About
It’s a day of magic, imagination, and inspiration.
Many have gazed upon Stonehenge and wondered how the enormous standing stones ended up like that. Some believe the wizard Merlin worked his magic to create them. Others imagine aliens are involved. While some agree it was the Romans. Standing stones constantly inspire the imagination and on this tour you get to see not just one, but two of these amazing constructs.
And it doesn’t stop with these monuments. Many know the Cotswolds as a place of quintessential beauty and it’s time for you to see for yourself. From movie set locations to fascinating history, you’ll love exploring this beautiful region.

- Freedom179269406790 contributionsGreat ExperienceOur tour from Bristol was great! Our tour guide, Dan was very informative, not only about the places we visited but he also told us useful things along the way to the Oxford & Cotswold. Recommended for those who need a countryside getaway from BristolWritten 23 July 2024
- Kerry C0 contributionsFantastic. Small bus manoeuvred down all the gorgeous lanes of CornwallAlan our driver/ guide was very knowledgeable about this area and took us to little surprise beaches and locations off the beaten track. Very friendly and funny guy who had us all organised and sorted with toilet locations, places to grab a bite to eat at each stop. Such gorgeous locations and my husband and I loved the 16 seater Mercedes van that was small enough for Alan to manoeuvrearound those tight Cornwall lanes with great skill. The beaches and villages in Cornwall and Tintagel were stunning. Could charge devices on bus, an added bonusWritten 5 June 2024
- U6379QGhelenm0 contributionsBrilliant an absolute must doI would highly recommend this tour , you get to go to two amazing towns , and you get time to go to wells cathedral , and Glastonbury abbey , the cider tasting experiance was good . The last stop cheddar gorge was amasing , I went to the caves , which was an unforgettable experiance .i also had time to go to the shops there too. On the journey the guide talks about all the history of the places , and plays good music associated with the towns. Loved it,Written 5 November 2023
- Safari137591998900 contributionsAn amazing trip by Rabbie'sWe toured with Rabbie’s from Bristol to the south of Wales...what an amazing trip! We enjoy the small group tours for many reasons: comfort, ability to go a bit off the beaten track, and the camaraderie with fellow travelers and the driver/guide. From along the southern coast of Wales out to St Davids and then back again through the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, we visited many incredible places. Our driver/guide Kate was a delight. She was one of the most friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting people you could ever meet! She was also a very skilled driver and could navigate tiny backroads while telling fascinating history and tales. Kate, thank you so much for making our trip so incredibly fun!Written 20 September 2023
- Safari137591998900 contributionsAn amazing trip by Rabbie'sWe toured with Rabbie's from Bristol to Cornwall and Devon...what an amazing trip! We enjoy the small group tours for many reasons: comfort, ability to go a bit off the beaten track, and the camaraderie with fellow travelers and the driver/guide. Cornwall and Devon are very beautiful and we visited many incredible places; I cannot choose a favorite. Read the Rabbie's itinerary and go! Our driver/guide Barney is one of the most friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting people you could ever meet! He is also a very skilled driver and can navigate tiny hedged backroads while telling fascinating history and tales. Barney, thank you for making our trip so incredibly fun!Written 20 September 2023
- Extraordinary5267370 contributionsThe tour operator was good but the stops and time spent places were not what i expected.Disappointing amount of time in Falmouth also paid to go to Tintagel Castle we ended up only having an hour and 15 minutes here. Not enough timeWritten 20 September 2023
- Freedom2105230 contributionsMagic all the wayRecently, I returned from my holidays; it was a memorable experience. We were a small group of eight who bonded well during the trip, and Barny, our skipper, made everything perfect! ‘Barny the Bard’ is full of stories; we heard about Lorna Doone, Tom Faggus and his strawberry mare Winnie, Jamaica Inn, Mary Anning, and not to forget, the temperamental cows, among others. We enjoyed great music on our way, too; got loads of information on local celebrated singers, bands and their performances. We enjoyed Cornish dancing at the Front pub in Falmouth; some of us even joined in with the local dancers and John! Kudos to you all! Those of us too timid to explore or exhibit our ‘hidden talents’ tapped our feet to the lively music. This trip was not about going from point A to B, but truly a unique, culturally enriching experience. We could connect to the significance, cultural history and vibe of the places that we visited, thanks to Barny. My visit to the Minack theatre was a tranquil therapeutic treat sitting on the steps, looking out into the ocean, so were the wild, enticing moors and Haytor. Lyme Regis invigorated the Jane Austen connection to my core. The villages on the way and those we visited were picturesque and enchanting. Even the weather was exceptionally gracious! We had a couple of senior members in our group, and Barny took utmost care to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable for them. All I can suggest is that Rabbie’s can make it a weeklong trip to allow time around the Devon cliffs. It was a great experience and will remain vivid in our memories. I would highly recommend this trip to my friends and colleagues.Written 19 September 2023

