The sights were spectacular. I bought my ticket from the app, which did not make it clear that I had to buy another ticket to tour the Roman Baths, so all I did was walk around and admire the architecture of that pretty little city. More time needs to be given to the visit at Windsor Castle because I only had time to see two things: the chapel and Queen Mary's apartment.

Windsor Castle and Stonehenge were excellent. But very disappointed at Bath as unable to see the baths . Many tourists from the same same tour in our bus were able to book tickets to enter the baths and it was included . But our booking on the same day with same tour did not offer it at booking . So while they went off to see the baths we were left on our own without guide to do our own thing . No tickets were even available to buy . Not happy at all and spoilt it for me . Why was it not offered to all the tour ? Missed out !

The overall tour was good how ever the guide we had was terrible. Kevin left us at the Windsor castle he left early without realising he left 4 of us stranded at the castle. We reached on time as asked by him to meet. Then the support team asked us to go back to London or reach Stonehenge on our own. This was pathetic never had such experience in tour before. Luckily another bus of the same company helped us , the tour guide made efforts to accommodate 4 of us by offering his seat to us and made our tour complete. Can't stop thanking James tour Guide for helping us out of the way. This was highly unprofessional on part of Kevin and the company for not helping us at all when needed the most. I would not recommend to book a tour who has such guides.

One star is too much!! This experience was extremely disappointing from start to finish Guide is terribly curt, bordering on rude. He stated he sleeps well leaving people behind and he wants to instill dear (those are quotes) and true to his word, he left people behind at Windsor. Also, this was not advertised as a bi-lingual tour, yet the Guide, Godfrey, spent more time speaking Spanish than English. As an English speaker, in an English-speaking country, this was confusing, annoying and frustrating. I absolutely did nor pay for, nor want, a tour in Spanish. Lastly, the tour was tremendously rushed. There was not enough time for anything. We all literally raced through, barely having time to see Stonehenge by the time you either wait for shuttles or walk. And given Gidfrey's threats, we didn't dare be late so we couldn't see anything of Windsor castle and barely saw Stonehenge. This tour is a huge disappointment and waste of money. I will be leaving a very poor review, especially since he mostly spoke in Spanish, which seemed mostly like he was showing off that he's bilingual. Guide was also unavailable during stops like in Bath. Instead of being visible or acting like a guide and offering suggestions of things to do, he immediately left us to change clothes and go for a run. Then he slept on trip home, leaving passengers to Google and try to figure out if/what sights of possible interest we were passing.

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights. Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day. Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

Liked Stonehenge because we had time to circle the stones and not worry the coach would leave without us. No time to visit shop😢 The rest of the tour was very challenging. She walked so fast we couldn't keep up if we were delayed by foot or car traffic. Felt so rushed to get back to coach on time didn't really see Windsor castle Missed the Oxford tour as we could see the guide or hear her after we were delayed by traffic. Overall the tour was most unsatisfactory . The itinerary didn't include note about running to keep up. Sorry can t not recommend your services

It was a very good experience, the transportation was excellent. Robert was an excellent guide, very cordial, even told us during the trip a lot of information about the places we were passing through, all very well organized and synchronized. It would have been nice to spend more time in Windsor because it is worth it, but it is understandable that the times are according to the development of the day, I recommend it!

The actual trip was great and the guide was fantastic. But on the "headout" webpage you advertised this tour as "cotswold" but it did not stop at any of the villages. Althou Oxford and Stratford upon Avon are within the cotswold location, your advert was misleading to state "cotswold" in the tour and this should be made clearer.

Nothing as my tour was cancelled! I therefore missed out on seeing the Cotswolds and where Downton Abby was filmed, which I had booked my visit around. I was not given other options for the same tour. I ended up taking a train to Blenheim Palace on my own. I requested a refund immediately upon notification of cancellation and received a response that they would work on it, but have not received a refund yet. And now you are asking how the tour went? This is nuts.

The guy commentating had a great sense of humour with some good one liners i.e. the beach/research . TBH I definitely would prefer this than the pre recorded commentary, be aware he advised passengers to get the APP to listen to commentary and also in different languages. The boat was clean and very smooth sailing, loads of space on our trip.
The only reason I didn't give it 5* was the cost of the drinks but it was my choice whether to pay it or not I suppose. Would go again. My grandson loved it.

Comfortable bus. Driver Patrick and guide Chrissie friendly and Chrissie knew a lot about all the sights.
Everything was well organized. Despite not being able to go to Oxford due to a blowout on the highway. Fortunately Patrick was able to stop the bus on an emergency lane. Waiting for new transportation took time and it was too late to go to Oxford. Even so, we were still on the road for 11 hours. We were to receive a refund from the bus company. This was also arranged the same day.
Too bad v Oxford, can happen and handled well and quickly.

The experience was awsome. I felt like Joey and Chandler visiting London. (Friends people will know what I am talking about)
What I loved about it was the fact that we had the option to hop on and off whenever we wanted, which gave us the chance to stop at the sites that we wanted to explore further.
Also the price compared to other companies was good.
Definitely recommend.
