    Extremely satisfied with our reasonably priced day tour of Stonehenge and Bath (mid week in July). It was a mid-size bus, so the group didn't feel huge. We had 2 hours to ourselves in Stonehenge, as well as 3 hours in Bath (with optional 30-45 min walk with our guide). Tour of the Roman baths is not included in the price. Our guide Helena was funny and full of facts on the road to and from these locations. Our driver John was quite zippy and a bit fast on the road, but he got us everywhere on time.

    Cover is included in the tour, so it's quite a good deal!

    Best day tour company in London out there by far! My travel guide Rosy travelled to 66 countries, worked in almost every major countries and has an incredible positive energy and passion that will keep your 10.5 hour tour entertaining and invigorating. Rosy is probably one of the most inspirational person I've ever met with such a big heart and filled with incredible amount of knowledge and humor. This is a brand new day tour company in London started by an expert day tour company headquartered in Ireland. They understand the market and have hand selected the best of the best drivers, tour guides and a brand brand new VIP first class tour bus. The tour also includes Stonehenge admission fee & personalized awesome walking tour by Rosy. If you are new to London and is torn to which day tour to choose from, with no doubt, go with this company. You will seriously feel like you've hit the jackpot with such incredible staff. It's London, so don't be late! You'll be getting the top of the class tour service and you don't want to miss out!

    A +! We scored with the Groupon in this tour! We got a groupon for 2 for a day trip to Stonehenge and Bath for £65. We met at Gloucester Station at 8am and returned back at 6:30pm. Our ticket also covered admission to Stonehenge. Our tour guide Jenny was great, she was a local from London who had tons of quick facts and tips about the area. She had a great energy and was very knowledgeable. Of course Stonehenge was amazing, and we were then onto Bath. We were given maps with points of interest if we wanted to explore on our own and she offer to give us a tour as well. We stayed in Bath for about 3 hours giving us time for Lunch, to see the Roman baths and other interesting a sites in the city. Bath was a great city to visit with loads of history! We did get a chance to sample the spring water from Bath, very metallic tasting but once in a lifetime type of thing!

    I was visiting London last week and decided to do a tour to visit the Stonehenge. I saw a deal for this company on Groupon and booked it. Overall the tour was great. We stopped in Bath for free time and a short walking tour, then went over to the Stonehenge for a few hours. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of London and see the countryside.

    Tip: I recommend showing up at a bus tour stop to purchase your pass (ticket). I bought a two-day…read morepass and got a third day for free. That deal currently doesn't exist on the Big Bus Tours site. I find it helpful doing a bus tour in a city that you are visiting for the first time. I've done such tours in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Shanghai, and London. Of course, it's also fun to take a tour when you've been in a city before. New York comes to mind. Anyway, I decided to get a ticket from Big Bus Tours when I was doing touristy things in Piccadilly Circus. I am normally a planner (I got a city pass to various tourist attractions), but for tours, I show up at the stop. There's a reason why I do it. You can often get a deal. I ended up getting a three-day pass, but I only paid for two days. It was nice to get an extra day for free. There were three different routes that this bus company offers. I did all three, which was great. You get a pair of headphones and you listen to the audio detailing what you are seeing. It's informative and fun. You can choose the language that you want. You hop on a double-decker bus that allows you to hop off to visit a touristy site (Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park, Big Ben, etc.) and hop back on when you're done. Naturally, if you want to stay for the full tour, it's cool, too. Top floor is best for taking photos, which I did. It was December when I was in London. I recommend wearing a hat, a warm coat, and gloves to keep warm. It can get a bit windy, but I was fine. It did rain on my last day, so I sat inside. Taking photos was fine, but you deal with the window in front of you and potential glare. It was comfortable and a great learning experience as a tourist. I recommend it if you have a chance while in London. (45)

Then when the driver did arrive he stopped briefly well before the spot and immediately took off. A group of us all had to run after him. In fact the sales guy told us to run. Wtf?!? When I complained to the driver, he yelled at me like it's my fault. 2nd stop, we waited again almost an hour for the red line. When I complained to him he also yelled at me. Horrible drivers. Horrible experience. By the way, we saw multiple buses coma and go from the other companies as we waited. Don't use Big Bus!!!! Ted, the 3rd driver was nice. Ted, I'd suggest switch companies.

    I have been in countless foreign cities contemplating booking tickets on a Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour…read moreand we finally did it here. This is my advice: know what you want out of it because the tickets aren't cheap. ($41) My husband and I had very limited time here in London and wanted to see as much of the city as possible. We're very comfortable taking public transportation but figured we'd see nothing on The Underground. The double decker buses were a great way to view the main sights of the city: Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Shard, Big Ben, Parliament - you get the idea. We took the Red Route, by the way. (There are three to choose from.) The views were pretty good from up top, and the commentary was interesting- while it was running...let's get to that. Here's the downside. Traffic is horrible in London. Don't know if that's an everyday thing. There were also a ton of traffic diversions. When this happens the commentary stops and your bus is just at a dead stop. Do not take this bus if you're trying to make it to a destination. I considered it a way to check out the city and people watch. We never "hopped off" and I wouldn't really recommend it. If you know where you're going, take the Tube and get to your destination much faster and more cheaply. While this tour was a good way to see a lot of London, it took hours and was a very slow and expensive way to do it. I'm not sure if I'll ever do a Hop On Hop Off experience again. Also, I love taking photos and it's harder to do from a bus. Mixed feelings...

