Carlos could hardly have...

Carlos could hardly have done better. As an American, Soho and the "West End" had been an integral part of my life since I was a kid in the 60s. Yet I really knew nothing about it. Carlos filled in all the blanks on an enriching, relaxing tour through all the alleyways, nooks and crannies of musical London. Thanks a lot, Carlos.

Stonehenge Inner Circle Private Tour from London with Bath Visit

Kris_A, Sep 2026

A singular experience at Stonehenge

We went on the sunrise tour with John. We were part of a very small group of people who have been able to go inside the stones. Inside Stonehenge, we had two wonderful guides, Tom and Sam. They divided our group of 49 people in half so that half the group could start inside the circle and half could have the information for the outside of the circle. We have taken many trips with Viator and John was one of the most exceptional guides we have ever had. As we traveled to Stonehenge, John had many funny stories about the area of London that we were going through. He took us on a nice walking tour of the village of Lacock as well as Bath, telling us many interesting things about both cities. For those of us who are Harry Potter fans, it was fun to see where some of the movie was shot in the village of Lacock.

Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cotswolds & Warwick Castle Day Trip

Chris_L, Sep 2026

Excellent day trip

This was a great day out with our guide Robert. Warwick castle was amazing. Robert gave us a quick orientation, made a few suggestions, then cut us free. We had the perfect amount of time there. Then on to Stratford-upon-Avon and Shakespeare's birthplace and a quick lunch. We closed out at Oxford, which was incredible. Robert gave us a superb walking tour- some history, some architecture, and even a little Harry Potter! He definitely knows his stuff. I waffled about doing this tour but I am very happy that I did.
