Traveler reviews
Great way to spend the day!
We had Cristian as our driver, and Tom as our guide. Both were great, but Tom was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. We did the Windsor Castle, Baths, and Stonehenge with no lunch tour. Saw a lot but wished we had a bit more time at Windsor Castle and Bath. Otherwise, it was great!
Exceptional guide snd driver. Fantastic tour
We had an absolutely wonderful experience on this bus tour! Steve was an outstanding guide — friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and made the entire trip so enjoyable from start to finish. He shared so many interesting facts and kept everyone engaged the whole time. Our driver Haydar was also fantastic — professional, safe, and incredibly courteous throughout the tour. We always felt comfortable and well taken care of. The combination of a great guide and an excellent driver made this tour truly memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and well-organized experience!
Long day but well worth it
This is a great day trip tour from London. Gives you just enough of a taste at each site along the way. The lunch in Lacock is really a special touch. Steve was a very knowledgeable guide with great stories (and jokes) and Haydar was a great driver. Would highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, would recommend
Long day but totally worth it! Steve was a highly knowledgeable tour guide and Haydar was a great driver. Perfect amount of time at each stop for a sample of each location. Food at the pub in Lacock was very good. We took this tour 10 years ago on our homeymoon and there was an accident on the motor way which caused a significant delay for the stops. This time we really got to truly enjoy each stop and we would highly recommend.
Premium Tours Fails to show up as promised
We were promised that a representative of Premium Tours would meet us at 1pm by the clock in Windsor bus park for our return to London. No one showed and I texted Premium with no response. I then called at 1:30 and was informed the driver was at the bus park and he did not get the message to meet us at the clock. No partial refund was offered for the Premium Tours failure to perform as promised. I certainly will not trust them with any future business.
