“My husband and I went on this tour on August 10th (Sunday) while visiting London. It would be impossible to truly "know" Oxford unless staying there for a bit... maybe a day or two! However, Nick gave us an amazing amount of information and made our time in Oxford "come alive." He was knowledgeable, humorous and helpful. I loved the fact he gave specifics of things we could do in our hour of free time in Oxford. My husband and I went into the Ashmoleon Museum (my husband had at least 30 minutes to look at the coinage section and LOVED it), which was very close to our pick-up point.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,943 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109

Choose entry to the castle and Shakespeare’s birthplace, then follow a guided Oxford walk past Christ Church, the Bodleian Library, and the Bridge of Sighs. Guides may include Phil, Robert, Andy, or Cameron.

“The day Trip was great. The tour host Andy J was self absorbed and continuously spoke about his various work places. The story just didn't add up with the description of the years he spent in different countries. To top it off he left a passenger in Oxford even though she was outside the bus. His behaviour was also a bit odd after our lunch stop at Stratford on Avon. He then slept most of the way back to London. He used all four front seats on the bus for his things. No one could have a front seat. Tour great. Host abysmal.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,656 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $123Top rated

Travel from Victoria Coach Station to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath on an 11-hour guided coach trip. You get a brisk look at royal rooms, prehistoric stones, Roman baths, and Georgian streets. Guides such as Phil, Simon, Deborah, and Kevin are praised for clear stories and humor, but the schedule leaves little spare time.

“Having read others’ review of this Windsor-Stonehenge-Bath tour, we have already had a low expectation. The real experience was even worse. The tour guide constantly rushes the group. When asked how much time one has at a given site, the answer was always —not enough time, and you must be back by whatever time. They treated the group of tourists like elementary students, making it sounded like you would be penalized if you were late. The other thing that they didn’t say in their ads is that they restrict bringing regular food (burgers, sandwiches, drinks except cold drinks) or anything that may potentially dirty the bus or make the bus…”

We were given 2h to check the village. Arriving time to London 17:30.”

“Great tour guide. Cheeky but stayed within the lines. Stopped at three stops. The lunch possibility is ok but no value. The problem is time. Lunch either with the group of by yourself takes real time out of the short visit. Additionally, a map of each town would do wonders for people afraid of missing the bus.”
