We had an incredible time visiting Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, and Castle Combe. Every single stop was absolutely beautiful, but what truly made the day special was our fantastic guide, Alex. Alex was so kind, knowledgeable, and kept us thoroughly entertained throughout the entire journey. A special thank you to him for the James Blunt songs during the drive—it added such a great touch and made the trip even more memorable! Truly a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a perfect day out!
Alex was a great guide and gave us great recommendations for places to get food along the tour as well. He kept everything light hearted, but yet informative. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent driver and guide. She was very informative during our drive and offered great insight on the various locations.

Alan was knowledgeable and entertaining. There was ample time to see the sights at each stop.
Tom the tour guide was truly fantastic!
Stonehenge is an amazing prehistoric icon and well worth experiencing. We traveled through the Cotswold and stopped in several villages. Each one is prettier than the last. Our tour guide, Dan, is very knowledgeable and added stories to really make it interesting.
I really enjoyed my guided tour to Stonehenge and Cotswolds! Our Rabbie's guide was so knowledgiable and told us such interesting details about the places we were visiting....i.e. I didn' t know thar Sting's wonderful song Hills of Gold was inspired by Wiltshire barley fields! Cotswolds landscape was breath-taking...I felt like plunging into a dream-like world...so highly recommended experience! Thanks Rabbie's!
An absolutely fantastic experience with our guide and driver Tom who multitasked with ultimate professionalism all day between driving, regaling us with history, interesting stories and anecdotes, while DJ’ing to boot. Give the man a cigar!
