Did the tour with James (guide) and Robert (driver).
Tour was 12.5h (all day). James was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining the entire time.
He had a high care for his guests, making sure they knew where to go, meet up, and point out various other activities or spots to get great food!
Robert the driver is also an amazing, very safe driver who really knows how to drive that huge coach.
They both made the all-day trip both safe and very enjoyable.
I would definitely highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Stonehenge, Windsor castle, have a lunch in a medieval town and see Bath all in one day and be entertained and learn a ton while doing so!
Worth it
