What are people saying about England

The Cotswolds Tour From Bath (Small group)

Michelle_A, Apr 2026

Lovely Cotswolds day trip!

We so enjoyed our day seeing many of The Cotswolds villages. Our guide, Sean, made an extra stop and tailored the tour to our group. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and he was so gracious to take pictures of our friend group at scenic spots. Great experience, highly recommend!

Cotswolds Villages and Oxford Full Day Tour from London

Stephanie_W, Apr 2026

The architecture is beautiful and we really enjoyed our day

Informative, the guide had a wonderful personality and had so much local knowledge. While it would’ve been nice to have extra time in each location, the views and areas we got to see were picturesque. The guide kept to a very strict schedule which was appreciated. It was great to see all the locations in Oxford where some Harry Potter scenes were filmed. The history and stories were incredible. The architecture amazing. My teens even found it “cool”!

Cotswolds Small Group Tour from London

Nicola_F, Apr 2026

A great escape for the...

A great escape for the day from the hectic pace of sight seeing in the city. Our guide Saul was very knowledgeable and organized making sure we stayed on time. The villages were beautiful with lots of good places to eat and shop while taking great photos. It was a hot sunny day so villages very crowded but still plenty of time to explore. A beautiful area of England I’m glad I got to see and having a tour made it so easy.

White Cliffs of Dover & Historic Canterbury Day Tour from London

Anoma_A, Apr 2026

A must do tour White cliffs of Dover and Canterbury.

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.

She also seen us all the way through to the end of the tour back to London on the train.

Stonehenge Inner Circle Private Tour from London with Bath Visit

Linda_C, Apr 2026

Stonehenge & Bath Epic Tour

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.

Oxford and Traditional Cotswolds Villages Small-Group Day Tour from London

Dulce_C, Mar 2026

Love Rabbies but this itinerary was not for us

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.

Stonehenge & Bath Day Tour from London including Admission

Carla_K, Mar 2026

Nice day trip!

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!

Lots of time in a bus,...

Lots of time in a bus, but the driver kept the trip interesting. The towns were all very worth seeing. It’s difficult to grab a bite to eat and see the shops given the amount of time given for each stop, but that is to be expected on a day-trip tour. All-in-all very with the cost and time to see these cute villages.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford Day Trip from London

Richard_B, Mar 2026

Excellent adventure

Really great places to see…Evan Evans runs a very smooth operation…..we had a wonderful very knowledgable guide Kevin who did a fantastic job of explaining the history of each of these sites and sprinkling in tidbits of British history…it’s a busy day and could spend many hours at each of these sites but they do a great job of letting you at least have an appreciation for these amazing places…look forward to doing more tours with this company in the future…..

North Wales Adventure Sightseeing Day Trip from Liverpool

Courtney_C, Mar 2026

Amazing day trip

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.

The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London

Jessica_O, Jan 2026

Amazing Full day Tour

Loved this tour! Chrissy was a great tour guide! This was our first time in the UK and I feel this tour was a must do! From Blenheim to the Cotswolds to Bampton everything was amazing. My only gripe was I wish there was more time! With the size of Blenheim it would take a couple days to truly explore it, but it was still informative and overall very enjoyable. The Cotswolds were absolutely beautiful and scenic. Bampton was also cool to see (especially for Downton Abbey fans like myself!) it is a full day trip so comfy shoes and a nice warm coat are absolutely essential. I would certainly recommend this tour and go again!
