5.00Our tour guide, zozo was very knowledgeable and engaging. He spent much time telling us lots of background information about Stone Hendge and Windsor castle during the bus trip. He was well organized, communicated clearly and humorous!! The bus driver Ibrahim was a careful and friendly driver. I’ve visited Europe 5 times and this was the best tour
Wonderful tour

5.00James was our guide and Florian was our driver. Both were awesome! We first went to Windsor castle but it’s closed on Tuesdays so we didn’t get in . Lovely town and we got to see everyone dressed up in their best with hats on! Very cool. Then we went to Lacock which was also a nice place and had lunch there at the oldest pub. Florian was so kind and walked me to the pub so I would t get lost looking for it since I didn’t want to go with the rest of the tour. The best and absolute most wonderful part was going to Bath. So very lovely! Please keep in mind that this is a lot of walking so probably not the best for people with mobility issues although they did a great job accommodating everyone. Really great tour and wonderful tour guides
Excellent tour

5.00The tour went so smoothly. Tour Director Andrew was very knowledgeable and engaging. He told many amusing and unusual facts about the places we passed by. He gave us pointers on what was important to see and as well as the schedule of the changing of the guards.
Worth the time and money!