On our…read moredouble-decker tour of London, Joe the tour guide was wonderful - funny, engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. That made the entire experience! I would also like to give a shout-out to Radu (the driver) - yes, he was an excellent driver, but he was also the perfect foil for Joe's boisterous and entertaining persona, and he really cared about the customers - he was polite, professional and very thoughtful, for example lingering a bit longer at a particular attraction to let a member of the tour get their pictures just right. I was very pleased with Goldent Tours as well - ease of booking, prices and plethora of choices. All in all - I would use them again and highly recommend them.

We read the reviews and understood we were going to need some patience. The problem with many reviews were the meeting instructions (via TripAdvisor) so we went to the Baker Street location a day early to scout it out. We could not find signage for Golden Tours. We did see a Harry Potter bus dropping off a group and assumed (wrongly) that the spot was also the meeting spot. Actually they do have a location (store front) near the Baker street stop. It is not on Baler Street. If you come out of the tube and turn away from the wax museum, you will find their store from down the next block. That is the meeting spot point for tours! Very important thing to know and find -- because you have to meet there to get your tickets beforehand. We missed our bus time despite arriving 45 minutes early. The staff was less than kind about this part of the trip and made no apologies for the lack of directions. They gave us headphones but there was no movie on our bus. We had set our expectations low for our son, due to the reviews so we didn't mind -- but there were some disappointed families near us. The bus was clean enough but no WiFi and the phone charges didn't work on most seats. The driver for this portion of our trip was great and very helpful given that he had to help us find someone on site to get our Entry tickets. Despite the set backs, we finally had tickets in hand and enjoyed the studio tour from here on out on our own. The trip back was easy enough but this bus driver was less friendly and at one point was screaming at another driver along a busy street in London. We actually found it comical and thought it added to the busy city feel, but I could see how many guests would find this very unsettling. All in all, it is OK if this is the way you can get entry tickets to something on your must see list, but if you have options - I'd try another company.

    I've used Big Bus tours before. Not in London, but other countries in Europe. It was a good time…read more Sadly, this tour in London was not a good time. There wasn't enough buses going. We waited at bus stops for what felt like 15 minutes. And saw 2-3 other buses from Toot and Top View come by during the time we were waiting. Maybe we should pick another bus company next time. The stops promised a historical landmark or palace etc. Some of the stops didn't even take you to the proposed destination. For example, I wanted to see Kensington Palace. We drove past the stop for Kensington palace, but didn't get to see it. Same with a couple other spots. You don't actually drive by it. You'd have to get off the bus and walk for days to get there. This can be troublesome in the rain. Speaking of the rain, let's talk about that. It rains a lot in London. So, you'd think that the Big Bus tours would have an overhead coverage for the entire top deck. Wouldn't that make sense? Only the first couple rows are covered. And the audio doesn't work on all of the seats at the top. Probably because the rain ruined the mechanics. The audio on the tour was terrible. It would announce a location after we already passed it. So, you wouldn't even know what to look for or when. Super annoying. You literally had to track along the route on the app, listen to the audio and try to figure out what to take photos of. Oh and then figure out which stops you need to get off and walk to. It's just too much. The bus is supposed to be relaxing and easy to see the sights. This wasn't it.

Today we decided to spend a leisurely day touring with Big Bus blue line. £90 for what was billed as a 3 and one half hour tour around London. We got on a Gloucester station stop and headed out. Along the way we stepped off to grab a couple of coffees at Starbucks as It was a chilly morning. That where the troubles started. After getting our coffees and going back to the pickup spot the bus agent at the stop advised that we just missed 3 buses but they had called up another bus for pickup. This was an "unscheduled bus" and would not be trackable. We got on and continued mostly on course but made a couple non blue line route changes and stops. This all added to time to the trip. Plus there was a driver change as well. All this made the 3.5 hour ride nearly 5 hours and the final insult the bus broke down 4 stops away from our final stop! We ended having to hail an Uber ride to get us to our destination in order to make dinner reservations. No More Big Bus for us. BIG FAIL!

I did so and they have refused to honor their promise. Why would you sell me something and lie to me and misinform us and make us walk miles in the rain for a service you promised would be "AMAZING!"? This company is full of LIES and only wants your money. This is a scam and the city should not license them. I have sent three emails to City Tours regarding the refund they promised me and there has been no response. I definitely would not recommend this company.

I wish I did this tour on my first day. David has been a tour guide for awhile and it shows. If you do the Stonehenge, Bath, Windsor tour I recommend requesting him if possible. Our first stop was great. Although time was tight because of the amount of driving we had to do, we were given a helpful time frame of how much time to spend at the stones themselves and the visitor center. I'd split my time 50/50 between the two because the visitor center has quite a bit to look at. I loved that my group was a fortunate mix of all very considerate people and we got to the landmark early and was able to avoid the crowds. My group was also small, just 15 people so it didn't seem too hectic to corral everyone. Next stop Bath was very nice and enough time to explore and eat a quick lunch. Windsor was a bit of a whirlwind as it's a huge castle ground but grab the audio tour and listen to the intro portions and that will be sufficient to get an idea of the history. We got back ahead of schedule and with plenty of time to look for a dinner spot. Overall a great way to explore the city. I will definitely revisit this tour company if possible.
