Great trip, although I was a bit disappointed by Dover - too brief a stop - the logistics of the setting road, buildings in the way, curve of coastline make it hard to appreciate the views. I think someone who is interested in the military aspect of the cliffs would enjoy it the most. Leeds Castle was just gorgeous, with the garden in full bloom, and we enjoyed the aviary. Didn't have time for the maze, but that would have been fun. Could easily have stayed there much longer. The stop in Canterbury was just the right amount of time & the cathedral was amazing. The tour guide was good, but the bus was a bit cramped. Not impressed with the place they took us for lunch - I know it's hard to accomodate a large group, but the food was so-so.

Very good guide. I had heard that it wasn't really worth going to Stonehenge since you have to stay on the path far from the stones. This tour was perfect - the general public left, our bus group was there alone, and we got to go right up in the middle of the stones. I've wanted to see Stonehenge for 45 years - this is the only way to do it! Bath was really nice and I loved Laycock - felt like we were walking on the set of a period piece. We had a very good meal at the inn.

Wonderful guide with good commentary & very comfortable bus, as well as a great trip! This was the Ireland I'd always wanted to see! Fabulous scenery and plenty of photo ops along the route.

The bus we got on had a recorded commentary geared toward children, which was annoying. I would have changed to a different bus, but we were taking so long to get through traffic it didn't seem worth while. We just got off. I have done this type of tour in Paris & London & always enjoyed it before, so was disappointed.
