Great experience! Thank you to our driver, Sagear (apologies for the misspelling). The tour was a great introduction, I definitely will make it back to explore more of the Cotswold. A few hours is simply not enough!

Wander around this UNESCO World Heritage Site and admire the unique rock formation standing before you. Situated on Salisbury Plain, 40 ton rocks have been standing here for over 5,000 years. An abundance of theories surround Stonehenge; from the belief it is a religious temple to an astronomical clock and even a Bronze Age burial ground.

Romaine and Oliver were great at getting us where we needed to be and at explaining the background and information relating to our stops
Great experience. Our guide, Oliver, was super fun. Would definitely recommend this tour.
The tour guide was a wonderful man with a great heart. He was genuinely enthusiastic about the tour and helped us understand so much about what we were seeing.
Great guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. Well worth the trip!
It is a great opportunity to see both Stonehenge and the Cotswolds in one day. Be prepared for long lines at Stonehenge as it was busy while we were there in July. The Cotswolds is a beautiful place with plenty of time to walk around and explore the cafes and shops. Overall it is a great tour and worth the price.
Sandra was a lovely and bubbly tour guide. Very helpful with directions and history! Vi drives us safely back and forth! Smooth driving!
It was a great experience. Long trip but it worth it .
Wei was a great guide and V a fantastic driver. They made sure that we had a great experience. However this tour is very expensive for what it is - You spend more time on the bus than anything else. A stop between Stonehenge and Bourton-on—the-water would be a great addition and improve this tour.
Very well organized day. Clear instructions and Wei was a knowledgeable guide with a sense of humor. It’s a lot to pack in a day. Could have spent more time in both locations but that would probably be in unrealistic tour length. Very prompt.
Enjoyed the trip. Good guide and Driver. We came back to London just before 7pm Operator was Golden tours
We went at a good pace at both locations. Lovely scenery and fun commentary by our guide. We may have missed some details or the tour co could provide more comprehensive deets on what to expect, ie; time between the sites, the fact that no bathrooms were available at pick up location or on the bus. The entrance to the stones is included in price but unless you purchase the shuttle ride you’re not going to get as close to the stones as those who did.
Our tour guide, Oliver and driver, Miriek were great. But, when booking the tour (especially the Stonehenge portion) be aware that the shuttle to the actual site is not included in the price. This came as a surprise to many on the tour. You can walk to the monument free of charge, but it takes about 1/2 hour and the overall time at Stonehenge is only about 2 hours. In our case, we felt forced into buying the shuttle passes because of time and aching legs. 4 persons was 121 pounds on top of our tour price. Aside from that surprise, it was a great outing.
We recently took the Stonehenge and Cotswolds tour with Golden Tours. While the Cotswolds portion was lovely, we personally felt that Stonehenge did not quite live up to the hype, especially considering the high cost of tadmission fees. However, the experience was completely redeemed by our wonderful crew. Our driver, Merrick, was excellent, and our guide, Oliver, was truly outstanding. Oliver is incredibly knowledgeable, entertaining, and multilingual, which added immense value to our day. He went above and beyond to be helpful throughout the trip. High praise to Merrick and Oliver for their professionalism and hospitality!
The tour was organized and very efficient. This was exactly what we expected and surpassed our expectations in every way. The driver Mireck (sp?) and guide Oliver did a lovely job. We would book again.
It was a cloudy cold day and the drive to Stonehenge was around 2 hrs on a Sunday morning. Oliver our guide and Mirek our driver made the trip interesting & comfortable. We returned back from Cotswolds around 4pm .
What an amazing day! This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Stefan was a wonderful guide who shared so much interesting information and made the experience fun and enjoyable for everyone. He's got really good humour. Lucian was an outstanding driver. We felt completely relaxed and taken care of throughout the journey. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Five stars service! Thanks again!
the time they gave us to see Stonehenge was very short. We did not have time to see the monument calmly.
