcasing our Island to its best advantage. We cannot be satisfied unless you, our clients, are 100% satisfied. Not merely satisfied – but delighted. It is our fervent endeavour to exceed your expectations every time!


Bespoke private tours totally dedicated to your requirements

Because your tours are private – personalised and individual and not ‘sign up’ group tours, the whole tour is customised to what YOU want. No need for any kind of compromise on your part – we do not offer non-negotiable tours where you are only interested in half of what the tour is offering but are obliged to do the whole lot.  We negotiate the itinerary with you from the moment you first contact us, ensuring that you end up with your dream tour! We also get to know each other a little before we even meet.


Flexibility is key – affecting virtually every aspect of your tour

Our tours are not only flexible in content but also in length and price range. We normally offer moderately-priced to high-end tours.  You let us know your budget and requirements and we will do everything within our power to make things work for you. Lower budget options can also be possible – for example, by using public transport to get around. This is not just much cheaper but can be great fun and certainly provides a very different experience.


Fully bespoke or ‘off the peg’ or a combination of both

You can choose between us designing your whole tour from scratch (with assistance from yourselves) or opting for one which is more ‘ready to go’ but still maybe needs the odd tweak here and there to make it an exact fit for you. Or mix and match from several of our suggestions, maybe adding an element which is entirely your own. It goes without saying that you also choose the starting and finishing points of your tour, as well as its duration.


Every tour is unique and special

We can honestly say that no two tours are ever the same. Even if at the start it may look as if they are going to be, in reality they never are.

We have had the privilege over the years of working with many different people from various walks of life from all over the world. Some of our tours have been prestigious ones, but for us, each tour is unique and none is more important than yours! YOUR tour is just that – your tour – and is the only one you are interested in. And you can rest assured that your tour is in the safest of hands with us. We are as keen for it to be perfect as you are.


More than ten years of experience with different types of tours and clients from across the globe has helped us to hone our high standards

Our wide range of experience across the board has fed into the high level of professionalism that we have achieved.  We take the utmost pride in our work and receive wonderful praise and feedback from our customers. We love both what we do and the clients we are privileged to do it with - be they independent travellers, cruise ship or coach tour passengers, special interest groups (including language schools), corporate guests, those tracing their ancestry or whoever.


German language tours

We are able to conduct many of our tours in German as well as English. This depends entirely on which tour and guide you have.
