It would have been nice to spend a little more time in Bath. That time was rather rushed, I didn't even get a chance to see a glimpse of the city, only the Roman baths. I think it would be worth coming back to London an hour or so later to spend more time in Bath.

Our tour guide was somewhat opinionated, but she was also funny. She was very knowledgeable and even provide travel tips. The tour exceeded my expectations.

The stops were great. Be ready to spend a lot of time in the coach, because the stops are far apart. The guide was excellent, as was our driver. They shared lots of good stories and historical information. I wish we could have spent less time at Stonehenge and more time in Stratford-Upon-Avon. We went on a Sunday and all of the shops closed at 5:00 p.m., about 45 minutes after we arrived. But we knew we would be tight on time in each place.

Excellent value, great tour guide and wonderful driver. Wished for a little more time in Bath but knew the schedule would be tight if we did everything on the tour. Definitely a great value if you have a limited time in England.

The sites and experiences were amazing and well worth the money, if not more!

It was a wonderful way to see all the things I wanted to see in a day, but there was not enough time. I really would have liked an extra hour to explore Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon. If time is limited for your trip, this is a great way to see a lot of England!

We loved the tour itself and the tour guide. I would recommend to friends. Bath was beautiful. However, we almost missed the tour entirely because for those of us who had to find our own way to Victoria Coach station and not get picked up by the bus at our hotel, there needs to be instructions from the metro, detailed. There are other tours between Victoria metro stop and the correct place to be that we went to and almost didn't make it. It would take very little to provide a map or simple instructions and I highly recommend it. I was very frustrated by the lack of direction and information.

Too much consideration was given to people who were late at the start of the tour. Had we known that we had to be ready 1 hour and 15 minutes in advance of the actual tour because we were going to have to worry about people who were late, we would have arranged to be at the terminal instead being picked up at the hotel.

This trip was a great way to see the English countryside and experience life outside of London. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the experience educational as well.

This was a great way to see a few sights outside of London. You need to go into it understanding that you will only get a short visit at each of the stops. The Cotswolds are beautiful, and our driver did an excellent job on the narrow, winding roads. My only complaint is that our guide talked way too much during the ride, when most people were trying to catch a short nap, and he spent a lot of time talking about other tours that the company gave. I know it's his job, but it was still annoying.

We learned we needed more time in each area to explore and see the sights. Next time we will find an overnight tour to just one or two places and take our time. Beautiful country and an excellent guide to give us history and other entertaining information.

A lot of stuff happening in one day so it felt a little rushed at times, but in retrospect I think it was pretty fairly split up. We did a walking tour around Stratford, which I thought was a lot more interesting than the driving around and pointing at things like you'd normally get.

I didn't get to take this tour because I was told that it was cancelled after I arrived at the bus station. I actually received a confirmation email from Viator at 11:30 the night before the tour that all was set. When I got to the station at 8 AM and the signs above my terminal didn't look quite right, I called Viator to learn that it had been cancelled and I had been booked on a different tour. I didn't want to go on the replacement tour. I was lucky that another tour was leaving from the same terminal as my replacement that was my original backup anyway, Lunch in The Cotswolds. The manager was fine with me going on that one instead because there was room. I had a lovely time on that tour. The guide was funny and interesting and great at English and Japanese. Most of our group was Japanese. The bus was terrific. The driver was top notch and very friendly and a pleasure to be around. The tour was organized perfectly and all of the stops were fun and well timed. We had the freedom to go off on our own if we wished, or we could be given the grand tour, and I really appreciated that. That all being said, I was very happy with the tour and would definitely recommend Viator tours from that perspective, but pretty unhappy with the cancellation at the very last minute and the lack of notification. I had a minor heart attack after getting up at 5 AM to get ready and get to London in time and learn that my tour had been cancelled.

Stonehenge was magnificent. Wished we had more time in Bath. Would have loved to have seen more.

The trip was very well organised. Stonehenge is interesting, but should be a very short stay, since there's only the specific site to see. Bath is amazing. Needs a day to explore. Our stay there was much too short. Cotswolds is an amazing region. Would have liked to stop in few spots and not only drive through it. Stratford is charming. The visit there was great. I guess I would indeed divide this trip in two the first two sites in one day, and the rest on another day. The guide, the driver and the coach were great. Cost should have included entrance to roman baths in bBth.
