It was a great experience all the way around. Our guide Rob was so accommodating but also so knowledgeable of the areas we toured!
The experience was seamless from start to finish. We left on time, and had a good amount of time at each location. I appreciated learning about the architecture in Bath, and the ability to grab a bite to eat. Overall one of the better excursions.
The whole day was well planned and enjoyable. Going with a guide to Stonehenge added to the experience and understanding. Bath is a beautiful city, but it is hard to decide between visiting the shops, going to the Roman Baths, or visiting museums. No matter what, it was a good experience.
Martin was a phenomenal guide for the day. Our trip to Stonehenge and then on to Bath was the perfect day! Martin shared so many historical facts. Martin made sure we had toilet accommodations, and other comforts throughout the day. We had a terrific walking guide in Bath. HIGHLY recommend this tour. It was absolutely the best day of our travels throughout England.
Excelente experiencia, Martin y George fenomenales
Was a wonderful experience. Our guide Martin handled the challenge of keeping our group together quite well. He was a wealth of knowledge throughout the tour. Same for our other guide, John in Bath.. He was excellent and most pleasant for his part of the tour.
It was excellent. I would recommend that you book with this company to tour the Cotswold, Stonehenge, Bath and any other place in Oxford.
Three separate tours with Footprint Tours that weekend. Day trip to Stonehenge and Bath was wonderful. Martin made the time pass comfortably and offered as much history as we cared to ask. Good pace, plenty of insight throughout the day.
The tour was very well planned and our guide Martin was very good in making all of us comfortable. Also, he had good knowledge about the heritage sites and he answered all our questions patiently. We also had another guide, John who took us on a walking tour in Bath. He was a very charming and entertaining person who was very well versed with history of The Bath. He told us many interesting folklore stories and history of the place. Overall, it was a good day trip. Though it was a long travel, the trip was planned well enough to not get us too tired. We were a group of 15 people and went in an air conditioned mercedes minivan which was very comfortable.
Martin was absolutely the best guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make the excursion a memorable one. We had just the right amount of time at all stops. Highly recommend this trip.
