Slow Tours in Cornwall
Our Cornish Slow Tours
As a local Destination Management Company, we are always keen to collaborate with other likeminded individuals and companies to deliver memorable, immersive and sustainable experiences for groups visiting Cornwall.
With our expansive experience in luxury group travel we understand the meticulous planning needed for all groups - whether you are a small family group on a walking holiday, or an organiser of a larger coach group to Cornwall.
We also want to ensure that all of our tours and itineraries leave a lasting positive impact for the local communities along the way, so we always like to suggest an additional initiative - whether it be a local minute beach clean, stopping at a lesser known hidden beach café or supporting heritage and conservation projects, your group trip will benefit the local folk too!

We have put together a list of destinations that we feel are suitable to do this Self-Guided Tour from! We can also reorganise the order of days to best suit your location or put together a bespoke experience from wherever you are!
What is a Slow Tour?
Imagine if your group had the opportunity to listen to an exclusive sea shanty performance whilst visiting a picturesque fishing village? How about learning about Cornish agriculture and then taking pleasure in sampling the local produce? Why not explore lesser-known ancient sites and then marvel at iconic coastal landscapes? Picture days of discovery, taking in everything from hidden vineyards to sub-tropical gardens whilst travelling slowly and learning about the local history and heritage of this spectacular county.
Why us?

At Cornwall Discovered, one of main things we realised during the unforgettable year 2020, when the privilege of travel was suddenly revoked, is that we want to be part of the ‘redefined travel’ era. Some of the ways we aim to do this are...
Small and slow philosophy
We pride ourselves on our small groups policy and would want to partner with companies that feel the same – to ensure that we protect the areas and destinations that we visit. Cornwall Discovered does not offer excursions to some destinations during the months of July and August in order to avoid overcrowding. We strongly believe it is vital that we leave behind the rushed and jam-packed cruise excursions, or the “tick-as-much-as-you-can-off-your-bucket-list” excursion. Our motto is firmly: Quality over quantity.
Personal Service
We love what we do and so quite simply, we will always be involved. From the initial discussion to final delivery, we take pride in our product. Customer satisfaction is imperative to us and we want to be sure that your experience with us, from the moment you get in touch, is expertly executed. We are here to support every step of the way.
Industry & Local Knowledge
Having escorted cruise groups worldwide, Cornwall Discovered has plenty of industry experience for you to utilise. Working for cultural small-ship cruise lines, group expedition and adventure travel companies - and of course not forgetting our vast local knowledge, you have all you could need for a successful trip for both your company and customer. Based in mid Cornwall, we live and breathe the Cornish air and with our vast network of Cornish contacts, you can be sure that we will always have our fingers on the local pulse!
