The tour was lovely. Picked us promptly by 11, went around Bournemouth, Poole and finally lulworth cove and durdle door where we spent 3 hours, heading back around 4pm. The tour guide was a lovely gentleman, extremely accommodating to our group of 4 including a baby. He was also knowledgable and humorous. The views were absolutely stunning.

It was an amazing experience! I went with my boyfriend and it was romantic and an amazing memory. I highly recommend it as the views were amazing and worth the walk. It was beautiful! If your in Bournemouth dont miss out on this attraction. There was also enough time to get to see everything and it was a sunny day which made the day amazing. Was disappointing to find out It was £30 if you book when in Bournemouth though where I had to pay a little more online for the same thing.
Excellent 👍nice tour guide

All of it was nice. Paul was nice, funny and enthusiastic. He showed us The Stair Hole. The views are so breathtaking and majestic. The walk is much better done with someone: friends, family or a special someone. Would definitely recommend this! 💙

Great day excursion from Bournemouth. Our driver, Gerry, was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and very accommodating. It was a cold, rainy day when we went and he even gave an under prepared tourist his jacket.
Excellent service from...

What a wonderful view and a great guide 😊
Me and my 10 year old son really enjoyed everything about the trip. Bonus was we only had to walk one side of the big hill from Durdle Doir to Lulworth Cove.
Definitely recommend this trip.
Thank you Tim for being a fantastic guide 😀

We travelled Durdle Door via Discover Dorset Tours and it was an amazing experience. Both the driver and the guide were very friendly. Had a smooth experience with my 3 year old daughter.

The departure for this tour was in Bournemouth - not Weymouth. I typed in Weymouth when I booked it because that is where we were staying. Viator should Inform customers that Bournemouth is an hour train ride from Weymouth. Tour itself was nice but one couple had entire group wait over an hour because they were “eating lunch” when we were scheduled to return back to departure point. Our nice driver was told by manager to wait for them at least an hour. A set departure time needs to be inforced by tour company-to avoid delay of entire van load of people who’s plans were impacted. He was nice enough to drive us back to hotel instead of taking another train trip. When a customer types in a city, the tours that are offered should depart in that city - NOT an hour away. Please fix this on your website.
Response from Host , Jul 2022
Hi Barbara, thanks for your review and sorry for you poor experience.
I totally agree with you about the problem with our listing coming up when you searched for Weymouth. Could I ask that you please direct your complaint regarding the Viator search to Viator themselves, as we have no control over where they link us to. I have tried searching for our tour on the Weymouth listings, but have not been able to find it, so maybe they have fixed it already.
Regarding the confusion about the departure time, I can only apologise. The guide made an error, he was new to that tour, and has now been given further training. Sincere apologies if it inconvenienced you on the day.
We always aim to get to Durdle Door by 12:30/45 and then the tour departs from Lulworth Cove at 4pm, giving you at least three hours on the Jurassic Coast. If, due to traffic we arrive late, then we leave a little later so you always get your three hours to enjoy both beautiful locations.

Our tour guide Paul was AMAZING so kind and funny! He has SO much knowledge about the local and surrounding areas and filled our day with puns and amazing facts all the way! What an amazing guy- and an equally amazing trip. Beautiful views, made all the better by excellent weather! I would highly recommend going with Discover Dorset for a tour!
Good half day trip

I can't even begin to describe how awesome this trip was! I just came in for the day and feel like I go SO much for my money. All the stops were absolutely breathtaking. It's a steep walk for Durdle Door, so bring your walking shoes and take your time. It's worth it.
Fab trip! Would absolutely recommend

I had a great trip to Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door. Paul was lovely and gave us fantastic insight into the history of the Jurassic coast. I had plenty of time to explore down by the coast and marvelled at the beautiful views!
I felt very safe as a solo traveller and I would highly recommend!

Wonderful half day trip with friendly and funny guide Gerry . I had amazing trip and had enough time to see the sights and stroll around the beach and cliffs.
I was on my solo trip so I really felt well on the tour.Highly recommended to everyone if you are in Bournemouth and can’t drive around here is the place to book you tour to amazing Durdle Door and Lulworth Cove .
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
