Experience the Jurassic Coast with the locals, bold landscapes, big views, authentic stories.
We kick off in Weymouth and head straight for the heavy hitters. Stand beneath the epic limestone arch of Durdle Door, then explore the perfectly curved bay of Lulworth Cove, where the geology is as wild as the scenery.
Next, we dive inland to Corfe Castle. Dramatic ruins, sweeping Purbeck views, and a village that feels frozen in time.
Then it is out to Portland. Snap the classic shot at the Olympic Rings overlooking Chesil Beach and finish at Portland Bill, where rugged cliffs and open sea remind you exactly why this coastline is UNESCO protected.
This is not you run of mill minibus tour, it's bold, immersive, and off the beaten track. If you want to see the Jurassic Coast properly, this is the tour!

Customer reviews
We were greeted kindly by our wonderful guide Spencer and got through the day with wonderful stories and humor by him. Spencer had read himself excellently as a guide in all the places we visited and highly recommended to undertake this tour with him as a guide. For us, it was the second time we had met Dorset Tours in Portland have gone on the road and again it is excellent so a must for everyone
