For me, this tour was a wonderful experience. Pepe the tour guide and Eduardo the driver worked together so well to make this a great day, despite weather issues and road problems. The issues I had involved a misunderstanding about what was included in the price of the tour. When I arrived on the morning of the tour, I was told that Stonehenge was not included in the price of the package. I had to pay extra on site for that experience. Also, Windsor Castle was closed on the day that we visited. We were able to enjoy the charming location, but we were not allowed to go inside the castle. This was disappointing.
When I checked the menu of the restaurant ahead of time, I was relieved to see that the pub offered a gluten free option for fish and chips. On the bus, we were only offered one of four choices for lunch, and the gluten free fish and chips were not on the choice menu.

Overall this was an excellent tour where we felt we got our full moneys worth. Each site gives you a taste of history and an experience.
Leon was a 10/10 tour guide. He has so much knowledge and passion about the topics and kept things fun and interesting. He also gave tips and tricks to being more efficient in each destinations which overall gave us more time to do things. I would highly recommend you take tours with Leon.
We had enough time Windsor and Bath to explore and not feel really rushed. And also Enough time to learn about the history of each place. The Stonehenge was very busy as there is a shuttle which takes people from parking to the actual stones, and can take 20 mins away from site seeing. While there wasn’t much time for photos it was great to see the boulders up close. The lunch at ladock was great, it is a nice small area.
It should be noted that this ticket doesn’t include tickets to the Roman bath house however if you ask to see the baths they may on occasion let you know to see if.

We did tour 79 Windsor, Stonehenge, Lacock and Bath. Was a long day but certainly didn’t drag. We met at Victoria Coach Station and as per the tickets, we boarded around 7:30 for 7:45am departure. We were given a run down of the day and were given strict instructions on timelines, our group were great and were always on time which led for a smooth day.
Our tour was a Tuesday so Windsor Castle was closed for visitors, our guide gave us a short walking tour and then we had some free time to explore the village and were then lucky to see the changing of the guard. We then went to Stonehenge, our ticket included a shuttle to the site, we had time to take plenty of photos and walk the entire perimeter. Next stop was Lacock for lunch (included in our ticket), we pre-ordered lunch and a drink which was very efficient on arrival, we did a small walking tour then headed to Bath. We were given some guidance on things to do and then free time before heading back to London.
Our guide Eugene certainly made for an enjoyable day and the banter with Chris the driver was fun to watch.
Yes it’s a long day but if you want to see Stonehenge and experience a taste of village life, you’ll enjoy it.

This company should be shut down. We started out the tour just fine and arrived to Windsor Castle from London. When it was apparent my father was not able to keep up with the pace of the tour up the steep streets (in masses of other tour groups with no organization) I immediately spoke to the guide who reassured me it was fine and he would direct us where to go and sit and where to meet up to the group at the castle. The entire tour group watched and listened to me speak to him. He promised to keep an eye out as we toured and did for the first bit. The guide was wearing an orange shirt and at some point put a jacket over it. The post with the flag he was supposed to hold above his head was not used. They departed Windsor Castle without myself and my 80yr old parents in parking lot 2 hours from our hotel. They never responded or returned our belongings from the bus. We are now going to court over this as the company will not take responsibility and do the right thing and refund us as well as send our belongings back. We followed the tour guides instructions and would have even waited back on the bus had he suggested it. Had we know they would just leave people in a foreign country to “figure it out” I would have never paid the $500 for these tickets. My father was celebrating his 80th birthday and now he is unsure if he wants to travel anymore because of this. Very disappointed and extremely insulted by the poor customer service or lack of concern. They just want your money, book elsewhere if you don’t want your holiday ruined.

Windsor Castle was my favorite We were one of the first groups there. However, it was very rushed and we were forced to leave at changing of the guard. There was not enough time to adequately see all three events I would recommend choosing 2 of the 4 events (skip the pub lunch) The pub lunch staff was not very accommodating and the food was just okay. Bath was beautiful but all the attractions were an extra fee. The timing of our arrival and Bath tours were not aligned and required more time than tour allotted.
One more important thing There was no water included on the 12 hour tour. Bring your own water and snacks You can buy snacks at each of the stops but they are pricey. Bring rain gear because the tour doesn't stop just because of rain

This trip was an okay trip. Let me first start by saying the tour guide/lead, Leon, was great. The driver was great. Overall, I enjoyed the trip. If you are okay with taking a long journey out of London for the day, hopping on and off the bus at stops, and having limited time to see the sights, then this tour is for you.
We had maybe 30 minutes at one stop, 45 at another, and an hour at another. You really don't get to enjoy or fully experience what's on offer. You spend more time on the bus getting to sites than you do at the actual site itself. However, I enjoyed the drive and journey. You definitely get to see parts of the rural countryside. The line for stonehenge was probably half a mile long. You have to get off your coach bus, walk down to join the queue to get another bus to drop you off to the stonehenge. Walking is an option but it is a mile and half (1.5 miles) walk.
The queue to get the shuttle took us about 35 minutes. So all we had time to do was get off the shuttle at the stonehenge, look and get back in the queue to go back down to get on our coach. We didn't even have time to walk up to the stonehenge up close for pictures because the queue to go back down on the shuttle was long and we didn't want to get left. Oh yes, people got left there and at Windsor too. I think we left 4 people in the whole journey for not coming back on time.
At windsor, they lock the gate at changing of the guards and you cant get out for 10 minutes. The workers said the drivers on the coach wont leave but we left a couple there fore sure. So be on time.
The pub lunch is a no. I think there is a tour without the lunch and I wish I had taken it. They have four options (fish/chips, vegan burger, pie/mash, and something else). The food wasn't good and the process for it was a bit chaotic if you ask me. If you are expecting to see Lacock village, then you won't see it because you only have about 30 minutes to eat and you may spend 15-20 of that waiting for food. I was the last person served so I only had about 10 minutes to eat. Luckily I did not need the full amount of time because the food wasn't good anyway.
Again, I honestly enjoyed the journey of seeing the countryside, the tour guide (Leon) and the driver.

