    Really enjoyed the tour the only downside is the time limits. It would be much more enjoyable if you were given more time at each stop.

    Entertaining and friendly administrator and driver, lovely people. The tour, given another chance, I’d do Windsor and Stonehenge only…. It’s waaaay too rushed and fast doing the pub meal and Bath, both of which we could have passed up on…. Otherwise, a lovely day

    Loved the extensive London tour. The drivers were exceptional and patient with confused tourists. The commentary was good but live commentator would have been better. The included Thames boat cruise was great and such a different perspective from the river. The Captain commentary was instructive and hilarious.

    My wife and I only had a day and a half to see London. This had good reviews so we tried it. It was perfect and Tracey (our driver) was great! We saw a ton of the main tourist spots, Tracey even texted a day or so before to ask about any special requests or particular interests and catered some of our time together around that. She was so nice, and super knowledgeable about the city and history. No way a tourist could see and learn so much on their own sine we we’re able to pop out of the cab for quick looks etc. Would defiantly recommend - and request Tracey if you can!!

    Jim and Mark were good tour guides. This is a good tour of London and shows you a lot in one day so that is worthwhile. We were disappointed because the tour description seemed to indicate that we would meet a Beefeater at the Tower of London but that didn't happen. Also the river cruise is just a taxi (Uber) ride with no commentary which we did expect. These reasons are why we couldn't give it 5 stars.

    We had a wonderful time touring Westminster with Sandra. We were thrilled to get to see the guards at St. James Palace and then watch them progress to Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard ceremony. And these Jersey girls sure got a kick out of the Palace band playing a Bon Jovi medley! We covered a lot of ground but we got to see and learn so much!

    I'm such a fan!! I got emotional throughout because you truly feel like you're at Hogwarts! If you're near London, this is a must if you love Harry Potter or movie magic, in general! The experience was excellent, and even the food was great. We took the bus over. If you finish the tour early, you can Uber out or take the tube on your return to London. Highly recommend 👌

    Driver Jo and guide Peter were great. Peter really knew his stuff. Bus was very comfortable and there was plenty time at each stop. Just an idea- the bus could carry a couple of spare phone chargers.

    This tour is a full day to say the least, but it is absolutely true to all the descriptions. We were fortunate to have our fabulous guide Paulie - it may have been his 1,000th tour, but it was our first and he kept the energy up and tended to our biorhythms and needs throughout the day. And our driver Eddie was incredible - guiding a big and comfortable coach tour bus through narrow streets like a pro; keeping us on time and safe throughout the day. The only thing I wish I'd known was to bring a set of earphones with a plug-in chord to watch videos or listen to music as provided, or even just to plug into my phone. It was a good hour drive out to Windsor Castle, which was awesome beyond expectations; another hour to Stonehenge, which was in the middle of nowhere and as odd as I expected; another hour to Bath, which was incredible as we spent almost our entire 90 minutes just touring the Roman bath house leaving us with about 15 minutes to check out what seemed like a gorgeous old town; and then a full on 2 hour ride back to London. We took a cool route out of town, but ran into a temporary detour, but Paulie and Eddie handled it all like pros and kept our spirits up regardless. The whole day moved quickly and didn't feel as long as it actually was thanks to the two of them. The whole thing was more than worth the time and money!

    The actual trip was great. The only problem was that the pickup was late so that limited the time at Dover Castle. Shane, our guide, was great and reacted quickly to any queries people had. Our driver was competent, although late on pickups but got us back to London in good time. Overall a great experience and I am glad to have gone. Thank you

    Ambrose, our amazing tour guide, took us for 5 incredible days through Exeter, Salisbury, Polperro, Polruan, Port Isaac and more!! He was so in tune with the history of this beautiful country, including the wonderful myths and legends. His historical knowledge, intertwined with a great sense of humor, made this tour so entertaining and the best I have ever experienced. The only person you want as your tour guide is Ambrose!! Book it now! You will thank me later!!

    Anna was such a great guide. She took extra care to keep everyone in the group happy and engaged! Long day, but well worth it to get a quick overview of Paris.
