No Show! We booked our tour with Evan Evans directly in March. We showed up at the designated train station at 5AM. NO ONE EVER SHOWED UP to meet us. We asked other tour operators in the station and they had never heard of Evans Evans and they did not have a kiosk there. We kept calling the office, but they did not answer until 8:13AM. They told us they canceled our reservations. When we got upset with them, they said they had proof they notified us. We had already been scouring or emails looking for some sort of communication from them in the 3+ hours we waited in the train station, including our junk folder. When we challenged them on it, they got very short with us and hung up. read more

Our guide Simon was great and LeAnn our Driver was a true professional. Thanks for a great day at Windsor and Stonehenge

I have a soft spot in my heart for Viator because I've had such good luck with them for all my tours. From the swamps of New Orleans to Stonehenge in England. This particular tour was for a full-day trip from London to Salisbury to bath and back to London via a luxury coach. ' While we did have trouble getting to the pickup location - which had been moved because of the 2012 Olympics triathlon taking place throughout the city, we made it - by the skin of our teeth. Our first stop was Salisbury. Yes, it has a 750-year-old cathedral, but we opted to watch the triathlon and drink beers at a local pub. That turned out to be a very wise decision (and the closest we got to the Olympics considering the too-steep price of the tickets) Our next stop was Stonehenge via the Wessex landscape. I don't care what anyone says ("It's not as big or as awe inspiring as I thought"), we were awestruck and really enjoyed taking the headset tour. I am no closer to solving the mystery of the majestic stones but hope it was aliens...although that's the most far-fetched of the theories mentioned in the tour. Our final stop was Bath. Who knew a city with such a dull name could be so fantastic!! It reminded me of Florence Italy, with it's elegant Georgian architecture. I'm not very impressed with Abbeys in general (you see one abbey, you've seen them all - as far as I'm concerned) However; the Pulteney Bridge (was pretty cool. As was the man made waterfalls in the center of town. We skipped the Roman Bath tour but that's because I've seen them in both Greece and Israel (you've seen one roman bath, you've seen the all, haha) My favorite part of the tour was our tour guide. He was English, but reminded me of a tall leprechaun. He was knowledgeable and incredibly witty. He also enjoyed being asked questions, and I had a gazillion of them. Needless to say, he received a lot of tip money from our group in the end. I think this was my 6th or 7th Viator tour...and I don't see an end in sight. read more

The personal from this company is super friendly and informative. They are always finding ways to make the trips as attractive and comfortable as possible. Yesterday it was Monica, from Brazil and very funny young girl. Today it was Claudia and driving it was Paul. They made a great duo! read more

Our tour guide Reese was amazing! It's great to have have a native guide. He told great stories of the sites we drove by. He provided narration and helpful information throughout the day long tour. His personal stories also added special touch to our experience throughout the day! We would take another evan evans tour for sure. Hopefully with Reese as tour guide! Only complaint is we didn't have enough time at each stop. read more

Waited over 30 minutes for the bus. Employees kept saying 10 minutes. The waiting room is small and balmy 90 degrees. Clientele is a mixed bad of rude heathens and charming humans. Only God knows what is in store for us on this bus. Two ill-behaved, unsupervised children are sitting in front of us. #awesome Gets better--we have one extra passenger on the bus, which is causing added drama. Unless you're HP obsessed, fours hours is too long for the tour. The facility is nice/interesting. The comments are for the tour company only. read more

Really enjoyed the Bath and Stonehenge tour. Nicely paced and was able to spend just the right amount of time at each location. The coaches were ok. A little cramped, but decent. The highlight of our tour was our guide, Phil. Talk about a charismatic and extremely knowledgeable guide, with just the right touch of humor. When I do another Evan Evans tour, I will definitely be checking to see which one(s) Phil will be guiding. read more

My first time to England and I am so happy I booked this tour! Eugene and Raad took us on a tour of Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath. Eugene's vibes were 10/10! I've been on a number of guided international tours and this was by far one of the best! read more

All aboard the Stonehenge Express! With our time limited in London we did not want to do a day tour so we opted for the half day tour of Stonehenge with Evan Evans Tours. It was a good experience overall. We really liked our driver Paul, he had a good sense of humor and knew all of the shortcuts so we did not have to sit in traffic. I do recommend this company if you are looking for a tour outside of London. read more

Shout out to Robert (guide) - Robin (driver) team for an incredible tour experience. Robert is extremely knowledgeable about the overall history (we did Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford day tour). The team has an audio device that you can plug-in while the guide gives out information. The buses are comfortable with usb charging. They are particular about timings and thoroughly entertaining! A definite recommendation for everyone! read more

