Chris is very entertaining and knowledgable. He has a great sense of humor too! His small tour is the way to go for a close up view and his unique perspective on these historic sites. The secret places distinguish from the other guys. A must see and do when in London. More

My husband and I went on the tour to Stonehenge, Bath and 2 secret places on May 7th. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Chris and his very comfortable bus William. Chris is an excellent tour guide and even had umbrella's for us in case we had not brought our own. He points out a lot of interesting sights along... More

My husband and I are on an one-month visit to Western Europe; London, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Nice, Monaco, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. Therefore, I booked all of our tours, hotels based on recommendations from my fellow TA members. So far, my experiences have been spot on to your recommendations and ratings!

During our short stay in London in April we took one day excursion to Oxford, Stratford with Chris. In spite of cold and rainy weather he made our trip wonderful. His care, knowledge and enthusiasm made it really unforgettable. My mother and I really enjoyed it. I will recommend his company to all my friends. More

My sister booked the Stratford-upon-Avon, The Cotswolds, and Oxford tour for us last April 29. Although the weather was pretty bad--it was raining pretty much the whole tour--Chris made the most of it under the circumstances. It really wasn't the best weather for a walking tour of Shakespeare's birthplace, so he just gave us time to look around the place,... More

Awesome! Small group, very well organized, no rushing, plenty of time to explore. Chris is great. “Secret places” are off the beaten track and are totally worth seeing. Price is just right. Visited April 28, 2012. More

I had a stereotyped notion of bus tours, so I went with low expectations. I have to say my trip to Bath and Stonehenge with the English bus was the best day during my trip to London. The tour guide Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. One thing I liked about th English bus tour was the small size of... More

I joined Chris, the owner and guide, on his Stonehenge and Bath day trip. It was a great value small group trip, and Chris was very enthusiastic and knowledgable along the entire trip in the small bus he drives. The trip was very comfortable and there was plenty of time given at each attraction to explore every bit, so you... More

Chris is the owner, driver and tour guide. He really cares and gives out a ton of information while speeding you to your destination. We toured Stonehenge , Bath and other secret places. The full day tour seemed to go by in a minute. Chris provided a walking tour while in bath and learned so many things ( you would... More
