Amazing day adventure, a little sad that there was no actual stop into any of the cotswolds villages just drove past. Tour guide was great, tonnes of bad dad jokes which made for a great atmosphere on the 12 hour trip. Also they were great at making sure everyone got back on the bus before leaving to the next destination, we ran a little late in the morning and they somehow managed to hold the bus and allow us to get on (I dont recommend trying this we got lucky). They did also offer if we couldn't make it they would check for other tours for the same day to get us into. Overall really great experience, would recommend grabbing a bite to eat when you get to bath as its a short ~ 2 hour time frame to see places and eat. The Roman Baths are quite expensive and a little lack luster so i say potentially skip this spot and explore other areas of the city. Definitely a bit more on the expensive side but staff were great and it was a smooth ride.
I had the best experience with Nicholas. His commentary was amazing. His knowledge of the places and insights what’s the best around the places was definitely helpful. He is funny and kept us entertained. Loved every bit of the trip. Cheers to Nicholas and FiFi
The Bizzaro Italian restaurant in the Paddington station area of London serves excellent food at a reasonable price and with an exceedingly friendly staff
James was awesome job at explaining what we are seeing and cracking a few jokes while doing so. Our bus driver tahim was also excellent at navigating the small roads and stayed calm with a road rager. Would 100% redo.
Our guide James was excellent. He explained various elements related to the visit throughout the day. Although the stop in Bath was a bit short, the visit related to Shakespeare's school was extraordinary. A note to history buffs, young and old, the schoolmaster is really interesting.
Did this trip today to bath, Stonehenge and Stratford. Our guide James was entertaining and well informed, he gave good tips to maximize our day. I thought the tour should include an access to see the Roman baths however.
James our guide and Firhim the Coach driver made an excellent paring for the day. James was very knowledgeable and his commentary throughout the day added a great deal to the experience. It was a long day but the Coach was comfortable and meant the time driving no issue
Our guide James and driver Faheem did a great job.
