      Great experience
      Great trip to visit Stonehenge and Bath and not have to worry about all the details. Definitely a long day, but the tour guide was great and made it an enjoyable day

      Guide was great
      I wasn't sure what to expect, but the tour was very informative and well organized. Jerry did a great job. I didn't expect to be crammed into a huge bus packed with people, and would have liked a smaller group. It amazing that the island allows the huge tour buses on the island given the narrow roads. The driver did an awesome job navigating obstacles. You see a limited amount due to the driving required, but I recommend it.

      Oxford, Windsor and Eton tour
      My visit to Oxford, Windsor, and Eton was really amazing. Laura, the guide, made it even better with her knowledge about the places and she gave good recommendations for free time activities. I totally recommend this tour.

      Awesome day out from Brighton!
      I am an American on transfer at the University of Sussex, so I am not in the UK for vacation with very limited time to explore. However, I was pleased to find this weekend day tour to Stonehenge which is on my bucket list. Being able to visit Bath too was truly a bonus as this turned out to also be a must-see! The excursion was well organized, the guide Laura recommended we download the audio guide app to enjoy the visit to these awesome rocks which is worth doing. It was a shame the weather turned for the worst as my sneakers got pretty wet but the shop was well stocked with souvenirs including Stonehenge socks which saved me for the walking tour of Bath! The tour of the city was fun, Laura had a great sense of humor, telling us about a former famous Hollywood resident and how the streets were named, I loved hearing about Mary Shelley and Dickens and seeing famous film locations. She also pointed out great places to buy local candy and cozy pubs to have a typical roast. I managed to make it into the Abbey where they had a huge globe suspended in the centre of the church which was pretty awesome to see. I recommend this tour with Laura, it was especially convenient for me with the limited time I have!

      Hassle-free, fun day-trip from Brighton.
      This day trip from Brighton was perfectly timed, informative, and fun. We had enough time in both Greenwich and Cambridge to see the highlights. Optional punting was a great way to finish up. Our guide, Gerry, was knowledgeable, helpful, and super-flexible. Great experience on a very nice bus that was much easier than navigating public transport.

      Full day, but worth it!
      This was an Anderson Tour that left London at 7:15am, arrived back at 8:30pm, and went to the Isle of Wight. It was a long day, but worth it to see Osborne House of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Also saw and ate lunch at Shanklin Beach. Another stop was the adorable village, Godshill village. Do see the miniature village set up. It’s actually pretty cool, especially the plantings that are kept to scale for the village. This tour includes the ferry ride over to the island where we saw 2 cruise ships pulling away on our way back. It’s a long day, bit a good one. Our driver was Brendan and he kept us amused and well informed.

      Beautiful places and amazing guide
      Cambridge and Greenwich are very beautiful places. Our guide Laura was amazing. She explained us all about the history of the places that we have visited, it was very interesting. It means she has really good knowledge. She took very good care of everyone. I asked her about the other nice places in UK, she could immediately recommend me and gave me more information, that was very helpful. Thank you so much Laura. You are amazing!

    I usually avoid tours but thought I'd take a chance to see the Isle of Wight during the Jubilee weekend. Andrew is an outstanding guide, with lots of interesting knowledge. These tours allow lots of personal exploration time while providing great guidance on how to prioritize your time. The buses are very comfortable with USB ports. I enjoyed this so much that I signed up for the trip to Leeds Castle and Canterbury for the next day.

    This was an amazing experience !!! The Isle of Wight is a very underrated location that deserve to get more visibility. I loved the history and stories behind the place as well as the stories the guide told us along the bus ride. Jerry was lovely to us, making British jokes as much as he could XD. He was very patient with inconsiderate people and very dynamic. He makes efforts to speak slowly as everyone in the bus wasn't British, so it's perfect if your English is moderate. I loved every single minute of this trip. Thank you very very much Jerry ! (:

    On a long weekend with my teenage daughter we booked this day trip before travelling to Brighton (12/8/22)
    Andrew was very informative with his history knowledge from the very start of the tour, full of lots of interesting facts all the way. The needles was spectacular and there was plenty of time to visit each attraction (we didn’t get off the chair lift at the bottom as queues were long and tide was in anyway/ a lady on coach trip mentioned she went on boat trip which she thoroughly enjoyed). Andrew and Rob (driver) were both very welcoming and friendly. Loved Andrews bing bongs and great sense of humour :)
    Having never taken a coach tour before we knew by the end of the day we had to do more and hopefully find a local coach company, who will have big boots to fill after this trip!

    Everything was on time and journey very relaxing. An Easter egg. Was a nice thought driver very good. Guide Andrew was very informative however one hour stop was not long enough at Godshill as no time to have lunch and see the village. Needless to say is fantastic for the views but very toristy and very expensive especially £9 for the chair

    We joined the Day Tour from Brighton with Andrew as our tour guide during the Jubilee weekend. Andrew is gentle, patience, knowledgeable and funny. He talked about interesting stories about the attractions, and the history of different places, which I enjoyed very much. During each stop, he would provide the option to follow him to visit some special landmarks, while giving the flexibility for the rest to just relax and enjoy some snacks. The tour to Isle of Wight has been great, and it is even better with Andrew as the our tour guide.

    Amazing day. Feels like a three-day trip but our super lovely guide ANDREW took us through so many interesting places and information in one-day-only! He told us interesting facts between Brighton and spectacular Isle of Wight, he took care of every details always with a smile and kindness, and my teenager and I had the greatest Easter day 🐣 ever. Thank you Andrew and Tony the driver :)

    This day trip came by chance and I could not be more happier. The tour was excellent organised, timely, warmly welcome arrival, coach super clean, friendly people and of course, our guide Gerard, very knowledgeable, superb communication skills with a great sense of humour. Actually having a good tour guide makes a difference.
    It was a shame just for the day, but I am planning back to get a closer insight into the Isle with its breathtaking landscapes.
    Everything was well-organised with an outstanding customer services. A big thank you to Discovery Tours and our guide for the pleasant trip.

    It was a nice immemorable day. The journey was comfortable, well organized.
    It was little hard to find a place to dine in Godshill. It was a long weekend too.
    If the organizers informed us earlier, we could have reserved a place for lunch. So the time for site seeing was limited as we had to hunt for food.

    The ferry ride, needle amusement park and Jurassic beach are my favorites. God's Hill village doesn't have much places to see except the lunch and tea tasting. But it is a Good place for lunch and some nice photos. Our guide Mr. Andrew explained even the minute details well, a good amount of history interesting to listen. The organiser Mr. Manrico is fantastic he is very friendly. He picked us up from Burgess Hill and dropped us back home. It was a very good and memorable trip.
