Alex was an excellent tour guide - he filled the tour with humorous tales and history of the areas we passed through.
Have participants introduce themselves personally with name and country
We had a great time and we had a great guide
It was incredible and you see lots of things in one go. Totally, worth it!! Our guide, Tom from Rabbie’s was amazing!!!
It was nice to travel in a small group but van/bus was a bit uncomfortable. I felt rushed throughout the entire trip.
Iggy was a great tour guide, and all the stops were beautiful! This was a great tour to book for travelers that don't have a car.
A truly complete and nice tour! The guide was very helpful, speaking clearly and understandably so that we could grasp everything! He told us a lot about the villages we visited and many other curiosities about all the stops we made. At Stonehenge, there is the option to download an audio guide in your own language that accompanied us throughout the visit to the monument. Highly recommended
An excellent complete excursion with a friendly and attentive guide, highly recommended without hesitation. Allows you to visit the country while being taken care of, especially for driving on the left!
Very nice guide who knew a lot to tell and a beautiful trip. A great experience and definitely value for money.
Timing for all of the stops was perfect. Guide Alex was very good - knowledgeable and amusing. He was clear on what to expect in advance of each stop and made sure passengers were comfortable and safe at all times
