It’s a day of magic, imagination, and inspiration.
Many have gazed upon Stonehenge and wondered how the enormous standing stones ended up like that. Some believe the wizard Merlin worked his magic to create them. Others imagine aliens are involved. While some agree it was the Romans. Standing stones constantly inspire the imagination and on this tour you get to see not just one, but two of these amazing constructs.
And it doesn’t stop with these monuments. Many know the Cotswolds as a place of quintessential beauty and it’s time for you to see for yourself. From movie set locations to fascinating history, you’ll love exploring this beautiful region.

5.00Esther was a phenomenal guide. She had lots of great stories to tell us on the crash to each location. Her playlist was amazing and I’d definitely recommend this tour to others.
Fantastic and mystical, like being in a movie

5.00The Stonehenge + Cotswold tour is perfectly organised. Accurate, punctual, with a fantastic guide (Tom)... a well of information. I really enjoyed the musical references to characters, events, films, etc. that accompanied us throughout the trip. I will consider Rabbie’s for my future UK tours... driven by curiosity!!! Top! Unfortunately there are no other stars beyond 5!

4.00This is a good way to get to sites with interesting commentary and a basic overview from the guide along the way. At the sites you are on your own for the time allotted. If you are looking for in depth information and a guided tour at each site, this is not the tour for you. We enjoyed the running commentary and being able to see the countryside along the way as we did not have a rental car on this trip.
Great experience. Everything...

4.00A very pleasant trip with a great driver-guide. The journey is long due to road conditions (rural areas)
A Great Excursion - Great Stops, Great Stories, Great Pubs

5.00Excellent excursion, from the host to the comfortable transportation to the sights and stops. Our host, Esther, was awesome. Very knowledgeable, entertaining, and shared the right amount of stories with a local flair. After Stonehenge we stopped at 3 different beautiful, quaint, English villages and each stop was long enough for a pint! Cheers! Highly recommend!
Perfect itinerary & great guide

5.00This was my first time travelling with Rabbie's and I will definitely book again! Had a fantastic day out and learned so much. The guide, Matt, was a very safe driver and an excellent storyteller. He shared many facts about the places, about their history, about English sayings, etc. He was also passionate about pointing out the animals on the thatched roofs, which made the drives even more entertaining. The itinerary was well designed (no easy feat with winter-sunset at 4pm!) and I am incredibly grateful that Rabbie's ran the tour, even though I was the only one who had signed up on that day.
Excellent
