This was an amazing tour. It was a long day but seeing so many fascinating sites was so worth it. Stonehenge is still such a mystery, Bath is a typical countryside town and Stratford on the Avon is brimming with history. Great tour and the tour guide, Sev, was so knowledgeable and friendly. She really helped elevate the tour to higher level.

We actually did the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath trip with the expectional AL, fantistic AL, Alan, with one L!!!! He was very enteraining, and had so much knowledge to deliver in a fun filled easy to remember brainwashing way!!!!!! Highly recommond this tour to everyone and if you get sensation AL, Alan, your very lucky!!!!!

My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip especially thanks to the enthusiasm and humor of our guide. We practically had Stonehenge to ourselves since we departed early from London. The visit to Bath and the Jane Austen museum was simply delightful. Would have liked spending a little more time in Stratford, but it is understandable that on a tour running on such a tight schedule as this one, time limitations are needed. Overall, we were very satisfied and had a wonderful day!

Absolutely brilliant day. A wonderfully talented, eccentric and inspirational tour guide (DAVID) made this tour very, very special. Highly recommended and request David as your tour guide. You will see what I mean.....just fantastic. C

A fantastic day made great by our wonderful guide David. The commentary made each visit interesting even for my children. It was a huge day but definitely consider it if you are only in London for a short time.

Review by: swamp1sg	December 2011
Even though it was a rush, we did enjoy the day. I would have liked to have one stop in the Cotswalds.

Review by: douglas b	December 2011
Our tour was cancelled because we were the only two signed up for it. We were offered an alternate tour that worked out quite well. We enjoyed the tour. It was well organized and well timed.

Review by: Surabhi N	November 2011
Was FANTASTIC. Joanne and Chris made the journey lovely. A little more time in Bath would have been great!

Review by: Loreen G	November 2011
The two star rating does not reflect the England in One Day Trip. When I got to Victoria Station the morning of my tour, I was told it had been cancelled due to too few people signing up. I was not notified prior (and had only booked the week before I went on the day trip) so had to make a decision on the spot and went on their Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath day trip. It was OK. We were rushed all day long, so as someone who wants to experience and take everything in, doing those three activities in one day is too much. We weren't able to wander through Windsor Castle for one hour - we had 45 minutes. I feel we had enough time at Stonehenge - around one hour and we were only one hour and 15 minutes in Bath - not enough time to go through the Roman Baths and have extra time to wander through that beautiful city. I again want to emphasize that this is not a rating of the England in One Day Trip - however I warn others who book the tour that apparently it may get cancelled and you won't know until the day of! Be prepared to maybe needing to make some quick decisions.

We had a good time on this tour. It started off early at 0815 but, you were on the bus and could nap on the way to Stonehenge. The guide was great, his older years shown through with so much knowledge and side facts that you might not get with younger guides. He, Paul, was disaplinned (sp?) and kept everyone in line, thankfully. "Be back at X and no later" I like the old guy. Going on to Stratford was neat, I would like to return someday there. The driver was a good gal as well. She drove safely and well. I would definitely do this tour again or recommend it.

Review by: Kulwant Singh S	October 2011
Excellent. A scene from 'Much ado about nothing' was brilliant indeed. Portrayal of characters was enjoying. Both deserve commendation. Despite time constraint, the tour to Stratfort will remain a memorable one for years to come. The lady tour guide kept the travellers in a jolly mood throughout. The pilot of the bus was also very cooperative. Both deserve appreciation. God bless them.

Review by: Kyoko G	October 2011
In Cotswolds we just saw a few houses from the bus and never got off. You shouldn't include Cotswolds on your site. We were really looking forward to visiting Cotswolds.

Review by: Donna P	October 2011
great tour would have loved more time in Bath

Review by: Wai-yee P	October 2011
Bath, Stonehenge, Stratford upon Avon are beautiful and are a must see parts of England.

