Comfort and convenience for the whole tour - Tour was nice, i would suggest to give more time to Bath as we gave limited time only to stay there. Also i would suggest that the coach/bus would have charging port so travellers can charge their phones. Overall thanks to Karen and Gary!! Well done

Great experience - The whole day was a fantastic experience, we loved every minute of it. The pub lunch was lovely and everyone was served very quickly. Stonehenge was amazing, Windsor Castle beautiful, we finished off in bath what a lovely city. A big shout out to Nick & Jermaine - Nick kept us entertained all day and looked after us from the minute we boarded the coach to the minute we got off he also helped people to get taxis who needed them. Jermaine’s driving was excellent got us everywhere safely and also entertained us with the great banter with Nick. We would definitely do another trip next time we are in London.

One for the books! - I travel a LOT, and I’ve been on many tours in many countries. In general I’m a tour snob, and try to avoid large group tours. I prefer smaller groups or exploring with just my travel companions. On this trip, though, I’m traveling solo so decided to take a larger group tour to take advantage of the logistical aspects involved in covering so much ground. Boy am I glad I did! This tour was hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on. Nicholas, our guide, was charming and funny but also gave useful information. Nick is a civil engineer as well as a tour guide, and his insights and obviously genuine appreciation for the historic architecture was great. Our driver did a fantastic job navigating a giant bus through all kinds of environments, and got us where we needed to be at exactly the right times so we could have as much time as possible in each destination. Last, although it was a very large group, it ended up feeling small. I came away from the tour with several friendships I didn’t have before. On the whole, I would highly recommend this tour. Had a wonderful time!

Well worth the money. - Enough time at each stop, except if you are a Harry Potter fan. The meal at Lavock was enjoyable but there was not enough time to visit Harry Potter sites. Tour guide, Leon was top notch and fun. 👍

A Quintessentially British Journey - Our tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath, culminating with a delightful pub dinner in Lacock, was nothing short of spectacular, encapsulating the essence of Britain's storied history and breathtaking landscapes. Under the guidance of Leon, whose enthusiasm for British heritage brought to life the rich tapestry of history surrounding these iconic sites, the day was both enlightening and immensely enjoyable. The adventure commenced at Windsor Castle, where we were immersed in the splendor and tradition of the British monarchy. The intricate details and fascinating history of the castle provided a majestic start to our journey, setting a high bar for the day. Next, we ventured to the enigmatic Stonehenge, where the ancient stones held secrets of a bygone era. Here, the narrative woven around this prehistoric monument captured our imaginations, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of its origins and the people who built it. Our exploration continued to the historic city of Bath, known for its stunning Georgian architecture and the Roman Baths that have attracted visitors for centuries. Strolling through the city's picturesque streets and exploring its rich heritage was a highlight, offering insights into both its Roman past and Georgian elegance. The day's journey culminated in the charming village of Lacock, where a traditional pub dinner in a historic setting was the perfect finale. The cozy ambiance of the pub, combined with traditional, hearty British fare, provided a delightful end to an unforgettable tour. With each destination, the seamless driving and professionalism of Carlos ensured a comfortable and hassle-free experience, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of each location. This tour is a must-do for anyone looking to explore the quintessential landmarks of Britain with expert guidance and in comfort. The journey from the royal halls of Windsor Castle, through the ancient mystery of Stonehenge, and into the architectural beauty of Bath, concluded with a quintessential British experience of dining in a traditional pub in Lacock, making for an unforgettable day steeped in history, culture, and culinary delight.

Best experience I’ve ever had - Nicolas and our driver where by far tour duo I’ve ever had and I’ve travelled around the world. Nicolas was very friendly outgoing and his knowledge about everything not just that thst was on the tour but answered questions not related to what we were seeing. For anyone taking this tour hope you get him because you will not be disappointed at all.

A quick and slightly lacking experience - Guide was great and you got to visit a lot of places. However, it felt as though you didn’t get enough time at any one place. Only a single hour at stone henge, I would have much preferred to have cut out one of the destinations and spent more time in each place. I believe you spend half the tour time on the bus, which is great if you like looking at the countryside. My second complaint is that there were no charge outlets, nor was there any WiFi on the bus even though it was advertised with having those! Lastly, Windsor castle was closed during our tour. I felt like that should have been made abundantly clear and t perhaps a discounted tour would have been in order for that day

Not Enough Time - Our tour guide, Derrick, and driver, Ricardo, were both amazing! Derrick is incredibly knowledgeable, super upbeat, and friendly. If you are fortunate to get on their tour, you won’t be disappointed! I only gave this excursion 3 stars because, it felt like we spent more time driving to the destinations and rushed to see things. When at Windsor, we did not get to see Queen Elizabeth II’s burial site because the line was too long, and moving slowly. Eventually, we had to get out of line and walk back to the coach parking area. Time at Stonehenge was adequate, we had time to walk around the entire monument, use the facilities, go into the gift shop, and grab a bite to eat. After that, we went to Lacock to eat at The George Pub. I was excited about being able to have lunch in a 14th century pub. I had fish and chips, and they were very tasty. Getting our lunch was very organized and little time is wasted. My husband had the burger and he did not care for it saying it was too dry. Depending on how quickly you eat, you may have more time to browse some of the cute shops than we did. Lastly, we went to Bath. We had about an hour to walk around, but some of the stores were already closed. We were advised not to pay to go into the Roman Baths because we did not have enough time to make it worth the admission fees. This being my first time in England, I did not know the distance between each location, and never took into consideration that we would be driving for most of the day. We arrived at the station and got on the coach around 7:30 am and returned (to a different location) around 8:30 or so. It was a long day. My humble suggestion is to do away with the Bath stop so people can spend more time at Windsor.

Disappointing - We got stuck in the tube and we notified Viatour we were running late. Viatour farmed the tour out to Premier Tours who would not wait for us. They gave us a tour that was 1/2 the price we paid and offered no refund. Viatour lost a customer because of the lack of transparency and customer service.
