Guided Tours of St Ives run drop on  history tours on Mondays and Fridays at 11am and drop on art tours on Thursdays at 11am.  The tours all meet outside the Tourist Information Office in St Ives. They cost £5 and last about an hour and a half with plenty of opportunities to sit. The routes are as level and as easy as is possible in St Ives. Monday and Friday are ‘St Ives Then and Now’ history and quirky information about St Ives. Thursday’s tour is ‘St Ives in the Frame’ a historical perspective to the art of St Ives.

The tours or variations can also be booked at times to suit by any number from one upwards (There is a small extra charge for very small groups). 07816 180639

Tours run whatever the weather! In very bad weather we do the history tour from a wonderful indoor vantage point so don’t be put off if it is torrential rain.

Also remember if you can’t make the times of the drop on tours you are welcome to ring to book an alternative time to suit.