Review by: Ann F	October 2011
Wonderful tour, fantastic guide...but be prepared for a very long day.

Review by: Vivian D J	October 2011
This trip was just great! London is a must see.

Review by: Corrine H	October 2011
A good way to see lots in a little time...the tour guide and driver were great and handled even the mishaps with ease and grace..

Review by: James W	October 2011
Had a really good day. We were only in London for 3 days and wanted to see a bit of the countryside as well. It was exactly what we wanted and the tour guide and driver were very good.

Review by: Melanie K	October 2011
limited time in each place, got yelled at if we were one minute late, the tour didnt stop at cottswolds therefore this shouldn't be advertised. The house you see on the left was seen in 1 second on the bus with no stopping. usually i dont have any problems with viator but was deeply dissapointed in this tour

Review by: basil's mom	October 2011
Great tour. Loved the tour guide, he was able to impart a lot of information in a humorous way and kept us on schedule. Would book another tour with him as a guide.

Review by: Alex Z	October 2011
We weren't prepared for the amount of time spent traveling and the very limited time at each stop.

Review by: Cheryl S	October 2011
We really enjoyed this trip. Our guidewas knowledgeable, telling us all we needed to know, yet kept quiet at other times, allowing us to take in the countryside. Bath was excellent and we really could have spent more time there and less at Stratford on Avon. Both places were enjoyable.

Review by: margi	October 2011
LOVED THIS TOUR, BATH WAS BREATH TAKING. AND THE COUNTRY SIDE BEAUTIFUL. STONE HENGE WAS MAGIC

Review by: PamJR	October 2011
Fantastic tour guide who provided so much information and had everyone laughing at times. It was obvious he loved his job which made our tour quite enjoyable. We got to all the sites with plenty of time in each place. It was paced perfectly and we avoided all the tourist lines since everything was booked for us.

Review by: Steven S	October 2011
Overall, not a bad trip. It was rushed due to a late start so we could only spend about 45min at Stonehenge, which really was not much time (sounds like long enough, but trust me, it is not even close after you park and make your way to the site). Same issue with Bath, beautiful city, just not enough time to look around. If you are looking for a taste of each of these places, great, but if you are like me and really like to look around and not be rushed, consider the longer, dedicated trips to these places.

Review by: Tony	September 2011
Tour Guide excellent,venues good but its a long day out

Review by: Esedra S	September 2011
A memorable and much-recommended trip! The guide was too chatty for my liking, but still tolerable. As the trip covers a lot of ground, we werent left with enough time to see Bath. Our bus got stuck in traffic and we ended up being dropped off in London a bit later than expected. One learns a lot by having a guide on the bus. But if you have the time, and a car, try driving to Bath and Stonehenge by yourself to have more time to discover the place. All in all, our trip was very enjoyable and good value for money. We had a lovely time.

Review by: beverly s	September 2011
The bus was uncomfortable. Not enough leg room. Our guide ran through Bath and we couldn't keep up. No real time for lunch.

Review by: Natalya	September 2011
Not enough time really for 4 places to see in one day. I wish we could spend more time in Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon.

Review by: Lily F.	September 2011
Fantastic tour! Not only did we see some of the most beautiful areas of England, but we had the good fortune of having a superb guide in Alan Doyle and a phenomenal driver in Joanne. They deserve a pay raise for sure! :)

Review by: Brian D	September 2011
We all thought that Stonehenge was boring. Otherwise, it was worthwhile.

Review by: Peggy C	September 2011
This was a very good, informative tour with a good tour guide. the only problem that I had with the tour was that at the end of it, 8:30pm we were dropped off "in London" not close to our pickup point or our hotel. We were unsure of our surroundings in a strange town with only verbal directions from the tour guide as to how to get to our hotel. Otherwise, we were completely satisfied. Need to work on the drop off points for these tours.