Fabulous tour our guide and driver is the main reason we recommend it everything from start to finish was fabulous Barrington the driver was very speedy. Our guide Robert was a absolute gem on the trip so knowledgeable so kind and so fun what a great experience I cannot recommend Robert enough he made the experience read more

I went on the London In A Day tour with Antony and the Warwick Castle, Stratford-Upon-Avon, and Oxford tour with Claudia and thought both were great! Besides both tours showing a lot of interesting places, Antony and Claudia were both exactly who you'd want to guide you; they were both full of information and able to make facts upon facts fun to listen to. They told history in such a way to get people listening, and knew exactly when to pull in a bit of pop-culture to keep them listening! I'd highly recommend both tours and (regardless of tour) both guides. I don't know how much I can go in depth about our driver, Joe, but want to thank him too for getting us everywhere safely and on time! read more

Manon and Wayne were amazing in taking my family and I around Stonehenge and Bath outside of London! They provided a punctual, entertaining, and informative tour not only at the two stop sites, but also along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in the megaliths of Stonehenge or the Roman Baths. Fantastic tour! read more

We went on the Stonehenge, Windsor & Bath tour and had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide "Leslie" was very informative and delighted well. The bus driver Baronton was also very accommodating. I highly recommend Evan Evans for your London tours. read more

I booked a tour to see the Warner Bro's Movie Studios (aka the Harry Potter tour) through Evan Evans. It was fairly easy to do so via Trip Advisor. They sent me a response asking me to call them to confirm my reservation prior to the start of the tour, preferably when I arrived in London. My hotel concierge assisted me with the call to the tour office, which allowed me to confirm the tour was still set to occur and that I was still planning on showing up. I also confirmed the meet up site with the person from the tour company. We were to meet at their office, which was fairly easy to find from Victoria Station. Note that not all of their tours meet at the same place! We waited in a large room with comfortable seating and restrooms. At the appointed hour we lined up, presented our tickets and boarded a tour bus. The tour would allow for 4 hours at the movie studio. Upon arrival, the driver parked and told us to wait while he procured our tickets. He then instructed us to return at a certain time, to the same spot were we were currently parked. He handed out the tickets and told us where we were to walk to begin the tour. When we were ready to depart, quite a few passengers were not yet on the bus so the driver made a couple of announcements at the studio to ensure those not yet on board knew we were about to depart. He also kept us informed of how long we were going to wait for those missing passengers. I appreciated that he kept us up to date what was going on. The ride to and from the studio was comfortable and smooth. Upon return the driver made two stops, one near Oxford Circus and the other at Victoria Station. We returned by the time that they had promised, even with the delay. The only down side is that 4 hours is way too long to visit the studio. Many of us were sitting around in the cafe for one hour waiting for the time when we could re-board our bus. I'm sure some HP fans really needed those 4 hours so the tour company was accommodating them. If you prefer the ease of a tour I would recommend Evan Evans. They offer many tours in and around London, many with a tour guide. read more

Peter was a lackluster tour guide with zero respect for his guests. The entire ordeal of being loaded onto the bus was such a nightmare and Peter made no attempts to right the situation in any way. When we arrived (not late, I might add!), the bus station was utterly chaotic with no one directing guests on which line to get in, as there were multiple tours for the same time going to the same three places, Windsor, Bath, and Stonehenge. After trying to get the help of an employee, we were told that we were still waiting for Peter. Unbeknownst to us, Peter must have already come and collected most of the other guests, because we and one other family were the only ones not yet on the bus. As the time for the bus departure came closer, we flagged down a different employee and told them that we were with Peter. She had us run to the bus which we narrowly avoided missing. Surely it is part of Peter's job to come to the station to make sure everyone is there, especially when he intends to load everyone on the bus early, while others (not just us) are lost in the chaos. When we finally were on the bus, it was full, with only a few scattered seats available, none of which were together. The drive to the first destination was only an hour and while it was unfortunate that we could not sit together, we made a plan to return early from the destination to make sure we would be able to sit together on the way to the next one. We returned before mostly everyone to the bus and sat together, and everyone else filtered in. Minutes after the time we had all been told we would be leaving, one last couple boards the bus and tells us we are in their seat. Wouldn't you think that the "you snooze, you lose" rule applies to each destination? Apparently not! Peter very rudely told us we have to stay in the same seats that we got in when we very first boarded the bus. So because of the chaos and disorder of the Evan Evans company, and the Victoria Coach Station, and Peter, as a tour guide, we were meant to spend 100+ dollars EACH on this tour, and told that we are not able to sit together with the person we came with. A sensible tour guide would have seen how upsetting this is, and asked for any single guests (which there were several) to sit together, so a couple would not have to be split up on the tour that they booked to take together! Keep in mind, the driving portion of these tours takes up the vast majority of the day. We were only afforded an hour to an hour and a half in each stop. So the majority of our day was spent split up, when it was meant to be spent together. I said to Peter, "this is ridiculous." He outright said, "no, it isn't" to me, in reply. But is it not ridiculous to treat adults as if they are fourth graders on a field trip with assigned seating? We accepted that on the first ride we were last on, and had to deal with it, but for the entire day to be spent split up because of the poor planning on the part of others is most definitely RIDICULOUS! In addition to the utter stupidity of splitting up paying customers, in turn making them miserable for the vast duration of the day, Peter was so lackluster and unenthused about the work he is doing it was clear as day. Peter has no joy for the work he is doing and treats it very much as a job, rather than a passion as we have experienced on the many other tours we have taken on our two week vacation. All of the other tour guides (NOT Evan Evans affiliated) have shown such interest and passion in the places they are showing, while Peter says a few words and then goes to sleep. Peter also does not accompany anyone on the tour itself, just brings us to the location and gives us vague directions on how to return, and goes back to the bus, probably to continue his nap! At the end of the day, we made the most of our experience during the short amount of time we were given at each stop, but needless to say we will never be booking through Evan Evans again, and encourage anyone that has read this review, that if you do, avoid Peter at all costs! read more

