What are people saying about London

EunJoo_H, Jun 2026

Highly recommend - best tour so far in UK

This was the best tour of many others we took on our week-long UK trip. The pace was reasonable, giving us enough time in each location, and the sites were thoughtfully chosen. Adam from Brighton & Beyond was our guide and we had a great experience with him! The end of the tour allows flexibility to spend time in Brighton before taking the return trip back to London, and he was so helpful in providing recommendations and even dropping us off where we needed to go. Highly recommend this tour! Also, some reviews state that taking the train then transferring to car is inconvenient. I found it to be the opposite - the train was very quick and it felt that when we transferred to car, they really tried to minimize the drive time between locations. After taking other tours that incorporated long drive times, this was a welcome change of pace.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford Day Guided Tour from London

Karen_C, Jun 2026

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford Excursion from London

The tour was very well-organized and timed, having three major sites to visit. Our tour guide, Kelvin, was quite energetic, personable, and knowledgeable. We appreciated his ongoing commentary throughout the bus ride about local history and suggestions for eateries and other sites to visit. Highly recommended for the ease of scheduling, comfort/transportation (our driver was great!), and access to three popular sites. One suggestion to consider, even if it means a slight increase in tour cost: provide a mid-bus ride water and snack of a local nature, like a scone, etc.

White Cliffs of Dover & Historic Canterbury Day Tour from London

Allen_B, Jun 2026

Trip to Dover and Canterbury

The guided trip to Dover and Canterbury was very good. Deklan, the tour guide, was very informative and made the trip enjoyable. He was also customer service oriented. Booking was smooth. The sites were great though we had some fog in Dover, but knew that would be a possibility. The coach was comfortable and clean.

Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London)

Patricia_M, Jun 2026

Lucky to have picked this tour!

Captured the essence of the Cotswolds. We had the good fortune to have Ollie as our tour guide. He was welcoming and friendly throughout the trip; historically knowledgeable about the Cotswolds; informative about how villages came into being; great sense of humor and engagingly funny.

Stonehenge and Bath Tour from London

Daramwright, Jun 2026

Great for solo travelers

Great experience as a solo traveler! John was very knowledge and kept a great flow to the tour. There was a little confusion about if the Roman baths and Jane Austen museum were both a part of the experience, but I was one or the other, not both. But that wasn’t on the tour company’s part.

Guided Luxury Paris Day Trip with Optional Lunch at the Eiffel Tower

Naomi_K, Jun 2026

Long day tour but well worth it! Very enjoyable!

We only had one day to visit Paris from London, so we chose this trip and are so glad we did. It was an easy train ride from London Paddington to Paris. Dave was our guide and he did a fantastic job of getting us around Paris, to the Eiffel tower and to the Louvre. Dave is personable and professional. The lunch at the Michelin star restaurant at the Eiffel tower did not disappoint and it was well organized. We had ample time to walk around the Eiffel tower, take photos and shop. A visit inside the Louvre was not included in this tour but we did stop there for a short visit to take photos and shop. The cruise down the Seine river was terrific as we saw so much from the boat including Notre Dame and the bridges. Very enjoyable day in Paris even though it was very hot that day. I recommend this tour if you have only one day to see Paris. It is a long day but well worth it!

The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London

Tu_T, Jun 2026

Unique little tour

Blenheim Palace is a great place to visit. It is undergoing extensive restoration that possibly will take several years. There is scaffolding covering the majority of its facade. The grounds are great to see. Stow-in-the-Wold is a cute little village in the Cotswolds. It is also home to St Edwards Church, which has the doors that are said to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien's Doors of Durin The Cotswolds themselves are beautiful countrysides and could be something that one could just drive around the hills if you have plenty of time. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey, there's a couple of familiar sites at Bampton where they filmed a few scenes. It's a quick visit but Bampton is nice little town

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Bath from London

Yibo_X, Jun 2026

Thank you for the great experience!

Lovely trip with three well-known sites done in the same day! Aaron was very kind and super knowledgeable for all the sites, including my favorite one Stonehenge, which made the trip just fascinating. Also shoutout to our driver Zenon who made it possible to travel 500+ km in a single day! Would definitely recommend it if you have a tight schedule visiting London and nearby

Cotswolds Villages and Oxford Full Day Tour from London

Stephanie_A, Jun 2026

Beautiful day trip

Great day trip to experience the countryside outside of Central London. Meetup was well organized and easy to get on. Tour bus was excellent accommodation. Drive was peaceful. Lucy our tour guide was fantastic and learned so much about this area and England overall. Had a splendid time and highly recommend if you have a day to spare while visiting London.

Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Full Day Guided Tour

Tambria_F, Jun 2026

Stoneheads comma bath comma and windsor castle experience

Our guide was Paul and our driver was Ahmed and IF your lucky enough to have them as your team you will be very lucky. Paul is so very knowledgeable and friendly and knows his history. Well worth a trip, and well worth the money! I would do it again in a minute.

Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour with Transport from London

Emily_K, Jun 2026

Convenient ride and friendly folks!

Great communication, easy to find meeting location and friendly folks greeting and driving the bus. The bus itself was convenient for traveling out to the Harry Potter Tour and the length of time spent there was sufficient in our opinion. FYI, I was thinking the chartered bus would have a bathroom like many chartered buses in the US but it did not (which was okay).

From London: Small-Group Cotswolds Villages Day Tour

David_L, May 2026

Good small group tour

This small group tour on a smaller bus worked really well in the tiny Cotswolds towns. Emily our guide described all the details of the towns as we went, helping us understand their history. There is a lot of driving out of and back into London, and limited time in the towns, so use your time wisely. Having lunch in Bourton on the Water was good, but it ate into the time we had to explore, so you may want to bring a snack on the bus and eat between the sites in order to spend all your “town time” actually experiencing the towns instead of sitting in a restaurant.
