Island Explorer Guided Tours hits the road!

Today was the official launch of our Island Tour service and to kick us off, the mayor of Ryde, Councillor Wayne Whittle came down to cut the ribbon. Island Explorer founder, Neil Hartland provided a bottle of bubbly for the invited guests who attended the launch before heading off on the 'Round the Island' tour which will operate every Monday and Saturday through out the season (except Bestival and Festival weekends).

The tours will be operated using a 16 seat air-conditioned mini-coach (pictured) and complimentary hot drinks can be obtained from various outlets en-route by presenting a card 'voucher' which each passenger will be given at the start of the tour. Cold drinks will also be provided.

Visitors who would like to join a tour can either book on line in advance or call our dedicated booking line: (01983) 475399 to secure a seat. Or they can just turn up at the departure point near the hovercraft footbridge on Ryde Esplanade on the off chance that there are seats available. The coach even has a facility for paying by card!
