For many people, Guernsey’s rural charm and a more leisurely pace of life draws them back, time and time again. This Guernsey Highlights tour brings together the very best the island has to offer, including St Peter Port and Castle Cornet. The tour will also include stops at La Vallette Underground Military Museum, and The Little Chapel on the half day coach tour, as well as a visit to Sausmarez Manor. The tour offers the opportunity to sail from St Peters Port to Sark by ferry. With no cars on the Island a tractor-drawn bus can transfer you up to Harbour Hill!

Day 2: Island Tour of Sausmarez Manor
An island coach tour takes us to the fascinating La Vallette Underground Military Museum, Fort Grey and the Shipwreck Museum. A highlight will be our stop at The Little Chapel, as much a curiosity as a work of art, totally covered in shells and broken bits of china. In the afternoon we visit Sausmarez Manor, a family home, with parts dating back to the 12th Century. The estate houses a curious sculpture park and a large bamboo forest.
Day 3: St Peter Port and Castle Cornet
Today we have a full day to explore St Peter Port, Guernsey’s picturesque capital, starting with a sightseeing visit to Castle Cornet – St Peter’s Port harbour guide for more than 800 years. A guided tour takes you onto the battlements for views towards the neighbouring islands. After the tour explore the onsite museums, but don’t miss the daily firing of the noon-day gun.
