I'm from Guernsey originally. This is the best review of our beautiful island that I have seen ❤

[brandieo]

Simply enchanting! What a blessing for you to be able to travel around & what a blessing for us that you include us in your adventures. Many thanks!!!!

Our family absolutely love Guernsey. The island is beautiful and St Peters Port is lovely. The island was so floral in summer when we visited, so much history as well. We ended up buying some Guernsey flowers online when we got back home from Guernsey Flowers by Post - some very beautiful Freesias that reminded us of the island. We will be going again this year!!! Brilliant island. I love this travel guide, really sums up the Island!

I lived in Guernsey for a few years about 20 years ago. This video brought back so many precious memories. I simply loved this island. It is definitely worth a visit. I plan to visit again with my family one day soon. It really is a magic place for the soul.

I have to say, sometimes it takes a video from someone else for me to sit back and appreciate what we have here in Guernsey. Fantastic video, thank you.

This brings back mixed memories. I visited Guernsey frequently Christmases and summers during the 25 years I was with my ex, as his family live there. I never went to the Little Chapel, as the family said only tourists go there! I liked seeing the ormer shells used, as they are a mollusc - and seafood - only found around the Channel Islands in the UK, which are something like an abalone. If not cooked properly, it can feel like trying to chew a car tyre! That said, eating seafood in Guernsey is a must if you like it. The chancres (spider crabs) are delicious. The quality is excellent. If buying it to cook yourself, there’s a good place near the Cup and Saucer. Hauteville House is well worth a visit. Victor Hugo made some of the furniture from other pieces of furniture, so there are some curiosities, not least the desk where he wrote standing up. The views from the top are great. If you are wanting to go to beaches, as Guernsey is shaped like triangle, depending on the wind direction, you can always find a sheltered beach. In the summers we would sail to the coves and to Herm and Sark. If staying on the island for longer than a weekend a boat trip to those islands is worth it. Your pronunciation of some of the place names are interesting. I’m not surprised as they are an odd mix of English and semi-French but with zero consistency. The same applies to the French or old Guernsey surnames.
I love your videos. Always interesting and informative.

Enjoyed this vid very much. Beautiful place. You really do make my Saturday a very special day that I look forward to. Thank you so much. Blessings

Fantastic work guys, thank you for showing us the beautiful Guernsey.

Wonderful and beautiful island. My great grandfather imported the first registered herd of Guernsey cattle shipped into the state of Idaho in the very early 1900’s when they started importing a large number of Guernsey’s to America. I have seen the registration papers on each cow, which are now archived with another family member. Thank you for another incredible tour.

Thank you for this beautiful video
This will be a must visit when we fly over from Canada 🇨🇦
It has everything we are looking for when visiting Europe and your video has sealed the deal
Please keep up the great work I so enjoy watching them and learning about new places to explore

Before I was posted there with work, I hadn't even heard of the place. 8 best years of my life, fell in love with the place, my kids were born there also and it was simply the most perfect, super safe, healthy environment for them in those early years. Sad when we had to live but we return annually to revisit the places we love. Ohhh and I do miss l'escargo at the Petit Bistro.

[helenwoodason]

That was a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. As a child I spent many happy family holidays there. Back in the mid 70’s I was blown away by the little chapel, told my mum I was going to get married there one day. Oh the innocents of childhood.
Great video of this beautiful island. Thank you. 😊

[penelopehammerton]

Thank you again for your well presented videos. You certainly pack a lot into them. I am not able to travel like I used to and so really enjoy traveling with you. Always happy when one of your videos appear 😁🤗
