Tour Guernsey

Take a walk with Annette Henry, a gold-accredited tour guide who was born and bred on the island, and has been offering guided tours for the past 20 years.  You’ll discover the island’s rich heritage, including how Guernsey fared during the bubonic plague, witch trials, cholera epidemic and the English Civil War.   

Annette will also share the reality of the five years of German Occupation during World War II, with personal stories of demilitarisation, evacuation, deportation and the eventual liberation of the islanders. She’ll also point out spots mentioned in the Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society film, based on the best selling novel by Mary Ann Shaffer.  

Price: From £26 per person  

Join Amanda Johns, Silver Accredited Tour Guide, on a tour around our beautiful island. Drive through St Peter Port, passing the Liberation Monument, to Fort George, overlooking Castle Cornet. Continue to Jerbourg for a quick stop to stand on top of a WWll bunker, viewing the other islands, and walk out to the cliffs opposite the Doyle Monument for spectacular views. Then proceed to the German Occupation Museum, which is privately owned, for a guided tour inside. Afterwards, visit either Batterie Mirus or Batterie Scharnhorst, for a guided tour, both locations being WWll fortifications situated on private land. Lastly, take in a drive along the beautiful west coast, passing various WWll bunkers along the route.

Experience Amanda John’s half-day tour with lunch, but continue on from Batterie Mirus or Scharnhorst to Pleinmont to view Batterie Dollman and walk out to the MP4 tower – an exclusive itinerary for our guests. It is only when you stand right next to it that you have an appreciation for the size. Continue along the west coast, stopping at Le Guet - from here the view over Cobo is stunning. This location was utilised by the soldiers due to the excellent views out over the coastline.
