“International Friends,\n\nWe just returned from an excursion with you to Salisbury Cathedral, Stonehenge, and West Minster Cathedral. The bus was great, places were great, but we would have\nenjoyed each destinations much better if we had heard the guide give us more details on each place. She gave us very little information on each destination. I believe she was a new student and possibly just starting out. More information would be so much better.”

“***was an excellent guide, pleasant and knowledgeable”

“We took the small group tour of Stonehenge, Avebury, and Salisbury and it was excellent. *** was a very skillful driver and genuinely nice guy. The tour guide, ***, was truly exceptional. He has an extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of history, and pretty much everything else for that matter! Plus he had a great sense of humor and a knack for compelling conversation. The tour was one of the highlights of a great week and I would recommend it to anyone; definitely worth the bit more it costs compared to the big bus tour.”

“Everything worked out like you said it would. For a first time visitor to Europe, this was so nice. Excellent staff. Very helpful and supportive.”

“Excellent service from Southampton Port to our hotel in London. Driver was great!! We were picked up right at the terminal, very efficient and personable service. Would definitely use again when in London!!”

“Guides are absolutely superb with no only extensive knowledge about the sites included in the tour, but also in depth understanding of history, culture, geology and real estate! This was our 12th trip to England and our 3rd experience with International Friends. Had I known of IF earlier I would have only and always booked with them. International Friends exceeds expectations in every respect and is far superior to better know, longer established tour companies.”

“Please ask the driver not to play the radio for his own entertainment. I was sitting behind him and I did not want to listen to it. The woman sitting behind me, asked him to lower the volume but he did not take the hint and turn it off. He lowered the volume, but I could still hear it.\n\nMore commentary about the areas travelled through to get to Downton would be appreciated.”

“Loved the small group. The pick-up was timely and *** was a great driver. Oz was our guide and his knowledge and love of history was matched only by his story-telling skills. So glad I opted for Int. Friends and the Stonehenge-Avebury tour.”

“The International Friends's service is very reliable, the tour guide is also very professional and detail. Recommendable.”

“We had no complaints about the tour and travel support. The attractions seen were very good and our guide, ***, went above and beyond to be helpful and informative. I would recommend International Friends to others without hesitation.”

Helpful Report

“Ous, the tour leader, was very good. He gave the right amount of information without over doing it. The only problem was a doofus who got lost and caused the rest of us to arrive in London much later than we had anticipated. I thought the driver, Sid, was very good too.”

Helpful Report

“Had a wonderful day. It started out not so well because we were told to be at Bus by 8:15 and we didn't leave until almost 10. There was a disconnect somewhere. *** was excellent as our tour guide. And our driver *** was very good as well. We realize with three stops there's limited time at each stop, it that's logistics. Was dropped off at hotel which we appreciated. Overall, it was excellent.”

“Great trip. A little much for old folks.\n”

“The driver was on site when we exited the terminal. He had our reservation on his iPad. We traveled with two other couples in a van with ample room for us and our luggage. The driver was courteous and knowledgeable about London, dropping us off directly in front of our B&B. How good can it get!”

“If your goal is to get from your cruise ship to your hotel, door-to-door (nearly), then this is a great service. If you intend to avail yourself of the tour aspect of the service then be prepared to RUN after your tour guide, no sluggards need apply.\n\nAt both Stonehenge and especially Windsor Castle, our guide sprinted between the bus and the attraction. He was out of sight even before the passengers had exited the bus. Sighting him was complicated by the fact that he would remove his International Friends jacket for a non descript blue shirt or swap on a backpack. His "sign" was a blue/black clipboard occasionally held high. If you did not follow, he muttered in particular British humor, "I know I'm missing someone, but I'm going anyway"\n\nHe was knowledgeable about the area, but the bus sound system made him difficult to understand. Otherwise the bus was cool and comfortable.\n\nTrue to the warning on the website, the bus departed only 10 minutes after the scheduled time, leaving 2 passengers at the cruise port.\n\nOverall, some pluses and minuses. Would still use them again after lacing up my trainers.”

“*** was our guide, and *** was our driver. Both were helpful and friendly. Our tour hit the highlights, as published. We enjoyed the experience in this smaller coach, as compared to a big bus. Well done!”
