Fantastic

For anyone short on time this is a nice trip. I do wish that we would have spent more time in Stratford as opposed to Bath.

This day trip covered a lot of ground - almost too much. A lot of time was spent on the bus. It was a 12-hour tour that allowed about an hour at each stop. Lunch cost about a lot and took about an hour. I would have rather spent that hour in Bath and had lunch on my own. This is a very good tour for travelers who have a limited amount of time to see everything.

The trip was great and so was our guide. My only suggestion would be to skip lunch at the restaurant and allow people to have lunch on their own in Bath, which would give people more time.

The tour was handled very professionally. The bus was clean, the driver was courteous, and the tour guide was nice, accommodating, and highly experienced.

A bit much to cover in one day but a very good tour.

This was a great day trip, definitely worth experiencing. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided many interesting facts. Would have loved to spend a little more time at Stratford and Stonehenge, and skip Bath altogether.

The places we visited were wonderful, and the tour guide was very informative, but it is way too much to see in one trip. We always felt rushed. We had 30 minutes at Stonehenge, which included walking time to and from the coach park. We had less than 2 hours at Bath. There is no drinking or eating on the bus, so we were starving at this point. Ate a quick bite, headed into the Roman baths, where we didn't even have time to listen to the entire audio tour. In Stratford upon Avon, we had another 1.5 hours. So a total of 4 hours in all the places and 6 hours of driving around in a coach. We were sitting in the back of the bus, the only 2 seats that were still available. we were sweating like pigs, and you needed to lean forward to see out of the windows. I would definitely recommend visiting these places, but not all in one day.

I felt the guide was little bit 'tainted' about his view of the British due to his Irish background, and some of his humour was not really clever, appropriate or necessary. He made a few sweeping statements about other cultures being less than intelligent, so he spoiled a beautiful experience for me. The places are wonderful, and the timing was excellent.

Way too rushed, got to Stratford too late to go through the visitor center. You advertised strawberries would be served, we were told the fruit is only offered in the summertime. And don't say the Cotswolds, we just drove through, it looked like any other area from the bus. Disappointed that you did not drop off at each hotel as advertised. Had to walk or take underground.

Great tour guide and bus driver! The lunch stop was not needed, as it wasted an hour or more. There were also a couple of unnecessary stops along the way for photos that could have been taken from bus. The tour should give more time at Bath to get lunch if wanted, or offer bag lunch option. We rushed the Roman Baths in forty five minutes with no time for anything else. Then rushed onto Stratford before it closed at 5:00 p.m., and most of the shops were already closed when we got there! This was a good tour for a brief look, but you may want to go back for longer visits.

We had a great tour guide. We had a late start, which cut the time on everything. I would have liked to have more time at each place. I would recommend a tour with one or two stops including Stonehenge, not three.

We did not have enough time at each site. We were too rushed to see things. We had no free time in Bath or Stratford. The lunch stop at an out of town pub was horrible and overpriced, even by UK standards. The trip would be much better if more time were allotted to Bath and if we could find our own lunch spot.

The trip packs in a lot into one day, so be prepared for very little time in each of the places. We were prepared for this, and the guide was excellent and made sure that we made the most of the little time that we had. What we did not expect was that those who opted out of the lunch organized by the tour in a remote pub had to go hungry and waste an hour as there was no other place to eat. It definitely felt very manipulative, as it was almost impossible to stop and eat at other stops, as time for sightseeing was very short. Bring your own sandwiches if you do not want to shell out 10 extra pounds for your lunch. We are a family of five, and had called up the previous day to ask how seats were allocated and were given wrong information on the phone that we would get seats of our choice if we got on at one of the early pick up hotels, however it turned out that we had to transfer to another bus at the Victoria Coach Station, at which time we were the last to get on and so could not sit anywhere close together. These were the two things that nearly ruined an otherwise well-organized trip.
