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.

5.00Usually, you choose this excursion to see Stonehenge, but the part about the towns, which are beautiful and charming, was a pleasant surprise. The icing on the cake was that we had a wonderful driver-guide, friendly and humorous. We had an excellent day.

5.00Alex was a great tour guide! He was chipper and pleasant, telling us stories and tales along the ride to the different attractions. He was very knowledgeable and made the trip worth the experience. We were lucky to have a sunny day, which was definitely a plus for the day trip. We had plenty of time at all the stops to explore on our own, take pictures and walk around. At each stop, we were able to get some refreshments and do a little shopping as well as admire the scenery. It was a day well spent!!
Great informative day

5.00This was a great day tour. Matt, the driver and guide is a true local, so he had lots of interesting tidbits to share as we were travelling through the cities, villages and the countryside. Stonehenge did not disappoint, and the 3 Cotswold villages we visited we charming and each had an interesting backstory, and just enough things to see and do. The time allotted for each stop worked well, and, with some guidance and suggestions, we were free to roam and "do our own thing" in each place. I also appreciated that the travel time on the bus was so well broken up, and that the trip back to Bristol after the last stop was much quicker than the first leg to get out to Stonehenge. Overall I felt this trip was great value and I would recommend this tour.

5.00Our guide Tom was fantastic! I had the feeling I saw in one day all the UK and learned so much about the country. And as a Harry Potter fan Tom showed me the best film locations :-)
