My daughter and I took the small bus tour to Stonehenge, Bath and the secret place. It was a long day tour but the small bus experience was great, especially with our tour guide/driver Lilly. She was friendly, funny, fun, knowledgeable about so many things, was clear on where bathroom and breaks would be, gave us suggestions on what to do and restaurants to eat at, where the best photo pos were, and we learned so much while having such a nice day. Stonehenge was amazing in person - you get time on your own to explore. Bath was lovely to explore on our own, and Lilly provided a short walking tour of the highlights and history of Bath. Plenty of time to go to the museum, shop, eat and explore. And the secret place was a perfect ending to the day. Along the way we passed other small villages, beautiful fields of yellow flowers, cows, sheep (lots of sheep!) and just beautiful vistas. When there was something new or different, Lilly managed to explain what we were seeing along the way. A lot of narrow, twisted roads but Lilly drove carefully and kept us safe. Easy pickup and drop off locations, and Lilly even made an effort to drop folks nearer to tube stations that were close to their hotels. Not sure we would have made it to Stonehenge or Bath without this tour, and we were so happy we had Lilly leading the way!

Johnny the tour guide made this must do trip fantastic. The village of Chilham was worth going in this tour itself. The Cliffs of Dover and its people beach were emotional and a must visit experience. The medieval city of Canterbury and its Cathedral was very interesting as was the spectacular Dover Castle.

A great trip was made excellent because of Johny. It was like our family had signed up for a "private class" in English History, Art, & Archeology, made memorable by Johny's wit, professionalism and wonderful personality. He shared his life experiences with us; he was the first person in the UK that we really got to know. He was witty and sweet and so knowledgeable.
I highly recommend Johny and The English Bus. An Unforgettable experience.
We had been on two other tours, but this was the BEST!

After much research and debate, we decided to book this tour. We were initially uncertain if we wanted to spend an entire day of the trip outside of the city. This day ended up the “favorite part” of the entire event-packed trip for 2 of my 3 teens. This is why we would do it again:
(1) SUPERIOR GUIDE -I read many peoples reviews that Stonehenge was underwhelming and disappointing. For me the physical structure was underwhelming but our guide had spent time studying archaeology and the way he presented the information was easily digestible and kept you very interested. It made the experience amazing. Also, having a guide at the locations was key. You could go out alone or stick with him but he knew which ways to go to avoid crowds and make the experience the best it could be.
(2) SCHEDULE - we were concerned about the travel time being painful after having been on a plane so long. It was a 12 hour day but didn’t feel like it at all. We met up at the London Eye at 8:45 which is easy to find, easy to get to. There were no other tour buses there. It was obvious where you were supposed to go. The ride was easy and our guide gave us a tour as we drove through the city with lots of ancient and contemporary history which appealed to all age groups. He was also very funny. During the boring 30-45 minutes on the Highway he played music and we napped. We learned so much about Stonehenge, bath, the countryside, architecture, soccer, Harry Potter, the royals, giraffes, etc etc. it never felt like the long day it was. At drop off, our guide made several stops tailored around where everyone was staying. It was definitely a perk of a small tour group.
(3) GROUP SIZE - this tour maxes out at 16. The guide gets to know each person individually and really caters his tour to the group. The bus is a very nice, air conditioned small bus able to go down some really narrow country roads. I think this made all of the difference in the trip. They asked us not to reveal the “secret place” on the Itinerary but it made us very happy and we would not have been able to go on a bigger bus tour. At both Stonehenge and bath, 90% of the tour groups were large motor coaches.
Overall I’m very glad we spent a day of our vacation with The English Bus and would do it again in a heartbeat!

I loved the tour. Although it was rainy I feel that it made the tour more magical. I would highly recommend doing this tour if you are in London and want to do something different. Be sure to bring good snacks because the time to spend in the activities will not be enough to grab lunch.

On our recent trip, we went on this tour with Tony, who handled the driving and most of the commentary, and Cara. Seamless process along the way, and really enjoyed Tony's stories. The smaller bus feel is great as they can squeeze into places along the coast that you wouldn't be able to in bigger buses.

We had the pleasure of taking this tour recently and had a wonderful experience. Tony (driver) and Lucy (commentary) were both great and we really enjoyed Lucy's stories of the sometimes random things we passed on the road! The process was simple, communication was clear, and the small bus feel was much more our speed over the "big" tour buses.

Not usually a fan of guided tours but Johnny is raising the bar tenfold. Hilarious and insightful, not a boring moment the whole way through. You will want to see the greatest to ever do it in action.

No need to. They stop at enough places that you can pick something up, or bring your own, either way, they are super flexible and easy.
Is there a restroom on the bus?

Hoi ,
Hoe lang duurt deze trip en waar zijn de stops?
Ik neem mijn vriend mee als verassing naar London voor 1 dag en wil zo veel mogelijk doen . Zou wel graag in de London eye willen. Wij zijn 9 uur in London en we komen aan bij Victoria embankment. Zal dit haalbaar zijn in combinatie met de trip?

Hi Manuel,
All our tours are in English. As they are small group tours communication is easier, but we don't do tours in Spanish I'm afraid.
Many thanks,

Hi Amy,
Chris from the office of The English Bus here. If you could contact us through our webpage (TripAdvisor won't allow me to include an email address here otherwise this response won't be posted) and tell us where you would like to go, how many of you there are, and when you would like to travel, then we can give you some options and prices.
We are very busy though so the sooner you can get in touch the better as there are already many dates in 2019 that we are booked up on.
Hopefully we get to meet you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,

Hello, I would appreciate the suggested tip amounts for the tour guides, bus drivers. Just want to make sure I have enough cash with me. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Chris from the office of The English Bus here. Thanks for your question. We are aware that the uncertainty over tipping in different countries can be awkward - and we really don't want any of our guests to feel awkward because of it!
In the UK tipping anyone in any role is absolutely not obligatory. At The English Bus we pay all our guides well and above the industry standard - as they are some of the best guides in the country and they do a fantastic job.
In this country we tip people like waiters and taxi drivers for great service. If you feel like the tour guide on your tour with us has provided great service, then they will always very much appreciate a tip - they work incredibly hard and their days on the road are over 13 hours long. Typically we would tip waiters, taxi drivers etc about 10-15% of the total price paid for good service, so perhaps you could use that as a guide. At the end of the day it is entirely up to you, tips are always very much appreciated, but please don't feel they are compulsory.
I hope that helps - any other questions please contact us directly.
All the best,
Chris

My children are young (4 and 3) Does this bus have car seats for my children?
ChrisatTheEnglishBus
لندن, UK
Hi Stephanie,
Chris from The English Bus here. Thanks for your question, always best to contact us directly as we don't get notified of questions here.
We carry booster seats for small children, if you just let us know after you book we'll make sure we have them ready for you. Please be aware our tours are very long days, and while we do take lots of families with young children on tours, not all 3/4 year olds will enjoy themselves!
I hope that helps, anything else please ask - you can use he contact form on our website to contact us directly.
Many thanks,
Chris

Hello Melissa,
This is Chris from The English Bus. Different tours have different departure points - if you are referring to our Stonehenge tours then they all start by the London Eye at 8.45am and then pick up in Victoria at 9.10am. There is much more information on the tour pages on our website - and also a dedicated page describing the departure points.
If you have any further questions please ask - if you contact us directly through our site then we get notified immediately, whereas TripAdvisor don't notify when questions are asked here. Hopefully we get to meet you on a tour!
Many thanks,
Chris
