Millions love heading out with us
Astrid
All really fascinating. Unfortunately, absolutely no photos are allowed inside. Unfortunately, also too many people, so we unfortunately could not see the dollhouse, because you would have had to stand in line too long.

Karen
The tour was good and our bus driver was very friendly. However, the driver did not drop us off at the end of the day at the same place we began. This would have been ok, except no where on our tickets or online did it mention this at all. Disappointing considering we had a booking for dinner near the area we got picked up from, which meant we had to then pay to get transport back there.
Dixie
The thing I loved best was the helpfulness of the staff. I walk with a cane and they arranged for a "buggy" to take me up the hill. Even so, there was more walking involved than I tolerated well. And the elevator was not working so I had to climb those awful stairs from where the bus dropped us. It would have been beneficial to me to know in advance how much walking was required. I could have brought my walker instead of my cane and that would have been helpful. Just getting from the bus to the vastly was exhausting, then there was the walk through the castle and walking all the way back to the bus. According to my watch, I walked 2.5 miles, not including the buggy ride. If I had walked that additional way, you might have needed to take me out on a stretcher. Your written description really needs to include a statement regarding the distance necessary to walk.

The driver Arman drove very careful, the tour guide Oscar was very knowledgeable about the locations that we stopped at, both of them were very courteous to us. I am leaving London very satisfied with my time spent here. Thank you guys for giving me this opportunity to see some of London history.

The tour guide was very informative, interctive, fun loving and friendly and welcomed us with arms open all the time for any questions asked
And the driver was very safe in his driving
Really enjoyed the experience throughout the day
I would recommend people to choose golden tours for their trip to Windsor, Stonehenge and bath because it's worth getting a glimpse of all the places in 1 day trip
Steven
Ease of the service had no problems
Guide was friendly and personal we had a small group but he managed to talk to everyone
Lora
The beautiful cathedrals of Salisbury were eerily haunting: the Gothic architecture had me gasping and gawking from time to time
Geoge
The Stonehenge was eye opening, I never wanted to leave and the Salisbury had me gawking the entire way: this combo is great!
