“Overall the experience was very enjoyable. *** was right on point with communication and time tables. The group was housed at two separate B&B's which made it a little challenging to connect but not impossible. Even though totally aware that the itinerary may change from what is published and was fine, it certainly did not fall in line with what was expected after reading the on-line schedule. We expected the first day tour to be via motor coach and it ended up being a walking tour, which was not what we were expecting. The coach tour into the Highlands was wonderful and *** did a great job of driving and pointing out landmarks, etc. It would have been nice to have had at least one stop on the return trip in order to use restrooms. Thankfully *** had alerted our smaller group that we should take care of that prior to getting on the bus at Loch Ness! Overall, it was a wonderful weekend and I would recommend it to anyone as long as they understand there is more walking involved than was communicated on line.”

“Well run tour in a very comfortable small bus with a very manageable 16 people. *** was well informed about many topics, engaging in conversation and made sure we arrived and departed each stop in a timely manner. He would ensure that we had our tickets and audio guides and was very clear about where to go and when. Info given in an email before the tour was detailed and complete. All this added up to a very nice day tour with no stress and well worth the money.”

“Great experience! Wonderful guide.”

“*** was a phenomenal tour guide! Very knowledgeable and made you feel like you were a good friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him.\n\nThe only suggestion I have for the tour would be not to include Blenheim Palace. I would have rather spent more time in each village than spending time there. A drive by would have worked fine for us.”

“We had a group of 13 adults and kids, and booked a private tour to "within the stones" at Stonehenge and then to Windsor Castle. We had *** for our guide and I think the driver was ***? \n\nEverything was just great. The bus was at our hotel right on time and the bus was really nice and comfortable. Our driver got us everywhere safely.\n\nStonehenge was just fantastic. Being able to walk within the stones was amazing and all the details and stories that *** provided were great. Windsor Castle we toured on our own.\n\nI cannot think of a thing I would suggest to improve anything about this. When I sent out my original inquiry and all subsequent questions, every response was received very quickly, and everything was very easy to book. *** helped me book the exact day that my group wanted. I would recommend International Friends without reservation Thank you so much - this was my favorite day in the UK!”

“Your staff (*** and ***) were really good. I'm giving 3 stars because of the bus and the pick-up; these features made the tour just "acceptable" \nBus - seats are really uncomfortable. I was sitting over the back wheel and felt every bump. I have a bad back - so this was an issue.\nPick-up - in the future, you should indicate when booking on the first Sunday of daylight savings time. Everyone on the tour indicated they almost missed this, and would have appreciated an email from the company either reminding us, or confirming the time.”

“Our tour of Salisbury, Stonhenge, and Avebury was fantastic! Oz, our guide, is very knowledgeable and it was really great to have him show us around. We got to take routes that no large bus would ever be able to take through the beautiful countryside. I'm not normally one for guided tours, but I would absolutely tour with International Friends again, no question. \n\nAs much as we enjoyed the sights and information, the lovely drive alone was enough to make us desire to return to England again and again. The driver, a very pleasant Jamaican fellow, was a great part of the day as well.”

“Oz was amazing! Super knowledgable, personable, and interesting. I plan to book another tour with International Friends.”

“Very professionally organized tour. Extremely knowledgeable driver, on all kind of subjects, from history to geography to current situation, and tips for where to go for coffee/lunch/sight-seeing, and all delivered in an entertaining way. He also knew the area very well, which allowed him to take an alternative route when we ran into a road block.”

“Provide more commute time in between pickup stops when departing London - - we were behind schedule before we picked up the last customers”

“Had a great time. Our tour guide *** made the day. His mix of knowledge, humor and kindness was perfect. The sites were excellent, the mini-bus very comfortable, and despite the cold windy weather we had a really good day.”

“The tour guide is very friendly and professional. In my opinion the tour is a bit overpriced. I enjoyed the tour at all.”

“Our tour guide was very good (talkative, upbeat, kind) and I really enjoyed the trip overall. A few things I would change were: \n1. Accomodations at Baskerville Hall--there were 9 people in our room and it was just too much. Those of us who wanted to go to bed early were kept awake by the lights on and people coming back from drinking at the bar until midnight. I was awoken by someone in the middle of the night who said she was bothered by my snoring.\n2. Food on Sunday--there were not enough options at the pub, and it was too much time between breakfast (8am) and lunch (3pm). Perhaps there should be a stop on the way to the horse farm or during the trail ride for people to get a snack and use the loo.”

“I really enjoyed the trips to 'Stonehenge & Bath' and the 'Harry Potter studio tour and Oxford'. The Tour Guides made a brilliant job. I've already recommended the Tours to other language students :)”
