Visit one of the world's most famous and celebrated prehistoric sites. The 5000 year old Stonehenge. A prehistoric marvel, your tour guide will provide a detailed historic introduction to the site. Discuss archaeological findings, theories and the mystery of this magical stone circle.

As well as our time on the ground - we also provide a panoramic driving tour around some of Bath's very finest and most beautiful streets. Bath is the most beautiful small city in England. With history dating back to the Celts 3000 years ago, settled by the Romans 2000 years ago, and shaped into the architectural wonder it is today by the Georgians 250 years ago.
Admire Bath's beautiful 15th century Abbey, standing on the site of a medieval church that saw the coronation of the very first King of England. King Edgar - crowned in 973AD.
Admire Bath's stunning Pulteney Bridge. One of a handful of bridges around the world with working buildings on top of the bridge. This was a rejected design for the famous Ponte Vecchio in Florence, Italy

We had a wonderful time on our tour. Our tour guide and driver, Val, was extremely informative and knowledgeable during our tour. Val was also very accommodating to everyone and addressed everyone's concerns. We felt this tour was very worthwhile as we had plenty of places to visit and sufficient time to see everything we wanted. The group size was also comfortable and not crowded. All in all we would highly recommend this tour and wouldn't hesitate to book any other tourings provided by Val and her tour company.
Know that people can no longer go right up to the stones. One can clearly see them from a short distance, but a photo leaning against them is no longer possible b
Stonehenge: a prehistoric site as mysterious as it is well-preserved in the middle of fields. Regular shuttles provide the connection between the reception area and the site and protect it from hundreds of cars that thus remain a few kilometers away. Bath: a protected city, steeped in history and beautiful buildings (Roman Baths and the Abbey...) that promised a lovely time. Unfortunately, overtourism leaves the city dirty and crowded. But where is the world of Jane Austen, so rarely honored? Lacock and Avebury: Fortunately, these two picturesque and authentic villages, perfectly preserved, constitute an excellent calling card for Somerset. The residents of Lacock display local products of their own making along the streets at very friendly prices. A sweetness of life that one dreams of. Lucy, our guide: an excellent driver, very welcoming, undoubtedly full of good will and knowledge. However, there is a lack of quiet time.
My wife and I did the Stonehenge, Bath and Secret Place tour with Nolh during the London heat wave and it truly was a fantastic experience. Nolh went out of his way to make sure that the van was cool and comfortable, He also made total strangers feel comfortable by asking everyone to share a bit about themselves ... and his infectious wit and humor made the long drives of the day easy and enjoyable. He is definitely a gifted "people person." His knowledge of the sites and their history also was impressive. Stonehenge and Bath were both terrific and well-worth the visit. And the Secret Place was an unexpected, but really fun, experience. This tour was a highlight of our time in London and we highly recommend it.
The family and I came over from the US with a desire to see Stonehenge up close and were so glad we picked this tour group. The small fleet vibe gave the trip a personal touch that was right up our alley. Lucy was a legend and superbly knowledgeable of the Stones histories and MANY other subjects about Great Britain. We went down some hilariously entertaining rabbit holes and learned a ton. It's not a short drive so she paced herself well; quiet downtime with blocks of stories. She was clear in instructions and made sure we had what we needed. Her secret spot was truly a treat. The routes back even had some more surprises. 10/10. Would ride again. Thanks, Lucy! You're a gem and a half. Sincerely, Kris Kringle
The day was fun, easy, and well organized. Jon, our guide and driver, was fantastic. He shared a great combination of history and modern everyday trivia. We had the option of staying together as a group much of the time or going out on our own. The secret place was a nice end to the day and well worth it. The bus was comfortable and cool despite the warmer July temperatures.
Hi Daniel, Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review! Jon is fantastic at making sure everyone has a relaxed, fun, and informative day, and we're so glad you enjoyed both his stories and the freedom to explore. It's great to hear that the air-conditioned bus kept you comfortable in the July heat and that you loved the secret end-of-day stop! We hope to see you on another tour in the future! All the best, Lilly @ The English Bus
My friends and I booked the Small Group Stonehenge, Bath and a Secret Place tour with Lucy as our guide. Although some of us had already been to London, this was our first time to see Stonehenge. It was my first time in Europe. Lucy was not only funny and entertaining but her background made her an amazing tour guide with all the knowledge and facts she had to share. The size of the group was perfect and we had plenty of time to explore each stop along the way. Without giving anything away, I was completely blown away by the secret place which Lucy chose based on her observations of the tour group and what she thought we would enjoy. I highly recommend taking a tour with The English Bus and especially with Lucy. Thanks for such a fabulous day and intro to England!
This made our day — thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review! Lucy is absolutely brilliant and we're so thrilled she made your first taste of England such a special one. The way she tailors the secret stop to each group is something really unique — it takes genuine instinct and care, and it sounds like she got it just right for you! We're very lucky to have her as part of our small team here at The English Bus. We're also so pleased the group size felt just right and that you had plenty of time to explore at each stop — that's exactly what small group touring should feel like. Thanks again for choosing to travel with us, and for such a wonderful recommendation. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure with The English Bus one day — check our website for live availability and best prices. All the best for now, Jen
Our driver and guide on The English Bus was Cara. She was absolutely fantastic. We felt safe and comfortable. Cara was very friendly and knowledgeable. We purchased the Stonehenge, Bath, and a secret place tour. It was a fun 11.5 hour day that felt like much less time. Stonehenge was amazing. Bath is a beautiful city. The Roman Bath museum was very interesting. Just an fyi, enrty tickets to enter each of these 2 World Heritage UNESCO sites are separate from the tour price. But well worth it. Cara said she was originally from Bath and offered a walking tour. Along with many suggestions on what to see and where to eat while visiting. She allowed a good amount of time for individuals to explore on their own. She also took a scenic route to the secret 3rd destination. So we got to see even more than we thought would. I highly recommend The English Bus tours. Pick up and drop off points for the tour were very convenient. The pacing was not too rushed. We felt that we had enough time in each place that we visited. The tour is well thought out and timed for such a long day. It was truly enjoyable.

We're absolutely delighted to read this — thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed and thoughtful review!

My family and I did the Stonehenge, Bath and Secret Place tour with Nolh and it truly was a fantastic experience. We did three day tours (two with another company) during our trip and this was hands down our most favorite of the three. The van was comfortable, Nolh created a community by taking the time to get to learn a little bit about each person which made the day more enjoyable. He combined humor and wit to his commentary that was much appreciated. This was without a doubt one of our favorite activities of our trip.
Hi Ernie, We're absolutely delighted to read this — thank you so much for taking the time to write! It means a great deal to hear that out of all your day tours, ours was the favourite — and we're not at all surprised that Nolh had something to do with that! The way he takes the time to get to know each guest and bring the group together is something really special, and his humour and wit make for such a brilliant day on the road. We're very lucky to have him as part of our small team here at The English Bus. Thanks again for choosing to travel with us.
