My only complaint was that I wish we had more time. But they gave us as much as they could considering we visited three places. Excellent tour. Our guide, James, was the best! Extremely knowledgeable and just the right amount of British wit. Our driver, Thomas, did a fantastic job and was extremely friendly. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and can’t wait to book another next time we are back in London.

Wonderful trip! A great full day. The whole trip was great. Stonehenge was very interesting. Our guide Leon was extremely knowledgeable and made our experience at Stonehenge even better. We loved the trip and it was a terrific day. The fish and chips at the pub lunch were quite good.

5* JasmineKelly, Dec 2023  [Source: Viator]

Memorable experience! Saint Nicholas was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and informative. He made this tour a lot of fun with his singing, dancing, and his jokes. If I ever come back to London I’d book this tour just to be able to enjoy his company again. This tour involved a little bit of everything. My daughter and I enjoyed learning about the history of each stop and we enjoyed the pub lunch.
