Guided Sightseeing Tours of Cornwall
Welcome to Cornwall Discovery Tours
Cornwall Discovery Tours offers private guided tours of Cornwall led by local guide Barry Pengelly. With a lifetime of local knowledge, Barry provides tailored sightseeing tours that take in Cornwall’s coastline, history and hidden places.
From private day tours in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles to step-on guiding for larger groups, each tour is shaped around you. Whether you want to explore well-known landmarks or discover quieter corners, we make it easy to see more of Cornwall in a single day.
Discover Cornwall this Season
Spring and summer are some of the best times to visit Cornwall, with longer days, quieter roads and the landscape at its most colourful. Our guided tours take in dramatic coastal scenery, historic sites and the filming locations of the BBC’s Poldark, as well as the much-loved village of Port Isaac from Doc Martin.
If you are planning a trip to Cornwall in 2026, a private guided tour is one of the simplest ways to see more in less time, without the stress of planning or navigating. Each day is relaxed, flexible and built around what you would most like to see.
