    Potter Tour
    The transport to and from London was great, I would like to give emphasis on how the driver- Dave was very fun and knowleadgable about the London. I would highly recommend Dave. The tour itself was not too bad, just a tip- to maximize the tour make sure you have eaten so that no time is allocated on eating whilst on tour, simply because there are some parts of the tour where you have to get in long lines to actually see what you want to see.

    Beautiful drive, terrible check in …
    I loved this tour. It was truly great! It was raining all day so that detracted from our enjoyment, however, that is not the fault of the tour operators. The tour itself started rocky. Unlike the other tour operators that I stopped and asked for directions along the way, this group is hidden in the back. Just keep walking, pass the Starbucks, get to the very end and you’ve found them. They are not well marked. And the people keep walking away so it’s hard to pin down if you are in the correct location. I would advise that you arrive at least 30 mins before departure. I promise you, yes, the check in process is TERRIBLE! But after that, it’s a good time. (Removed a star for how horrific the check in process is, they should learn from the other tour groups that have tables and signs and smiles throughout the terminal) Ok. Onto the tour. Our guide was very knowledgable, helpful and friendly. He was originally from Bath so could give details that many others didn’t quite have. Windsor Castle was a great time. Truly beautiful building with so much history. We also caught the changing of the guards. Stonehenge was stunning. And they have a great coffee shop there. The food and the inn was fantastic. The town itself is lovely with lots of art and homemade chocolates so be sure to walk around. Overall, great trip. For those who really want to enjoy each location I would say just stay out by Bath and take a day for Stonehenge and a day for Windsor castle. 90 mins is not enough for either.

    A Stone Circle Early Experience
    We thank our lucky stars that we could book the early morning guided visit within the stone circle. This visit has limited places, is indeed more expensive, and is very early (06h30). Nevertheless, every extra penny and every lost minute of sleep was absolutely worthwhile. Moreover, we were blessed with impeccable weather… just the right amount of dawn sunlight and clouds to give us the best colour textures. In other words, summarising all of the above, it was a most moving and beautiful experience.

    A great tour
    The tour was well worth our time and money. Our tour guide, Steve, was a wealth of information sprinkled with the right amount of jokes. It was our first day ever in London. We learned about so much history and quaint facts. I know where the queen bought her undergarments and the name of the paint color on the buildings.

    Loved the places and the tour!
    Both places were amazing and the tour itself was well planned and executed. The guide and driver were great! It's a lot to see in 1 day and it's a long day. Bath itself there is enough to see for a full day.

    Priceless Experience !! Do not hesitate
    Andy was our tour guide, and he was absolutely amazing: hilarious, knowledgeable, and zero f’s given !! He was the BEST. Bath beat all of our expectations. Almost indescribable energy there. So tranquil and beautiful, pretty unreal. Andy even tipped us off to a pub with hand-pumped cider, and, oh yes, we listened. No regrets there! Next up was Lacock and, lemme tell ya, dining in a fourteenth century pub is pretty amazing. Stop and look around. It’s worth it. Then, the final act was Stonehenge at sunset. We met another amazing guide, Graham, at Stonehenge who helped Andy shepherd us through the inner rings in small groups. The stones, the sheep, the sunset…exhilarating! We got all the photos we needed and then some, but it’s really not about the photos, it’s about the vibes, and the history, I suppose ! Vibes were definitely high the whole time. We will cherish these memories forever !

    Must do Tour
    5/5, Guide-Eugene and driver Ricardo were awesome. Eugene was a great guide with amazing histories of the area; articulate and humorous. Ricardo skillfully drove to all of our destinations with tremendous skill; safety conscious all the way. The coach was extremely modern and comfortable. Great tour!

    Fabulous day trip!
    I have always wanted to see Stonehenge and Bath. I took my 21 year old student along for the adventure. The trip was fantastic! Our guide, Eugene, was terrific! He was very informative and shared fun facts along the way while also providing some rest time on the drive.

    Amazing inner circle a MUST
    A wonderful full day excursion. Prepare for 11am to 10pm day. A stunning finish in the inner circle of Stonehenge! Only our group was there at the end of day, wow. Tom made the trip so fun and with plenty of knowledge too. We stopped in Bath to view the Roman baths, so very cool. Then a lunch stop in a 13th century pub in Lacock. A charming tiny town about 45 mins from Stonehenge. Our group of 50 people were broken into two groups, we each had about 20 minutes of free time for photos and videos of the amazing Stonehenge. You will LOVE this tour! Our driver Lee was fabulous too.

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!!!
