    3 Texans on their first trip to Paris
    This was an amazing trip and the perfect way to get a taste of Paris. From the morning ride on the Eurostar to the evening trip home, everything was better than expected. Anna, our guide was fantastic. She was kind and professional every step of the way. Her knowledge of Paris was unmatched. I felt like I was leaving a friend at the end of the day.

    Anna made the trip perfect
    This was a long day but a great way to experience the best of Paris in a day from London. Our guide Anna was amazing. She was knowledgeable, had a great sense of humor, and really looked out for everyone on the trip. I was glad all transportation, ticket entry etc was taken care of. Definitely recommend if you want a taste of Paris!

    London to Paris
    The entire trip was wonderful. We were met by a member of Premier Tours at the train station and they helped us through the boarding process. On the train we were met by our wonderful host Anna. Anna was a consummate professional throughout the tour. She led with intricate knowledge of Paris mixed with a sense of humor. She went out of her way to ensure all of the guests felt comfortable throughout the day. She was a spectacular communicator and made the day a breeze. We learned and laughed a lot while enjoying the bus and boat tour. The entire trip was fun and easy, exactly what you want in a tour in a foreign city. Even our teenager had fun. 5 out of 5 stars would recommend to anyone.

    Outstanding day trip
    Our tour guide, James, was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny. I really liked that he made sure each person on the bus knew how to get back to their local accommodations. Moses, our driver, had mad skills! He drove with professionalism and care and even through rain and fog I felt perfectly comfortable with our family being in his care.

    Nice and great 👍🏻 experience. Although weather is not so nice, all the trip is safe and being fantastic. However, there was a thief over the castle outsides and my pocket got open during downstairs when I was heading back to my coach today. Anyway, thanks James and Moses . Me and my husband felt good during this trip.

    Great 1 day trip
    Had a great trip. Was a little rushed but James and Moses did a fantastic job. Be sure to bring snacks or be prepared for something fast cause there isn't a lot of time to get food.

    Given too little time at Stonehenge
    The Roman Baths were amazing however we were so disappointed with our Stonehenge experience. Our guide Nicholas said we would have plenty of time at the site. He gave us a time to be back on the bus and stressed that if we weren't back by then, we would be left behind. There were loads of other people there in addition to our packed coach. By the time we walked to the shuttle bus, waited in the queue and were driven to the stones, we felt we could only spend at most 5 minutes at the stones and couldn't afford to walk right around the structure. We took two hurried pictures and left to get the shuttle bus back. The queueing and getting back took ages also. We only spent 5 minutes in the shop as we didn't want to be left behind. We would have loved to have spent longer at the stones and in the shop. We arrived back on the bus at the appointed time. The sad thing is that Nicholas then waited a further 20 minutes plus for stragglers. We wouldn't have hurried back if we had known. The whole day was ruined for us. We had traveled from the other side of the globe and Stonehenge was to be a trip highlight. We probably won't make it back again and our memory of it is a rushed glimpse. Nicholas should never have said a leaving time that he was not going to stick to and told us he would not wait and then do the complete opposite. Those of us that got back on time were disadvantaged and our experience spoiled. Very, very sad.

Steve was an awesome guide who provided us with a lot of information and insight into the places we visited. He was overall extremely helpful and would recommend booking this tour w/ Steve! Itinerary was well paced to allow enough time to explore each place and see all the highlights.

To be clear, our review of the day itself is 4/5; however, our review of our tour guide (Zozo) and quality of the tour is 5/5!!!

Zozo was dynamic right from the beginning! He was very knowledgeable, but balanced when and what to share instead of overpowering. The chemistry he creates with his tours makes the day fabulous while knowing he is absolutely the one in control. Our family lost our camera along the way and he was very helpful in organizing another tour guide to pick it up and return it to London so we could pick it up the next morning! Thanks Zozo!

Note: we knew the tour day was going to be long, but the travel through the Cotswolds puts you quite late into Stratford cutting that experience too short (and therefore lacklustre). Still very grateful we checked off so many iconic sights in one day!

Our most handsome guide, Alan, was very informative and entertaining while being patient with visitors who might have been left behind-- being sure to get in touch with them and have another tour pick them up. Alan was so filled with humor and compelling facts that kept us interested on this long, full-day journey. I only wish we could do it again the next day!

The trip was pretty awesome, quite a long day, there’s so much to see. Our guide, Andrew was awesome, knowledgeable Scottish man with a sense of humor. Bath was very busy due to the Christmas markets, which made it impossible to get into the Roman bath without a reservation. Overall I recommend this tour which is helpful yo get a little taste of English culture. Shakespeare town I think was my favorite experience as it is actually interactive and not just something to look at.

We had a lovely trip with Peter,
we saw all the stops with plenty of time and Peter was very informative and really knew his stuff.

we got to Stonehenge quite early so it was pretty empty which was great. Continued to Bath, which is a nice area, but note that the Baths themselves are not included. The Cotswold was lovely but is only a drive by, you don’t stop there. Finally we got to Stratford which was the highlight of the trip! We really enjoyed the whole day.

Our day was very smooth sailing as people all came to the bus at the allocated hours (so highly recommend listening to the guide in this regard)

And there is no food included. There were places to stop and eat but we packed food and were glad we did.

The driver and guide were very good but I felt if we went to Bath , then the actua Bath would be included in the trip but we couldn’t get in as no tickets were able to be purchased either . Never stopped at Cotswolds . That was a big waste of time . Stone henge was good . Stratford upon Avon was nice at the school but didn’t go to see his house replica how it used to be as well as the theatre .

We were on Tour 6 to Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford-Upon-Avon tour on Aug 17 with St Nicholas and Carlo.

It was a fantastic tour I would recommend to everyone if you don’t have a lot of time, can’t drive, want to get a glimpse of the famous historical Stonehenge, beautiful Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon. This is the right place!

Although we spent a lot of time of the coach, our tour guide Nicholas with Carlo the driver have done a superb job in entertaining us with his humour. Nicholas was very knowledgeable, he gave us a lot of information about London, as well as the places we were going. He made the tour full of fun for everyone!

Instructions to assemble were clear.

Only downside is time too short to explore more of the city even start 7:45am with a finish of 8:30pm back in London. We would definitely come back for a long weekend in Bath as this is indeed a lovely and beautiful little town, reachable by train.

Pack your lunch or just grab a quick bite to maximise your time to spend in exploring the tour!

We will look for Nicolas again for our next tour in England! Thank you.

Nicholas provided an exceptional tour experience that exceeded all expectations. His knowledge and passion for the history of Stonehenge, Bath, and Stratford upon Avon were evident throughout the tour, making every stop incredibly informative and engaging. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore each location thoroughly while also having enough time to appreciate the highlights. Nicholas's professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly made this tour a 5-star experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to delve into England's rich history and culture!

This was a wonderful tour to Stonehenge (very moving experience), Bath (delicious fudge shops)and Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s elementary school). Our guide, Alan, was extremely knowledgeable, very personable and entertaining. The driver, Lorenzo, navigated busy traffic in the city and on the highways. Alan was happy to answer any questions about the sites and local customs. I traveled with my adult daughter who is also a fan of Shakespeare). I highly recommend this tour!!!
