Great tour - Bill was a great tour guide. He was very friendly and informative. The time of the tour was well designed for our expectations of a group tour. If you're looking to do side adventures possibly look at other options. It is a full day going to key interests in each area. Thanks for a great tour.

Great Day Trip - Touring the Costswolds in a small, luxury van is the way to go. Our guide Esther was fabulous and provided entertaining and amusing anecdotes about the area throughout the day. There was enough time spent in each location to enjoy the stop. (pro tip: there is a small shop across from where you are dropped off in Avebury where you can buy sandwiches/drinks and which you can enjoy sitting amongst the standing stones)

A very well planned day - The van was comfortable, our guide was friendly, helpful and interesting. It was a long day and you were able to choose between exploring or relaxing at a cute cafe or outdoor spot.

Lovely tour in the Cotswold, Castle Combe, Lacock, Avebury and Stonehenge - The tour is lovely, you will see in one day three beautiful villages and many beautiful landscapes in the Cotswolds and the countryside, Avebury and Stonehenge. Visiting Stow on the wold would have made it perfect for me. Andy is a fun and knowledgeable guide, special thanks to him.

A Perfect Day in the Cotswolds and Stonehenge with an Outstanding Guide - We had an absolutely wonderful experience on our tour with Bill. From start to finish, he was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating history and little-known facts that really brought both the Cotswolds and Stonehenge to life. His passion for the places we visited was obvious, and it made the entire day feel much more meaningful and engaging. Bill was also exceptionally friendly and approachable, making everyone in the group feel comfortable and welcome. He struck the perfect balance between providing detailed information and giving us time to explore and enjoy the scenery on our own. The Cotswolds towns were charming and picturesque, and Stonehenge was truly unforgettable—both made even better by Bill’s insightful commentary and thoughtful guidance. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking for a well-organized, informative, and genuinely enjoyable tour experience.

Incredible tour! - This was an incredible experience! The Cotswold villages were beautiful, Avebury was amazing, and of course Stonehenge was mesmerizing. Bill was an excellent tour guide, he was funny and knowledgeable and gave us the perfect ratio of guided touring and independent time in each location. 10/10 would highly recommend MadMax tours to anybody with the opportunity to go!
