⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I highly recommend the Cornwall, Devon & Stonehenge Rabbie’s tour.
I love travelling with Rabbie’s because the routes and the guides are fantastic.
Also, they have mini vans and it’s always more comfortable to travel as a small group.

🚗 Need a car for this road trip?
If you don’t have your own car, I’d really recommend renting one — it gives you the flexibility to stop at each waterfall and explore at your own pace.
I usually use DiscoverCars to compare prices and find the best deals across different rental companies.
👉 It’s really easy to use:
- Compare multiple providers in one place
- Cheaper than booking direct
- Free cancellation on most options
- Their 3rd party insurance is a lot cheaper
- They have a great customer service for claims (though I hope you won’t have to use it!
