A fellow student and I were studying abroad in the UK for three months, so we decided to see most of the country in that time. We are on a student's budget, so we had to book much of our travel through quick day tours. For example, we couldn't spend days in Paris, one seemed like enough. Our first trip... more

My wife booked a trip to Blenheim Palace & The Cotswolds for herself and her mother on Sunday the 13th December, departing from Victoria at 08.20am. Upon arrival at the Golden Tours office she was told that the trip had been cancelled. There was no prior notification from them, while she was in the office someone told her that they... more

My son and I recently spent four days in England and Margo Stewart was easily one of the highlights of our trip. When we come back to England we will definitely be on a tour she is hosting—whatever the itinerary. She is an extraordinary combination of history, personality, patience, and energy. She even made history interesting to my 13 year... more

The tour guide Peter does not meet with all of the customers before leaving to Paris. Once you get in Paris you have no idea where to go because you have no idea who the tour guide is or where to meet. Me and my husband had to call the main office to track him down upon arriving in Paris.... more

On our way to Africa, we had planned a stop in London for 4 days. We had every intention of doing all the touristy stuff we could do in those 4 days before hitting the real jewel in our vacation plans. We decided we would try one of the bus tours we had seen because we were a little too... more

Thank you for your feedback. The first portion of your feedback is in relation to the time spent at each location. These tours are designed as a snap shot of London, and are aimed at clients who would like to see as much as possible in one day. They are introductory tours, and not in-depth private visits. Like all other...

i took a night tour of London that included the London Eye. It was in September either the 18th, 19th or 20th -- cannot remember. The tour itself was a bit rushed. The guy didn't have many interesting stories or anything to say. He was a nice person but it was a bit rushed and when we got to the... more

Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for taking the time to comment on our tours, however I am concerned that you did not write to us directly with your complaint. From what I can see, you took the tour on September 18th, with 9 other people on the tour. The night tour is designed as a panoramic tour, as described in our...

I travelled via Eurostar on Golden Tours on September 10, 2009 from London to Paris for the day. Our guide Cyril: one of the best ones! He answered everyone’s question as if they were the most important person there . On the panorama tour throughout Paris, I was impressed with the commentary he provided as we passed by each site... more

My family and I were in London in May and signed up for the 1 day trip by train from London to Paris. The tour was very rushed and not organized. We were told by Golden tours we would be picked up a a certain time and location in Paris after we were dropped off. The bus never showed up... more

Thank you for your comments. Please accept my apologies if you were not satisfied with the tour. From your comments I can only deduce that you had booked the escorted Paris tour. When you were given your tickets at St Pancras train station, you were also given an information letter which clearly states that when the train arrives in Paris...

I booked this tour the night before the morning trip so it was very last minute. It was important to me as it was my Aunt's final day in the UK. She arranged a great trip for me when I went to the US so I wanted to return the favour except there was only 1 day to do it.... more

My husband and I recently booked the Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath tour while we were in London. We had such a wonderful time! This was largely due to our fabulous tour guide, Jess! She was so nice, so enthusiastic, so knowledgeable and so organized that she made the entire experience a really memorable one. We enjoyed all three of the... more
