Melanie was excellent....

Melanie was excellent. She got us to everything, and we had a fabulous day, .She found a great pub for lunch, and was a big help dropping us at the airport. Would use her again anytime.

Unforgettable Experience

Our first Viator tour did not disappoint! Khalid was a wonderful driver and guide. He engaged us in conversation sharing bits of history and anecdotes about Southampton and the surrounding area. He didn’t just drop us off and pick us up at Stonehenge & Salisbury Cathedral. He escorted us to the entrances and gave us recommendations of what to do at each place to maximize our experience. This was our first time in the UK and Khalid made sure it was a trip we would never forget! Thank you Khalid (& Melanie) for your thorough communication leading up to our tour to make it a stress free and seamless experience. Stonehenge & Salisbury Cathedral are a must when visiting Southampton and I highly recommended Viator, Melanie, & Khalid!

Ms. Melanie is a phenomenal host and tour operator as well as a nice, sweet person. Professional service with nice personal touches. Very highly recommend her and her service! Two thumbs us!!!

Operator response

Hi Leon Thank you so much for your kind comments. I was glad I could help you changing the tour date to the following day, it would of been an awful shame not to see the stones I do hope your flight back home was a lot more smooth than the one coming to Southampton.

Highly Recommend!!!

Our guide was awesome - professional, informed, and funny! She helped us avoid the crowds at Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral and pointed us to unique sections of both places. She made the excursion extra special, suggesting a few fascinating detours on the way as well as other things to on our holiday. We had a great chat about dogs and gardens and life in general - couldn’t be happier with the entire experience!

Our guide Melanie was fantastic. She made sure we knew where to go at each stop to get the most out of our experience. We even drove through the new forest to se the wild ponies, donkeys and horses.

Stonehenge PreCruise Excursion

Melanie was a great guide. She was flexible and very informative. We had ample time to see Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral.

Operator response

Hi Cristina Thank you so much for your feedback. It's great to hear you enjoyed the shore excursion. I hope your cruise around Ireland and the UK wasn't to bad with the awful weather we are having at present :(
