What are people saying about England

DonnaK_S, Jun 2026

Mistake in booking info/ from a lady who loves to travel

Your company made a really bad mistake in where to meet at Victoria station. On my booking, on all my info, it say 7. It was not 7 it was 3. We went around and around and asked so many bus drivers. There is no number 7. It goes from 1/5. There is a 7 stop on the entrance to the station, and we thought maybe that. I know computers make mistakes, but you should have picked this one up. We made it my the skin of our teeth. As it turns out at one point for we were just asking for 7, we ran into our bus driver, who was not by his bus, and he was so sweet saying maybe it was across the street. We were just about ready to give up, one more stab. A young black English man said go down the buses ask again. Our driver was waiting for us at 3. I always use your company for tours. I have recommended you anlways. If you look up on your record I called and your AI lady gave me info I had , she also wrote back 7. Our hotel would love to book the travel for us. I said no, I like the way you give me all the info. As you can see this was a very stressful 1/2 hour which I did not need. Donna K Stellini Ps Bus driver was wonderful and I loved the entire adventure. It would have made me very sad if I missed this beautiful countryside at my age of 86. Please let me know how this happened.

Will was the best tour guide. Great and fun experience! Well worth it!

Will was the best tour guide. He was so funny and very informative. It was a fabulous experience for our family of five. Congratulations to him and his wife on their new baby! Please make sure you bring an umbrella no matter what! The weather changes in the blink of an eye.

Vernon_W, Jun 2026

Better than expected!

Lots of travel time required but well worth it! Lucy was our guide and provided lots of additional commentary and information to ensure we were entertained with interesting facts and Evan an occasional joke. This particular tour provided more access to the cliffs and some exceptional views. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone curious about these sorts of observations. Wonderful! Observations from down near the beach were less than expected, but the additional time allowed to explore on the various hikes at the top of the cliffs were truly appreciated. We got some very nice photos.

Lovely day in the Country

Long day but well worth it. Lots of history and beautiful country side! Luckily we had beautiful weather. Guide was good but my suggestion would be to assume no one knows anything about English history. I asked questions to gain a better understanding. Bus was nice.

Great day trip to Stonehenge and Bath

What a lovely experience we had visiting Stonehenge and Bath. Sam was full of history, fun facts and interesting side notes. Michelle was a great driver, even doing a 3 point turn (in a full size coach no less!) to avoid a road closure for which there was no forewarning. The rest stops were perfectly timed, Sam gave us a great list of options for sites and restaurants in Bath. We knew exactly what to expect at each moment.

Cotswolds Day Trip from London with Optional Village Lunch

Allex_E, May 2026

Great introduction to the Cotswolds

Our tour guide, Rowan, was fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic, and had plenty of quirky facts and stories to share as well. She also took care and the time to ensure everyone knew how to get to where they needed to after the tour ended, which I thought was a lovely touch. Our driver, Pietro, was also great - he always managed to find a way to pick us up and drop us down on time, and in very busy spots! The coach was comfortable, and importantly, air-conditioned! The villages were stunning/charming, and the lunch was very good. If I had any criticism it would be that there was not a huge amount of time to explore, although that was very much impacted by the amount of traffic on the road (very heavy, which obviously the tour operators are unable to control). Overall, a great introduction to the Cotswolds!

Best Viator trip I’ve Ever Taken

Ben was an incredible guide - knowledgeable, gregarious, patient, smart and a dry wit that kept me entertained throughout the trip. With his history degree from Cambridge, he kept my attention with interesting stories of historical figures that you probably didn’t read about in your history classes. Thank you Ben for a thoroughly delightful day.

Amazing tour guide, driver, and day!

Tour was very easy to find at the station and organized from the start. Phil our guide and Clive our driver were ABSOLUTELY top notch! They made the experience! We totally enjoyed the entire day. Recommendations for places to eat in the Cotswolds were on point. Time allowed at the various places was good. We loved our afternoon tea. The bus was comfortable and modern and had charging ports and cup holders at each seat. I would not have known about this tour company had I not used Viator.

Great tour!

Frank is an excellent driver and tour guide all in one. He makes this tour super fun and interesting. I was disappointed to learn that we couldn’t go inside Conwy Castle because there was filming going on, but we made the most of the outside views. I was blown away by the beauty of Snowdonia.
