The experience brought the history of the past and present to life. A meaningful experience to visit one of the favourite homes of the British Monarch. The castles rooms and hanging paintings brought back memories of Kings & Queens studied from history. It was well worth the visit!
An Enjoyable Day of Sightseeing/Post Cruise Transfer
We were warmly greeted in the arrival hall at the ocean dock in Southampton by Salvador. Salvador provided interesting and navigational narration throughout our journey, but also gave us 45 minutes or so to nap on the bus in quiet. This itinerary is a terrific way to sightsee along the way while in transit from the ship to either central London or Heathrow.
The majority of the tour is outdoors so dress appropriately. We had glorious sun for ours which made a big difference. Our guide, Elena, was brilliant, very knowledgeable about the history and architecture of the buildings. She was willing to answer any questions and gave lots of interesting extra details.
I would recommend this tour and the guide we had. It was easy to book online but it would be useful to know that you need a wristband to join the tour group.
We had a fantastic experience! the entire team was incredible. Despite us arriving late due to a train delay, they were so accommodating and made sure we didn't miss out, which we really appreciated!
Our guide Valentine was wonderful, extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and especially great with the kids! She brought the tour to life in a fun and interactive way. Gabi at the reception was also fantastic- Welcoming, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend- 10/10!
Our tour guide Sonya was prompt. Immediately made us feel comfortable on the ride. Sonya is relaxed and very knowledgeable about both the history of the Cotswold villages we visited and the country side. We had plenty of time for photos and perfect amount of time at each village. I would highly recommend this tour. Sonya was very conscientious in returning some people to train station in time to catch their train. Thank you for a too notch tour.
Our tour guide and student at Oxford, Antonia, was tremendous. She was very informative and told wonderful stories which briyght to life what it’s like to be a student at Oxford. Pro tip: give yourself a good hour to go through Christ Church at the end. We had to rich and get a train, and wish we could have lingered longer. Highly recommend this tour!
A very time efficient way to tour interesting places on the way from Southampton back to London
This small-group tour by minibus was very efficient and comfortable — a great way to see more in a limited time. I only wish we could have spent a few extra minutes at each stop, though it’s understandable that some travelers needed to reach Heathrow by a specific time.
Our guide, Marek, was outstanding — clearly well-prepared and very knowledgeable. He shared interesting insights throughout the journey and even sent us photos from the trip afterward, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our driver, Haleskey, was excellent as well — attentive, professional, and always making sure everyone was comfortable and safe.
Overall, a well-organized, enjoyable, and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
We enjoyed excellent, friendly, knowledgeable, timely service from our driver Dushi. She was there to pick us up at our hotel in perfect time, and had great tips on our Highclere experience. She was really friendly and stayed onsite while we had our Highclere experience so was immediately ready when we were ready to depart and take us back to our hotel. It made the whole day easy.
Our guide was very nice and cheerful. The drive to Stonehenge was a bit long and the guide didn’t talk all the way. Once to Stonehenge she walked around with us and gave great insights. Our driver was great, but we felt bad; the luggage was heavy and he had to carry 2 walkers and a wheelchair onto the bus. Please be sure to tip well!
Why are a simply take a transfer to Southampton when you can also spend time at Windsor Castle? Taking the tour was a easy decision and it didn't disappoint. We had an excellent driver who got us to the ship on time. Plus we had nearly two hours at the castle including Saint George's chapel and village of Windsor. We had access to the audio guides and had just the right amount of time to experience the Queen's favorite palace.
Our driver arrived early because he knew better than we did that it would not take long to get through customs etc. He was very flexible, communicated with us and met us at the airport. The trip to Southampton was delightful and just what we needed to get there for our cruise. All was just perfect.!
Transfer from London Heathrow to hotel in Southampton with stop in Stonehendgr
This was a perfect choice for us who flew into London Heathrow to get to Southampton to join a cruise. The stop at Stonehenge was just enough of a side trip after an overseas flight to start up our vacation. Our driver was very friendly and met us inside.
