“We met Spencer at the castle in Portland after arriving on a Norwegian Transatlantic Cruise. He was very welcoming and organized. We headed off quickly to the beautiful countryside and the Jurassic Coast. Spencer was full of information and seems to appreciate the history and scenery as much as we did! His stops were thoughtful and ample time was given at each stop. His recommendation for food was on the money. He fit in a couple of extra stops that added to our experience. Portland and Weymouth are a beautiful part of Dorset, as seen through Spencer's knowledge and experience. Thanks for guiding us Spencer and making us laugh too!”
