Embark on a half-day tour of the Isle of Man, exploring its Viking history and visiting the Braaid, St. Johns, and Peel Castle. Learn about the island's historical tapestry as you visit the Braddan Old Church and the House of Manannan.
Start your tour at the Braddan Old Church, a site showcasing the Isle’s remarkable collection of intricately carved Viking stone crosses. These artistic relics provide a glimpse into the island’s historical tapestry.
Continue to the Braaid, where echoes of the past resonate within an Iron Age longhouse and two Norse longhouses. These structures are a testament to occupation spanning until the 11th or 12th century. Next, head to St. Johns, home to the Tynwald Hill. Comprising stones from all of the Isle’s 17 ancient parishes, this hill is the backdrop for the Island’s annual
open-air parliamentary gathering, Tynwald. Finally, visit the House of Manannan, where the mythical sea god guides you through the island’s Celtic, Viking, maritime heritage.

Do Not Take this Isle of Man Tour

1.00BEWARE! This was a different trip than the advertised and paid for trip. Those of us on this tour are trying to be refunded/repaid. We had a driver who was told to be a tour guide at the last minute. There were 4 or five groups taking this tour. Some bought through Viator and some through another vendor but our itinerary looked the same and pricing looked the same. I’ve always had a good experience with Viator but this was NOT okay. The driver was given a different itinerary and our “lunch stop” was limited to 15 minutes which meant the restaurant could not accommodate anyone. The driver was a kind person (Martin) and hood-winked into a job he was not prepared to do. We did not have the tickets at the castle (which were prepaid/ included). The castle ticketing person looked at our contracts and saw we were charged so gave us free entrance for 15 minutes, hoping to be repaid. BEWARE!

1.00The tour purchased was not what we paid for. Expect a full refund. No admission tickets were used as we did not visit the sites paid for.

1.00We only visited one place from this itinerary. The Peele Castle. Our driver was given a list of places to take us that did not match the itinerary we were expecting. We ended up at another castle The Rushen. We had to pay the admission price of 15 pounds each. Then only 30 minutes to get through the castle. No visit to the Braaden Church, no Norse longhouses, or the House of Manannan. This tour was very disappointing being that it was nothing compared to the description of activities we were suppose to experience. The driver was great, but would have been nice to have an actual tour guide that knew about the places we visited. A microphone would have been nice so the whole group could hear what he was saying as he was driving. Time was wasted walking down and back the pier to see statues of The Bee Gees. More time wasted driving around the buildings of hotels by the port. These two things were not listed in the itinerary. So that wasted time would have been better spent exploring the castles more. The final stop was the peele castle …. We were given about 15 minutes to walk around that castle. There is no way to see the whole site in 15 minutes. No accommodations were made for the admission fees to be paid for the group here. We stood outside, wasting time, as our driver spoke with the gate attendant to try to figure out how your company would pay for entry, This was the most unorganized excursion I have ever been on. Upon return to our starting point, I spoke with the gentlemen who greeted us about why this happened and he seemed to just not care. He did state that they added the Rushen castle as an addition. “An addition that was an extra cost for us”? Don’t you think you should ask guests if they want the extra expense?
Complete mess up.

1.00No guide. Driver had completely different itinerary than what was advertised. He finally got us around to many of the stops, but no commentary, no stops for lunch, and no admission to promised attractions, except that I talked them into admitting them.
