Back on the coach, continue through the beautiful Wiltshire countryside to Bath for a panoramic tour of the UNESCO-listed city. See Bath Abbey, the River Avon, and the Georgian buildings of the Royal Crescent, and hear about the city’s legendary Roman Baths and connection with Jane Austen. Enjoy some free time to take photos or shop for souvenirs. Get your camera ready as you journey through one of England’s most scenic regions: the Cotswolds. As you pass through the rolling countryside and historic market towns, admire the pretty stone cottages, bridges, and walled lanes, all built with the region’s characteristic honey-colored stone. Finally, arrive in Stratford-upon-Avon, a town renowned as the birthplace of Shakespeare. Strolling the picturesque town, with its half-timbered houses and scenic riverfront, pay a visit to Shakespeare's Schoolroom. At the tour's end, return to the original departure point in central London.

To be clear, our review of the day itself is 4/5; however, our review of our tour guide (Zozo) and quality of the tour is 5/5!!!
Zozo was dynamic right from the beginning! He was very knowledgeable, but balanced when and what to share instead of overpowering. The chemistry he creates with his tours makes the day fabulous while knowing he is absolutely the one in control. Our family lost our camera along the way and he was very helpful in organizing another tour guide to pick it up and return it to London so we could pick it up the next morning! Thanks Zozo!
Note: we knew the tour day was going to be long, but the travel through the Cotswolds puts you quite late into Stratford cutting that experience too short (and therefore lacklustre). Still very grateful we checked off so many iconic sights in one day!

Our most handsome guide, Alan, was very informative and entertaining while being patient with visitors who might have been left behind-- being sure to get in touch with them and have another tour pick them up. Alan was so filled with humor and compelling facts that kept us interested on this long, full-day journey. I only wish we could do it again the next day!

The trip was pretty awesome, quite a long day, there’s so much to see. Our guide, Andrew was awesome, knowledgeable Scottish man with a sense of humor. Bath was very busy due to the Christmas markets, which made it impossible to get into the Roman bath without a reservation. Overall I recommend this tour which is helpful yo get a little taste of English culture. Shakespeare town I think was my favorite experience as it is actually interactive and not just something to look at.

We had a lovely trip with Peter,
we saw all the stops with plenty of time and Peter was very informative and really knew his stuff.
we got to Stonehenge quite early so it was pretty empty which was great. Continued to Bath, which is a nice area, but note that the Baths themselves are not included. The Cotswold was lovely but is only a drive by, you don’t stop there. Finally we got to Stratford which was the highlight of the trip! We really enjoyed the whole day.
Our day was very smooth sailing as people all came to the bus at the allocated hours (so highly recommend listening to the guide in this regard)
And there is no food included. There were places to stop and eat but we packed food and were glad we did.

The driver and guide were very good but I felt if we went to Bath , then the actua Bath would be included in the trip but we couldn’t get in as no tickets were able to be purchased either . Never stopped at Cotswolds . That was a big waste of time . Stone henge was good . Stratford upon Avon was nice at the school but didn’t go to see his house replica how it used to be as well as the theatre .

We were on Tour 6 to Stonehenge, Bath, Stratford-Upon-Avon tour on Aug 17 with St Nicholas and Carlo.
It was a fantastic tour I would recommend to everyone if you don’t have a lot of time, can’t drive, want to get a glimpse of the famous historical Stonehenge, beautiful Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon. This is the right place!
Although we spent a lot of time of the coach, our tour guide Nicholas with Carlo the driver have done a superb job in entertaining us with his humour. Nicholas was very knowledgeable, he gave us a lot of information about London, as well as the places we were going. He made the tour full of fun for everyone!
Instructions to assemble were clear.
Only downside is time too short to explore more of the city even start 7:45am with a finish of 8:30pm back in London. We would definitely come back for a long weekend in Bath as this is indeed a lovely and beautiful little town, reachable by train.
Pack your lunch or just grab a quick bite to maximise your time to spend in exploring the tour!
We will look for Nicolas again for our next tour in England! Thank you.

Nicholas provided an exceptional tour experience that exceeded all expectations. His knowledge and passion for the history of Stonehenge, Bath, and Stratford upon Avon were evident throughout the tour, making every stop incredibly informative and engaging. The itinerary was well-planned, allowing us to explore each location thoroughly while also having enough time to appreciate the highlights. Nicholas's professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly made this tour a 5-star experience. Highly recommended for anyone looking to delve into England's rich history and culture!

This was a wonderful tour to Stonehenge (very moving experience), Bath (delicious fudge shops)and Stratford-upon-Avon (Shakespeare’s elementary school). Our guide, Alan, was extremely knowledgeable, very personable and entertaining. The driver, Lorenzo, navigated busy traffic in the city and on the highways. Alan was happy to answer any questions about the sites and local customs. I traveled with my adult daughter who is also a fan of Shakespeare). I highly recommend this tour!!!

Is there time to grab lunch somewhere? Someone mentioned no food on the coach... Is that really true?
Written 7 April 2019
There is a posted "no food or drink" policy on the bus (I saw it in very small lettering on the gate sign) and passengers were instructed to step out of the cue and discard their coffees when boarding the coach at 7:45 am :(
However, once on the bus, our guide did clarify that the policy is no hot food or drink, and recommended we grab a sandwich in Bath to eat on the bus between Bath and Stratford-on-Avon in order to maximize the very limited time we had to see Bath (less than 1.5 hours) -- although honestly I couldn't tell if she was quoting company policy or taking pity on us and relaxing the rules.
Tip: Upon arrival in Bath, I ducked in to the Waitrose supermarket on High Street/Bridge Street, which has an impressive prepared food/takeaway section -- excellent selection, good quality, inexpensive (especially compared to cafes catering to the tourist crowd at midday), and they were not very busy considering it was a Saturday afternoon. I was able to pick up a sandwich for lunch and eat it quickly -- it was 2pm and I was hungry! -- and some food to eat later on for dinner, since the coach wouldn't return to London until about 8pm. There was no time to get a meal in Stratford-on-Avon, so I was glad that I had done that!

How much time would you have in Bath? Would there be enough time to see the Baths and Jane Austen's Museum?
Written 3 April 2019
I don’t remember exactly how much time we were in Bath, but certainly not enough for you to see the baths and a museum. I wouldn’t recommend the baths either. You should do a separate trip just to Bath.

About how much time at each location.
How much travel between each location.
I have preteen kids, any advice?
Written 16 June 2018
The tour itself leaves at 7:45 am and did not return until about 8pm. We spent between 1.5-2 hours driving from place to place. These buses had no bathrooms or WiFi so many people slept or read a book. There were a good amount of kids on the tour, but for younger kids this is a very long day. I would recommend for older kids like 12 and up. We parked at each location for about 1-1.5 hours.
