Great way to see a lot of the area if you’re limited in time. We visited in order, Castle Comb, Lacock, Avebury and Stonehenge. Our guide, Bill, was very personable and knowledgeable and the information provided throughout the drive and various stops added greatly to the experience. They advertised this as a small group and that’s exactly what we had—13 participants with our guide on a small bus.
If someone is visiting this part of England they definitely need to see Stonehenge, and this tour is a convenient way to do that, and is also nice by including the Avebury stone circle and a couple pretty Cotswold towns. That's a lot to include in one day (including quite a bit of driving), but it flowed very well, and there was ample time at Stonehenge itself. Our guide gave a very good presentation, though (being very history-oriented myself) I would have liked a little more detail about the history of Avebury and Stonehenge (but I realize that a lot is unknown about that history). I was glad that the company suggested we download the free audio tour for Stonehenge. Be sure to leave a full day for sightseeing in Bath, but if you have time to do a full-day excursion outside the city, this is a really good one.
Fantastic tour! Jason was cheerful and knowledgable and made the journey an absolute delight. He knows so much, not just about the town but about Great Britain, its history, its idioms ... The coach was comfortable and our family had an absolute blast. Thank you!
We booked with Mad Max and could not have been more pleased! Our tour guide, Bill, was outstanding and had a great sense of humor, and was so knowledgeable. He tied the tour in with British history. The coach/van was very comfortable. We would definitely recommend this tour and would book with Mad Max again, especially if it was with Bill!
Bill is fantastic! We had a wonderful time on the tour. Highly recommend Mad Max tours.
Bill, our guide was fabulous! He was extremely knowledgeable and brought the history and culture of the area to life for us. The tour is well organized.
Hi Susan, we're glad you enjoyed the day with Bill. He is great for bringing the history and stories of the places we visit to life. Thanks for joining us. Best, Maya
In Avebury, if you want to see the site and have something to eat, avoid The Red Lion. It's not anything against The Red Lion, but they have a small kitchen, and the flood of tours makes overwhelms them. Viator suggests you get food at the Café or pack a lunch. Trust me... it is a very good suggestion. Over all the tour was very good, and our guide, Andy, was interesting, helpful, patient, and fun.
Andy was amazing and so interesting. I did the stonehenge, avebury tour and i recommend it!!
Hi Marilie, glad you had a lovely day visiting Stonehenge with us. Thanks for the kind words about Andy. Best, Maya
Our guide Gerry was fantastic. He's native to the area and gave us a wealth of information regarding the area, culture and history. Who knew we'd find out the derivation of phrases such as being "piss poor" and "blind drunk". We certainly hope he recovers from England s loss in the world cup.
Hi Will, it sounds like Jerry kept everyone entertained and informed. We're glad you enjoyed the stories behind some of our more colourful British sayings. Best, Maya
Andy was a great guide. Wonderful stories and terrific information. The group size was just right. The van was comfortable. The trip was scenic. We were given plenty of time to see the sights. The Cotswolds villages were charming and picturesque, and of course Stonehedge was sensational.