Review by: Natsuki O	September 2011
No one picked me up at the hotel. I was waiting for 30 min. I called the tour office, but I had to go to Victoria station by myself by cab and was told "we cannot do anything even if you miss the coach." You did not pick me up and just blamed me. I had really bad day. I also e-mailed the tour office after the tour, however no one has replyed to me. very bad manner. The tour guide was good though.

Review by: Janice D	September 2011
We had wonderful weather and Stonehenge was fabulous. We didn't have enough time in Bath to see the Roman baths but we gave it a speed walk which was a little disappointing. Stratford was very nice and the champagne and scone was a nice touch. The only very disconcerting aspect of the trip was the dropping off. We were let off near our hotel, but our guide wasn't so kind to our English nonspeaking travel mates. He dumped them in the middle of London and pointed them to a bus stop. I felt very sorry for them as it was obvious they were confused. Premier should admonish our tour guide for not giving them a little extra care.

Review by: Randy	September 2011
This was a great trip and well worth the price we paid. Our tour guide was Paul and he was excellent! We saw so much in one day. Especially if you have limited time in London, this is a great way to see a little bit of the rest of England. I not only have visited London but can now also check Stratford, Bath and Stonehenge off my list as well. We highly recommend this excursion.

Review by: Shaun O	September 2011
Enjoyed our guide John reciting Shakespeare's sonnets with a Dublin accent. Stonehenge and Bath were wonderful. It's a long drive to Stratford-upon-Avon, one might want to take the Stonehenge and Bath tour and see more of Bath. Overall an excellent experience. I will recommend it to others.

Review by: Frain P	September 2011
We loved this trip and again we saw lots of countryside which we wanted. The tour guide was great.

Lovely trip

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2010
A great day trip from London! We felt that we really got a taste of the English countryside.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	June 2010
Enjoyed the trip. Would have liked to spend more time in Bath and less time in Stratford on Avon.

Review by: Carolina G, Argentina	April 2010
Beautiful sunny day visiting the English countryside, plenty of time to visit around, very friendly guide and driver!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	April 2010
This trip packed in a lot! I wish our time in Stratford Upon Avon could have been a little longer, but it was really an amazing experience seeing Stonehenge, Bath and Stratford Upon Avon in one day.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	April 2010
It was a wonderful day and great way to see a lot in a short amount of time.

Review by: Adrian C, United States of America	January 2010
We had a wonderful guide and the sights were worth every penny!

Review by: Rajiv V, United States of America	January 2010
A good way of taking in three sites in one day. The trip was well organized and we liked our guide, whose descriptions added to our appreciation of the places we visited. It is a bit hurried but that's unavoidable given the amount of driving around involved! We had about half an hour at Stonehenge which was more than enough especially in the cold. At Bath, we had enough time to visit the Roman baths and get lunch some people may decide to skip the baths and see more of the town. At Stratford, we enjoyed the tour of Shakespeare's home and also had some time to walk around the neighborhood a bit. Overall, it's a good experience, just keep in mind that, because of the time limitations, you're not going to get a comprehensive look at Bath or Stratford!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	November 2009
It was a WONDERFUL day! I really enjoyed myself with just a few things I would have changed. The majority of our time we spent in Bath, and that was by far the most boring. We didn't see Austen's birthplace, just walked around the city. I would have loved to had time to see Shakespeare's grave or have had more than just a few minutes in the birthplace gift shop.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	November 2009
It was an excellent trip. The guide was excellent and humorous.

Review by: Jaru S, Malaysia	November 2009
This trip was absolutely fantastic. I and my wife enjoyed every bit of it. The trip was very well coordinated and I thought it would be a good idea to include other interesting places on the country side to see.

Review by: Daniel & Petya V, Finland	November 2009
We had a guide who besides humour had a vast amount of knowledge. We learned things we would never had read in any books and also many tips that were useful during that day and the rest of our stay. For an one day trip this was quite enough and still we were back in London in time for dinner.
