We came across the tour by chance and we were very glad we did. Our driver was very helpful and gave the most unique and funny commentary we've ever heard on a tour! We got to see plenty of other interesting sites along the way and although the road was bumpy, the bus wasn't uncomfortable at all. They organised the... More

Met with a friendly welcome on board the purple bus, interesting commentary on the way through the beautiful countryside and helped through the gate. Met on the way out and dropped back to bath. Perfect trip to stonehenge, definitely recommend to travel with SCARPER! Also good to know you are supporting a local business rather than a large corporation! More

I travelled with my nieces and our driver was John. We all found the day to be fun, informal yet well organised, informative, relaxed, massively enjoyable and interesting (despite the cold and wind!) Offers for similar tours were much more expensive however they were also bigger tours on larger buses and would have been less interactive. John was fabulous and... More

We travelled to Stonehenge with Dan. Once everyone was made welcome it was down to business. His commentary was excellent without the excessive chatter that some tour guides inflict on poor tourists. The tour bus was a perfect size and very comfortable. His knowledge of the area was excellent and it was great value for money. Do youself a favour... More

Did the Stonehenge Tour with my boyfriend and in-laws visting from New Zealand, and really enjoyed it. Leisurely bus journey down to Stonehenge with our very friendly, funny and informative driver pointing out sights and telling stories and anecdotes along the way. No queuing for tickets, which was awesome, just in we went. Be aware, this is not a guided... More

According to website 'no need to book, just show up at the orange grove behind the abbey'. Unfortunately this is not the case - bus was already full with prebooked passengers. We were the first people there, 15 minutes before departure and told by the driver to stand at the side of the bus in case there were cancellations. Once... More

We are also very disappointed to have received a negative review from someone who was clearly misinformed. Our website and brochure both state that booking in advance is recommended which is why everyone else had made reservations. We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and to review our tour without partaking of it seems quite misleading. More

My wife and I took the Scarper tour of Stonehenge, and we're glad we did. The tour was relaxing and most informative. Dan, the owner/driver was personable and outgoing. His descriptions and explanations of the sights along the way added to our enjoyment of the tour. As an added bonus, he got us through the entrance gate without having to... More

We chose Scarper tours to visit Stonehenge as it was the cheapest and looked interesting as you get some information about the surrounding area on the way. The driver was lovely and friendly and I found the journey really interesting as he pointed out things to see on our way to Stonehenge and information about Bath! It was very relaxed,... More

Stonehenge tour is excellent & affordable. We had a friendly, knowledgeable driver who pointed out various interesting items on the journey there. No queuing as he buys tickets for the whole group and within minutes we were in. If you are a N.T. member take your membership card, you will then get free entry to the monument and only have...