We had a great day on our trip with Dan. A couple of us went as we wanted to recommend this to our language school students, and we could clearly see that Dan was very experienced and adjusted his language for everyone on-board that may have different levels of English. I feel like I learned a lot on the trip and can't wait to recommend this to the students!

Stonehenge was fascinating. We stopped at 3 small villages on the way and stayed around 1 hour. The only pubs were packed and we couldn’t get anything to eat or drink. There was very little to pass the time of only 1 hour. We sat around and waiting to get back on the bus. I would suggest maybe 1 stop at a village and carry on. It was a long day. The guide was pleasant and funny telling many good stories of his travels and some history. Thank you.

Hi Mandy,
Thanks so much for getting in touch and sharing your feedback!
I'm really glad that you enjoyed exploring Stonehenge, it really is quite a mysterious and magical spot! It's disappointing though, that you didn't enjoy the Cotswolds villages. We really work hard to find that right balance between stops and to not rush you through the day so you have plenty of time to explore the attractions in the villages such as Lacock Abbey, Avebury Stone Circle and Manor and soak up the charm in Castle Combe. If you're ever in doubt about what to do your driver guide should give you some recommendations and you're always free to ask as much as you need!
Thanks,
Jo

Our tour guide Barney was great! We had 5 family members traveling together and we had a fantastic time on the tour. The flow of the tour was nicely spaced, we didn't feel rushed at any of the stops. We've already recommended to other family members if they are ever in town so highly recommended!

The best tour I’ve ever taken! Alan was amazing, we saw everything beautiful and learned so much. The best part is that we laughed, sung, and learned so much. Beautiful sight very extraordinary. You definitely want to book a trip through Rabbie’s and when you ask for Alan tell him Alicia sent you!

Really nice day of Stonehenge, Avebury and the Cotswolds. Our guide Iggy was really enthousiastic and showed us many beautiful sights. The Cotswolds villages (Lacock and Castle Comb) are really beautiful and its very special to see Stonehenge and Avebury.
Almost doesn't get into Lacock because of floods, but Iggy did his best to find an alternative route into the village and we could see it after all!

I booked this for me, my wife and our 14 year old daughter. It was nice to relax and not being the driver. No worries about parking etc. The tourists stops were fantastic and well explained. The transport was clean and comfortable. The tour guide / driver was fun and knowledgeable. We will definitely use this tour company again.

Booked this because other Stonehenge tours were only a half day. It was a mistake. These small towns are pretty, but 10 minutes later I wanted to get back on the bus and move on.

Hi,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. It sounds like maybe this wasn't quite the tour for you. For those looking to just visit Stonehenge there are half day tours as you mentioned but there's also convenient public transport options. But we like to think our tour is a great option for those who want to squeeze in as much as they can to one day!
Thanks,
Jo

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and shared some great stories that went beyond the history of the specific sites we were visiting. I highly recommend this tour.
