It was a wonderful experience......would highly recommend !!!!! The tour guide was probably one of the best we've ever had on a tour!!!!
Richard was lovely! 3 places is too much. Bath + Stonehenge is sufficient. Windsor can be its own thing. Not enough time to tour the cities, eat, or appreciate the culture/moment…
Our trip was exceptionally led by our Tour Leader, John and conveniently provided by our driver Robert. They were professional, thoughtful, and accommodating every step of the way. John’s wealth of knowledge and recommendations made the experience personable. The bus was clean and the AC was perfect. They cultivated a friendly ambiance for the entire family. We recommend the experience, A+!
Great tour, great guide (Steve). This tour should be a two day tour to allow more time to sightsee
Steve was an excellent guide. Having led tours for the past 26 years, he had fascinating stories about almost everything. He knew the perfect time to arrive in Windsor so we could avoid long queues, and he shared so many interesting facts about the famous people who lived in Bath. His knowledge, experience, and sense of humor made the tour truly enjoyable. We had a fantastic day and would highly recommend this tour.
Steve was amazing! He provided a history of the places we saw. Would say that the commentary of places we passed and history of those was even more interesting. He gave clear instructions on what to expect when starting the vist. That help us planning the breaks and food. On the other hand we have had a few hiccups with initial booking and experience with Viator. We initially booked a different trip. 3 days before the trip I went to the site and noticed we had some msges explaining our trip was canceled. Upon a few calls to customer service we were able to book this tour on the same day.
I had a fantastic time visiting Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath. Everything was well organized, and each location was amazing. A special thank you to our guide, Steve, who shared interesting facts throughout the coach journey, kept everyone informed, organized the tour perfectly, and made the day enjoyable from start to finish. Many thanks as well to our driver, Fasal (I hope I’ve spelled the name correctly). He was very friendly, drove safely and smoothly, and made the journey comfortable. I highly recommend this tour! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great tour! Better than expected. Steve was our guide on the bus. He gave a fantastic history of not only places we were going but the etymology of place names and a variety of other facts. We wish he had given the site tours as well. Windsor Castle was very interesting and Bath was a beautiful city we wish we had more time in. Overall worth it and would highly recommend.
Steve and Fisal were terrific! They arranged a bus swap during our first stop as the first coach had a bad smell. Could have derailed the day but all was very smooth. Highly recommend!
Steve was a wonderful tour guide. He told us a lot of interesting things along the way and he was very funny.
