The Best of the Isle of Man

Private Isle of Man Tour

Overview

Discover the island on our Best of the Isle of Man Tour, a private guided experience with your own driver-guide and vehicle.

See some of the island’s most memorable sights in a day designed around your group. From the Great Laxey Wheel and the TT Mountain Course to historic Peel, Cregneash and the spectacular southern coastline, we’ll introduce you to the places, stories and landscapes that make the Isle of Man unique.

Our suggested itinerary gives you the best of the island, but because this is a private experience, we can adapt the day around you. Interested in Viking heritage? Want to spend more time in Peel? Visiting the island for the TT? Tell us what interests you, and we’ll help shape your day.

Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning to discover more, enjoy the Isle of Man at your own pace, with your own group.

Is this the same as the Taste of the Isle of Man tour?
Our Private Isle of Man Tour is based around many of the same island highlights, but the experience is exclusively for your group. Rather than joining a scheduled shared tour, you can discuss your interests with us and adapt the itinerary to suit you.

Can we change the itinerary?
Yes. The suggested itinerary is a starting point. If there are particular places, interests or experiences you’d like to include, tell us when you enquire and we’ll see how we can build them into your day.

How many people can we take?
Private tours are available for groups of up to 14 people, subject to vehicle availability.

Can you collect us from our hotel?
Yes. Private pickup can be arranged from your accommodation or another agreed location.

Can we book the tour for fewer than six people?
Yes. Unlike our shared sightseeing tours, the private experience is available for smaller groups. The price is based on the private vehicle and itinerary rather than individual seats.

Can we include something that’s not on the itinerary?
Absolutely. That’s one of the benefits of going private. If there’s somewhere specific you’d like to visit or an interest you’d like to explore, let us know.

Can cruise passengers book this tour?
Yes. We can work around cruise arrival and departure times and discuss the best itinerary for the time you have available on the island.

What if we want something completely different?
If you’re looking for a Private Isle of Man Tour that goes beyond our suggested itinerary at all, take a look at our Private & Bespoke Isle of Man Experiences. We can create an itinerary from scratch around your interests.
