What are people saying about South East England

Windsor Castle Admission Ticket

Jane_P, Nov 2026

Viator impossible to get hold of if you need to

The experience once we got in was good. However we had a problem with the ticket . It was for the wrong date so we had to purchase another on site. I tried to contact Viator via phone as I still had 24 hrs (just) to change or cancel tickets. Unfortunately there was a long wait on the phone so tried to cancel on line but it wouldn’t cancel them. I have reached out online to Viator but 5 days later have had no response . So my advice don’t use Viator to book your tickets in case anything goes wrong last minute. They are impossible to get hold of.

Oxford University Walking Tour With University Alumni Guide

Nicola_F, Oct 2026

Amazing, definitely feel better informed!

What an amazing experience. Sam Day was our group's tour guide and how he remembers so much information, dates, names, stories of events, as well as information about the different colleges is truly impressive. We had people from France, Australia, USA and UK present and he was able to effortlessly bring in gems of information that related to all represented countries which made it feel more inclusive. The tour was over 2 hours, but never boring, as Sam used humour and anecdotal information to keep us entertained and interested. My teen daughter is thinking about applying to Oxford and we wanted to see it and hear from an alumni. Sam answered all questions as we went along but stayed and answered a few specific extra from us afterwards too. (As the rest of the group were tourists and did not include potential students.) Nothing was too much trouble. We came away feeling so well informed and are now keen to attend the university open days to learn even more. Thank you again, this was money well spent and definitely the highlight of our trip so far! Nicki and Hannah from Derbyshire

Stonehenge half day tour from Southampton

Jo_H, Oct 2026

Stonehenge and country roads

Great tour. Steve was prompt, courteous, and he graciously answered our many questions abovut Stonehenge and local history. Due to some roadwork, we were able to travel some back roads and see many small and charming villages along the way. Just the right length for a Stonehenge tour

Harry Potter Walking Tour of Oxford Including New College

Eric_S, Oct 2026

Fun Harry Potter tour

Our guide Alissa was great. She was knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. Seeing the quad at New College where Mad Eye Moody turned Malfoy into a ferret was the highlight. Alissa was full of Harry Potter facts and we had a fun trivia competition between the four Hogwarts houses. Some of the tours connection to Harry Potter was tenuous at best, but overall it was very worth it and enjoyable.

Extended: Oxford University & City Tour With Christ Church

Kaye_G, Oct 2026

Engaging informative tour

A highly informative and engaging tour of the university colleges and the history of Oxford. Elliot bought lots of first hand student experience and explained how the Oxford system of teaching differs to other universities. It was wonderful to have his excellent knowledge of Latin as he was able to translate headstones within the chapels etc. We thought the tour provided excellent value and was a great insight into this ancient and fascinating university town.

90 Minute Classic Walking Tour of Oxford

Melissa_R, Sep 2026

A “Not To Miss” walking tour of Oxford

Andrew was a fantastic guide. In just over 90 minutes, he brought Oxford's history to life with a perfect blend of knowledge, humour, and storytelling. We explored the famous colleges and city landmarks while learning about Oxford's remarkable alumni and residents, including C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, Oscar Wilde, Dr Seuss, Hugh Grant, and Stephen Hawking. Along the way, Andrew shared plenty of memorable anecdotes, including the somewhat cringe-worthy story of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke's seven-second yard-glass record at the Turf Tavern! An informative, engaging, and enjoyable introduction to Oxford. Highly recommended.

Southampton: Post-Cruise Tour to London via Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor

Leeanna_R, Aug 2026

Great time on a great tour

We had an amazing time! Our tour guide Jane was awesome and very knowledgeable, she was also funny. Loved listening to her talk about Stonehenge. The bus was easy to locate outside the cruise terminal, and everyone was super nice. The bus ride was comfy in a coach bus. We were very lucky to not only be early to many things, but we had excellent weather. Overall I highly recommend this tour, especially if Jane is your tour guide. Loved it!!

Oxford Sightseeing River Cruise Along The University Regatta Course

Roy_A, Aug 2026

Smooth sailing with Paul!

Paul was an excellent skipper on a very fun, calming, quaint cruise! We chose to head down the Cherwell instead of directly down the Thames, giving us a lovely view of the colleges and a chance to poke fun at all the punts and peddlers along the way. A brilliant way to spend a late morning!

Cotswolds Villages Full-Day Small-Group Tour from Oxford

Colleen_M, Jul 2026

Fantastic!

Our driver Sonya was excellent! Helpful, knowledgeable, organized, lovely guide for our first trip through the Cotswolds. The transportation was quite comfortable. Would definitely recommend this tour. The towns were beautiful and full of charm. (Although avoid summer weekend if possible as a couple towns so crowded it took away from the charm).

Excellent transfer from Southampton

Vladimir was an excellent driver and was extremely easy to work with for our pickup from Southampton. He contacted me the afternoon before via text and whatsapp to introduce himself. Just excellent, excellent, communication! Very nice and clean commuter van. He loaded all the luggage for us. Can't say enough nice about him. Would highly recommend and would gladly use him again.

Stonehenge Tour from Southampton to London

Kim_H, Mar 2026

Great Tour from Southampton to London

This tour from the cruise port to Stonehenge with drop off at our hotel was an excellent way to get from the cruise to the hotel. Our tour guide Jane was entertaining and had immense knowledge about the towns we drove through and was very passionate about the history of Stonehenge. We learned a lot and developed an appreciation for Stonehenge. Our driver Neil was excellent and we felt safe throughout the trip even when he drove in busy traffic and on narrow roads.
