Looe Ghost Tour
Best for: travelers who want a short, atmospheric walk with a local story focus

It moves through both East Looe and West Looe, with stops in streets, near the beachfront, along Fore Street, by the quay, and around pubs, shops, museums, and the bridge area.

West Cornwall Tour with Poldark Filming Locations
Best for: travelers who want a longer outing with private transport and a wider Cornwall route
This is the longest of the three options and is structured as a guided day tour across West Cornwall rather than a town walk. The confirmed inclusions are private transportation, WiFi on board, and an air-conditioned vehicle, which makes it the only option in this set with transport built in. The itinerary notes point to a mix of smaller roads, quieter places, popular attractions, and several named stops connected with scenery, local towns, and Poldark filming locations. Lunch, snacks, and alcoholic beverages are listed as exclusions. It suits travelers who want a fuller day and prefer covering a broader route with transport handled for them.

- Private transportation and air-conditioned vehicle are confirmed.
- WiFi on board is included.
Choosing a Cornwall itinerary style
