Dorset and Beyond was a perfect choice for us! Our ship was to dock in Portland and my husband and I had decided that we wanted to see Stonehenge while we were in port. Mike met us at our dock and whisked us away for a day of adventure. Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, lunch, the boardwalk in Weymouth and the beautiful coastal view and the Olympic rings above Portland. It was a very enjoyable day and even the weather complied! Mike looked after us all day and made sure that we were able to see everything that we’d wanted to. We enjoyed his company and the conversations that we shared. He made our day enjoyable and he watched the time so as to make sure that we returned to our ship on time. Don’t hesitate booking with Dorset and Beyond. You’ll be glad that you did!

We highly recommend Dorset and Beyond Transportation and Gary to anyone visiting Portland. We arrived in Portland on the SilverSea Silver Dawn. Though excursions are included with SilverSea, we choose to have Dorset and Beyond show us around instead. What a great choice! Gary picked us up right from the ships dock and he did a great job taking us around. Having our own guide, instead of going with a group, was wonderful and worth every penny. We could visit what we were interested in and vary plans based on the weather or our energy level. We first visited Corfe Castle, a 1000 year old fortification with an amazing history. The town of Corfe itself is worth a look. Then we visited a more “recent” site, Lulworth Castle, only 450 years old.

After the two castles, we enjoyed some natural scenery, visiting Lulworth Cove with its beautiful sea arch, Stair Hole, and a stunning bay. The town is charming as well and a good place for lunch or a snack. We chose not … Read more

We booked the tour to Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral several weeks out from actual arrival. Gary was great in all aspects of the organization, including telling us which time slots to purchase Stonehenge tickets for and where to buy them. Our ship arrived in port early so Gary contacted us and offered to start our tour early which suited our group perfectly. He accommodated special requests on the fly, like bathroom breaks, lunch in a pub and finding an ATM. It was a perfect day! Thanks, Gary, and next time we’ll bring maple cookies!

Such a pleasure to do business with. Gary was very responsive and personable. He gave us different itinerary options that suit our needs. He is very knowledgeable and very detailed with his information. I highly recommend them. Will definitely go with this company again for future private tour needs!