The tour and our tour guide, Mary, did a wonderful job explaining how our day was going to unfold, bits of information along our way and doing her best to keep track of everyone. We had 80 in our group!! Great sites, comfortable bus ride. Delicious lunch in Lacoch at the oldest inn. I’m sorry I won’t be able to go again anytime soon. The only issue was initially getting on the bus, finding the area behind Victoria Station and being packed in to a small depot area. I would think there would be an easier way to check everyone in with a QR code, instead of poor Mary having to go through her sheet. Room for improvement on that point. But 5 stars for Mary and Christian our driver!!

Beware! I specifically booked the most expensive tour that stated that all the entries to the sites are included. However, on the bus the Guide announced that Roman Bath entry is not included. On my question what is "included" he answered "Entry to the town". I did not check if "the entry to the town" really requires a fee. In addition, the start was chaotic. Obviously, tourism is booming and companies are eager to get money but not ready to accommodate the crowd. Paid Lunch was promoted. Hopefully, organization and transparency on what is included in the tour will improve.

This was such a great tour! Our guide, Nick was very funny, polite, and friendly. Our driver Carlos was great as well. Got us everywhere we needed to go safely, so not much more I can say about that. Ha ha.
We started off in Windsor, and we were the first tour to arrive there. So we were at the front of the queue when the castle opened. We got a lot Information from Nick about history and what goes on in the area these days. Very informative stuff. He also had some humor sprinkled in which was nice. Next we drove out to Stonehenge, and spent a perfectly adequate amount of time there. After that, we went to the pub lunch and Lacock. It was very tasty (try the ale!). Then we had a little bit of time to walk around the village. Not too much, because we needed to get on our way so that we would have as much time as possible in Bath. Bath was the grand finale. And it was great. (*We went on a Sunday, so I think things closed little earlier.) We had a choice between a walking tour with our guide, Nick, which allowed us to see a lot of the different sites, or we could go into the Roman baths museum. It was one or the other, so we chose the walking tour so that we could see more. It was excellent. Nick showed us a lot of great sites in the town, and gave us a lot of information. After a FULL day, we left Bath and headed back to London. We stopped at a service station (bathrooms, fast food, and grocery) on the way home, which was great.
Our group of four (2 couples) truly enjoyed this experience. The bus ride was smooth and gave us time to take a couple naps (as many did), and Nick gave us history, tips, and facts along the way (not the whole way, it was quiet during the long stretches). We packed a LOT into one day, got to see a nice chunk of English countryside, and we never felt rushed. You couldn’t waste time, but we felt there was ample time to see all that we wanted to see and do a little souvenir shopping. (*If you really want to experience all of Bath, you need to drive there and spend a day. I think any tour will give you a nice taste, but you’ll have to choose what you want to see. There just isn’t enough time on a tour to see everything.)

I appreciate everyone who answered my previous question and I have a follow up. I have purchased a London Pass and I have been told that admission to the Windsor castle is included with that. Does that mean I would be exempt from the tour with the company specifically? As an I’ll just have to kind of wander around on my own until the time is up? And I’ve also noted in one of the other answers in my previous question that there was there wasn’t enough time
to visit the baths. I greatly wish to see the baths, even if I have to purchase it myself, so how likely is it through everyone’s experience that I’ll be able to see the baths if I in fact, purchase admission myself and not fall foul of the tour companies time allotted, I guess? As I don’t have any desire to be left behind lol.
Does this tour include the baths? I’m noticing there’s no purchasing option for admission to the baths?

The tour includes a trip to the town of Bath.
The entry fee for the roman bath is not included, but can be purchased seperatly
The itinerary has lunch listed as the final stop but it is showing a 12 hour tour? Do you actually eat super late or was lunch at a reasonable point in the tour?

There are some seats in the front also where no one is in front of you so no one would be reclining in front of you. That may be an option for your husband.

If the entry for all is sold out, but we still want entry to Windsor Castle, do we get our own tickets online? If so, what time for entry (if timed entry)?

I would be careful about expecting to get into see Windsor Castle at any time between now (March 2023) and May (2023). When I went on this tour in January of 2023, Windsor Castle was closed to the public. They are making ready for Coronation Day (05/06/23) and the castle is closed several days each week... sometimes without prior notice.

What time does the Stonehenge tour end? It says 12 hours and 30 minutes and we meet at 7:30 am. Does this mean 8:00 pm? Hoping to make dinner reservations!

yes the trip is 12.5 hrs. we reached back at 20.30, at Gloucester rd. tube station. Traffic and weather can play a part. however they keep atight sechdule. keep dinner reservation for another day, if possible. Guide do suggest some eating places where they drop people off.

What’s the minimum passengers for tour so it won’t cancel?
*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
