Indeed , King Charles pases by in hi purple car and waved to all of us , my grandfather was super excited.

Buckingham Palace

Our tour guide was very informative on our way to the palace. Once inside, you get an audio box and the tour guide is done. You walk through on your own. At the end, there is a very long walk through the gardens to exit the palace grounds. That is the only negative we encountered! Other than that, it was great experience!

Stonehenge & Bath Day Trip from London

Geoffrey_L, Jul 2026

Bus ride and self guided

This is a tour of 2 sites — Bath and Stonehenge. Without a doubt, both are must see sites. For your money, you basically get a ride. The rest is self guided. So I recommend that before your visit you read up about Bath and Stonehenge. This will greatly enhance your experience. The ride itself is fine. Pickup at the bus depot is organized and easy. The bus is comfortable
