Top England Day Trips - page 3

The white cliffs of Dover was so pretty and the view of the port from the cliffs was so scenic. Canterbury is a lovely historic city with familiar poets statues erected in the way. The cathedral was awesome. The guide was very knowledgeable. The fellow tourist were very friendly .Real value for money spent. Enjoyed every bit.

This was an amazing tour. I actually extended the last day of my vacation by a day in order to take this tour and had zero regrets. There was plenty of time to explore the inner circle and take tons of pictures. The tour guides were knowledgeable. The stops at Lacock and Bath were awesome too! Absolutely loved this bucket list event.

Mannin, our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable! Cloudy evening at Stonehenge but worth every minute inside inner circle. Learned so much about Neolithic life! Worth every penny. Prior to Stonehenge we were in Windsor….as castle was closed had a longer historical tour of town. Mannon was extremely knowledgeable, honest and kind. The time in Windsor was more relaxed since castle was closed. Rather enjoyed the extra time learning the history of buildings and town. Thank you Mannon and our bus driver Kacy. A wonderful day! Stonehenge should be a must!!!

We really enjoyed this day trip to Stonehenge and Bath. We had about an hour and a half at Stonehenge. Because we arrived early and got on one of the first shuttles it wasn’t too crowded at the stone circle. We spent close to an hour at the circle and that left us enough time to quickly check out the exhibits and gift shop. It’s not enough time to also take the walking path to or from the visitor center to the henge.. In Bath, we were sorry to skip the walking tour, but we wanted to see the Baths and get something to eat. The baths are pretty extensive and even doing the audio tour fairly quickly took over an hour, leaving enough time for a fairly quick lunch and a short stroll in Bath. We could easily have stayed longer at either stop but it is already a long day. The bus also stops once on the way to Stonehenge in the morning and on the way back to London after Bath as there is not a toilet on the coach. The bus driver and guide were both terrifically friendly and we enjoyed the commentary on the bus. If anything, we would have loved even more commentary. The driver and guide also emphasized that the bus would not wait long for stragglers and the 50 or so folks did all show up within a minute or two off the scheduled departure time. All in all, a very nice day!

This was my 5th tour with Rabbies! Their customer service has always been excellent and the small coach is always great and comfortable. I can never fault the company itself just that the itinerary did not suit our needs. We found that we needed so much more time to explore Oxford than the 2 hours. We definitely could have gone without the visit to the Cotswolds. They were very quick stops and I wish we had spent that time in Oxford. This tour is more like private transportation. It would’ve made more sense for us to take the train from London into Oxford for the day and done a walking tour. In my experience, the multi day tours are what Rabbies is excellent at! Their one day tours are so rushed but I imagine that would be the same with any other tour company on this schedule.

Frank was an excellent tour guide. He gave us great food and site recommendations at every stop on the itinerary. He made the travel time on the bus a breeze with a curated playlist to match the scenery and fun black sheep games. As far as the stopping points go on the itinerary, they were all beautiful and gave us a nice quick glimpse of northern wales. I would highly highly recommend this as a day trip if you can fit it in your trip.

Tom was an amazing tour guide- very funny and yet very knowledgeable. The villages chosen were lovely, but I would have preferred more time in Bourton-on the-water and skipped Stow-in the-wold. I felt like there was a lot more to see in Burton and not much in Stow. There was just a small group of us which made it more enjoyable and the steak pie at the restaurant was fantastic!

The experience was well worth the trip. I would recommend at Windsor Castle to visit the Abbey first. The living quarters are neat but there is just so much you can run out of time if not paying attention. It’s a nice walk to the enterance gate. Make sure and get down to the parade ground and exit to see the changing of the guard at 11:00. Stonehege was a must see for me and it is pretty good. For the record the stones are not buzzing. Oxford was great as well. Nice tour. As a huge Tolkien fan I was wanting to see the pub “The Eagle and the Child” pub. A place Tolkien and his friends hung out at. Turns out you are one block from the pub. Our tour guide Peter was excellent. Very informative.
