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. Just turn up.
Drop on tours end for the winter on Friday 4th November. Restart Monday March 5th 2012. During the winter months tours can be booked by any number. Minimum charge £20. In bad weather do consider an indoor history talk. I have some wonderful old photos to look at. The Art tour can also be done partly inside.
The tours all meet outside the Guildhall, Street an Pol just up from the Arts Club or down from Subway! 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.
If you can’t make the above times please ring to book a time that is suitable for you. Booked tours are available all year round for singles, couples and groups of any size and can be tailored to suit your particular interests. Personal tours can be arranged.

Tours run whatever the weather! In very bad weather we do the history tour from a wonderful indoor vantage point I have some interesting old photos so don’t be put off if it is torrential rain. In fact it is not a bad activity for a rainy day.
We now present the new Literary Trail only available to book.
