Reviews - what customers say about Friendly Guides

An ideal companion for a visit to Bryher, a small island with a lot to explore.

Perfect guides for those interested in the real Cornwall

Would definitely recommend friendly Guides. Neil was very quick at responding to my emails and went above and beyond to ensure i received my map promptly. Would not hesitate in using him again.

My wife and I are celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. We honeymooned on The Isles of Scilly 50 years ago so returned last week. We wandered into the information shop on Town Beach on St. Mary's and my wife spotted your map of the island. We bought it, together with the Tresco and St. Marin's maps. Your maps are superb and we used them every day. They contain exactly what we needed to explore the islands. The little illustrations, drawings etc. add to the detail and I can recommend them as essential for any tourist visiting The Isles of Scilly.

Excellent book as always with fabulous detailed maps which are better than ordnance survey with people that know & obviously love the areas they are writing about.

Good map with well marked places of interest

First class for clarity and info.

Beautiful map Really pleased Bargin Buy too 💯😍

Great size to go into a small bag. Easy readable. A good size to unfold and hold.

Friendly Guides was very helpful in taking my order over the telephone, and sending one of their guides directly to my relative.

Very many thanks for sending me a replacement guide after I commented on my disappointment about the first guide book being imperfect. Really appreciate you reacting immediately.

I love these guides. There is so much information on the maps, and even more in the text. I ordered both this and the Lizard guide well before our holiday so as to enjoy the reading up and learn more.

Bryher is a small, magical island where there is a surprising amount to explore. This guide covers all bases, and would be an invaluable companion to new visitors as well as regulars. It packs in a lot of information, and the maps are very useful and comprehensive.

Just what I wanted. Book of local walks with detailed history of the area and very easy to use.

Excellent maps delivered quickly.

This guide is ideal as I've never been to the Scilly Isles before. It shows all the places of interest and it will really help me see the best if the isle

Just off to visit Bryher and your maps and guide book are just what we were looking for. We’re really going to enjoy exploring with them.

A wonderful souvenir. Large scale and clear-very easy to study and enjoy

We have been to this part of Cornwall many times, but this guide gave a lot of new and interesting information.

This is a great update to the Lizard guide and a great addition to the Friendly Collection, all of which give lots of useful and interesting information, maps, and suggestions of walks and places to visit. All beautifully presented in a compact little book and efficiently and speedily despatched. Thank you Friendly Guides!

An excellent pocket-sized guide to all that the Scilly Isles have to offer, with clear maps supported by succinct informative texts. The perfect handbook for any visitors.

Very easy to read - slim books. Really interesting and informative - definitely helps me plan my holiday

We ordered a St. Marys map for our recent trip to the Isles of Scilly, we’ve been to the islands before but the map was an excellent guide to areas we’ve not explored previously. I’ve now ordered the pack with all the islands in it as the first one was so helpful. Looking forward to using them next year.

Such a good idea keeping these maps in a case

I have lived on the Lizard for a few years and there are various local guides available but I bought the complete set of friendly guides to plug some gaps. The maps are quite large in scale but because they are individually relatively small, they are manageable and lightweight to take with you on a day out and cope with even in quite windy weather. They are good because of all the extra details to help you find car parks and attractions as well as navigating your way there on our sometimes quite windy roads. The information on the back provides additional details to help plan your day out. So whether you want to plan a walk on the coast path and know where you can get a cup of tea, or are looking for a dog friendly beach, you can tuck one of these maps in your bag and set off with confidence.
