“Service was good, I would use again.”

“My wife and I enjoyed a lovely trip to the city of Bath and the Cotswolds. Made even better by the the impressive knowledge of the geography and history of not only the local area, but the whole of England by our driver and guide David. Well done !!”

“The driver was very punctual(even a little early) and got us to Southampton in good time to board our cruise ship.We would happily use your company again..”

“Southampton to Heathrow, via Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor. The positives: Their representative was at the ship on time (early actually) and did a good job of corralling guests, even late ones. There was a miscommunication between her and the bus driver, but she made a valiant effort trying to find him and it didn't really result in a problem for the guests. Our guide was Andrew. He did a very good job; pleasant, friendly and informative. We had one hour at Salisbury Cathedral. This was enough time to walk inside the church, (donation of L7 expected, but we didn't have to pay as the church was undergoing renovations), briefly see the Magna Carta, then hoof it to town to get a lunch to eat on the bus. Salisbury looked like a lovely town and it would have been nice to have even just 15 minutes more on this stop. Two people were late returning by 10 minutes and Andrews advised that that time would have to be deducted at one of the next stops. Stonehenge was next. I can't fault IF for this, but we were told this was to be the busiest day in the year for visitors. It was PACKED. Our time was 1 1/2 hours, which under normal circumstances probably would be enough. It took about 40 minutes just to get from the parking lot to the shuttle bus, 15 minutes to walk around the perimeter at Stonehenge, another 20 min wait to return via shuttle and 10 min at the visitor center. We were then off to the town of Windsor and Windsor Castle where we were given 2 hours. We opted to not go into the castle itself, but other guests said that even in the express line, they had to wait over 1/2 hour to get in and it was remarkably crowded. The wait in the non express line looked to be about 2 hours. We probably had the better time, walking through some of the charming streets, then finding a pub and having a cider. The drop offs at the airport and hotels were well-organized. So overall, probably a good tour with enough time in off-season. Time was too short given the amount of tourists at each of our three stops. I think adding an additional 15 min at each stop would have made it a bit better, but for what it's worth, we saw two towns we would like to return to and spend more time, AND it got us from the ship to Heathrow in a more interesting way then just a shuttle transfer.”

“The trip was wonderful. Little delay on picking us up at the hotel, but the company called the hotel to let us know. Only complaint is that we wished we had more time at Stonehenge. we had to wait for the shuttle 25-30 min each way and only had about 30 min to look around.”

“Andrew & Brian were great! We ended up being the only ones on the tour so we got a private tour which was great!”

“I enjoyed both parts of this tour! We went to the Harry Potter Warner Brothers studio and to Oxford. I would absolutely recommend this to my friends and family!”

“Good tour of bath, Stonehenge, and Windsor. Always like the small groups better than the bus. Liked how this tour went in the opposite direction of the big buses so were able to miss a good bit of the crowds.”

“We booked travel from our Mayfair London hotel to Southampton (cruise ship terminal) with a stop at Stonehenge along the way. The trip was perfect. On time transfer pick-up at our hotel, main bus travel with an expert guide and bus driver to Stonehenge and to Southampton, comfortable and easy all the way. Next time we do this-International friends for us without hesitation.”

“Jose was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining! He was our driver as well as tour guide on our trip to the Cotswolds and we were impressed with his ability to multitask and his genuine love of his job! He was very personable and asked all the guests a bit about ourselves so we were able to get to know each other!”

“We were picked up on time and with a friendly driver delivered directly to our ship. So good. Thanks we would recommend you.”

“This was one of the greatest highlights of our recent trip to England. Taking the special access tour was well worth it. The understanding of the history and items around Stonehenge was great, but then the ability to go into the stones and get an ever better understanding of them was incredible. We even were fortunate to get a rainbow while we are there. Pat and the others were great hosts. This was probably our favorite event from our England vacation.”

“We booked IF for a private tour of Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, and Avebury Circle. Our driver was right on time (early in fact, which was appreciated as we could head out sooner). Our driver was also very considerate, polite, and enjoyable to chat with during the drive - he also accommodated our requests for breaks, lunch stops, and other stops for photographs very well. Very nice service!”
