      Great perfect tour!
      We had the best tour ever, with Danxia as our guide and Koli as our driver. They really went the extra mile to make sure we had the best time during our 12 hour-tour. All the information Danxia brought to us was relevant and interesting and her energy was amazing! We were lucky to have them both and they made this experience unforgettable! Thank you so much! 🙏🙏🙏

      Great Windsor Castle-Stonehenge-Bath tour
      This tour was delightful. Danxia was a wealth of knowledge and had us well prepared for each stop so we could maximize our time. Kiki was a safe, skillful driver that kept us on track.

      Wonderful, amazing, would do it again.
      I thoroughly enjoyed the tours. From Bath to Stonehenge and to Windsor our guide Apple was always on top of things. Apple was very funny, knowledgeable, and on top of the rules and regulations and time expectations. We unfortunately were unable to go into the Roman baths due to the rain causing a power outage. We were informed of this the moment he tour knew and we were able to roam around the area, shop, eat, etc. Apple always made sure people knew the expectation of a timed tour. If you are late, you are left. However, she always made sure people were aware of this and made sure we knew if we did for what ever reason get left behind to know what to do. Our driver was Kee, he did an amazing job on the small roads through the Cotswolds. He was very friendly to all those on board. 10 out of 10 would recommend. If you have Apple and Kee you are in experienced and knowledgeable hands. And you will get a laugh every now and then.

      Nice trip
      Great service, the guide and driver are experienced. Elvio number one.. The humoruous tone of our guide was great also. Only problem is the meet up location in the morning. The location on ticket is wrong and when you arrive the right location, the spots 1 to 5 are are even in more chaos..

      Great tour of three interesting places in one day
      Great guide David gave a lot of information both on the coach before visiting each place as well as at the place itself during a walk. Very well calculated time when the coach had to leave in order to get to next place on time. Driver Elvio was driving smoothly all the way and was very nice when we were outside of the coach

      Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath
      The tour was a bit rushed for time but you see so much in one day. I had a fantastic tour guide, Bruce, who made the day and long bus rides in between locations enjoyable and informative.

      Crowds and warm temperatures made journey uncomfortable
      Morton was our guide and he was very good and personable. I had been to both Hampton Court and Windsor Castle before, but husband was seeing them for the first time. Unfortunately, Royal Chapel at Hampton Court was closed and I missed the actors playing Henry and his wives who were there last time. Windsor was fine although completely mobbed. Our bus was also packed and I didn't appreciate the "gentleman" in front of me who reclined his seat for the entire trip. Bus seats are too small.

      Great London tour
      Great first night experience in London to see the highlights and plan for more. Our tour guide Emma was personable, charming and engaging. She even got the driver to drop me off near my hotel afterwards. Thank you!

      A Fun (but rushed) Tour
      Great experience with a friendly driver and helpful tour guide. My only complaint is that we didn't have enough time in Burton on the Water and Stratford Upon Avon.

      Excellent
      Bus was at station on time, excellent experience for any HP fan at the studio. It was not impossible to watch movie in the bus, it needs to be improved.

    Awful experience! Not worth £5.... nevermind the £40 charged!
    'English speaking tour guide' who could not speak English. Amateurish from start to finish. Zero value for money. Customer Service rude, disrespectful and dismissive. Do not waste your money with this company!

    The tour was great. I had a great time. I was in London only for the weekend. It’s a great way to see the city in such a small amount of time. My guide was Harriet. She was so funny. She had a lot of historical knowledge and fun facts to tell about the city. She almost sang “Feliz Navidad”. I wish she did. She did nevertheless sing “Jingle Bells”.