Great tour today to Leeds, WhiteCliffs Dover and Canterbury. Rowan our tour guide was a delight in every way, full of historical fact and lots of fun tales too ! Vater our drive avoided all traffic issues and returned us to London in plenty of time for cocktails before dinner . Re on end this relaxing trip to the countryside . read more

We took a tour from London to Windsor Castle and then to Stonehenge and our last stop was Bath. What an amazing tour. Our guide Chrissy was fabulous. She made the entire tour enjoyable and not boring. She spoke English and was fluent in Japanese. Chrissy is amazing with English history and shared with us everything. Our drive Mark was awesome. He was very patient with everyone and it was his last day. He retired and we wish him the best. Thank you Chrissy & Mark for making our tour memorable. read more

Due to unforseen circumstances, my husband and I arrived 5 minutes late for our pick up at Park Plaza Victoria hotel (instead of 20 minutes early as we had planned). When we arrived, we found that the coach had already left. A couple of hotel employees told us that they had asked the tour to wait just a little bit, but the tour did not wait. Apparently, the tour waits for no one. Not even if you paid $300+. I realize that everyone on the tour paid for their trip as well. I don't think I'm so special that the world should revolve around me and my schedule. But for a tour company, I would imagine that cases like these occur fairly frequently, and that there should be contingencies. Like an emergency after-hours phone number that can be called if you are late or lost. We tried calling the tour office several times this morning, but they are not open until 7am. And what's the point of giving the tour company all of your contact info (including cell phone #) if they're not going to try to contact you if you are missing? Also, what's with requiring the customer to call before the tour to reconfirm? Why is the onus on the customer (who is on vacation)? So now the company has our $300+, and we woke up before 4am and have nothing but a wide open schedule for the day. read more

Our tour with Simon to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Oxford was delightfully entertaining and informative. He made our tours go very smoothly and we were able to see so many attractions. He was one of the best guides I've ever had! If you are able to request him, definitely do! read more

Recently booked a full day experience with them to Windsor, Stonehenge & Bath. Travelling from America. They left early and did not refund my trip. Do not recommend. Book thru a different tour agency. You don't want to waste your trip dealing with the headache with them. read more

Great tour and pacing to get to each location. Our tour guide and driver were both amazing! Thank you Simon and Wadir!

Update to my review: Contacted Viator and Evans Evans (via their email and their contact link on their website) and only Viator responded. In truth, Evans Evans never gave us the choice of full refund of us paying the FULL cab ride even though it was THEIR erroneous miscommunication that caused their customers to be late and inconvenienced. Yes $75 cab ride paid on our OWN expense because of Evans Evans incompetency at communicating to us where they would pick us up. Evans Evans did not offer a pence in compensation for our troubles. However I would like to extend Viator my fullest gratitude despite their being billed for full by a corrupt Evans Evans company. Viator is the real MVP. Thank you for your patience while we have investigated your refund request regarding your Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Day Trip from London booking. Upon review of your request, Evan Evans Tours, have provided the following response: --------------------------------------- We take all feedback whether negative or positive very seriously. After further investigation we did go to the Crown Plaza Kings Cross to pick them up, but the passengers thought it was at 08.45am as they were going by the time on the voucher, but this time is for the departure time from Victoria Coach Station so this meant they missed the pick up which was at actually 07.45 am. By the time they called us it was too late for pick up and they came to Victoria Station in a taxi and met up with my colleague Kayon. However, all the coaches had already left for their tour destinations. The passenger advised that on their Viator voucher it says hotel pick up is at 0845 am; however, this departure time is for Victoria Coach Station. We offered the passengers several options from changing the date, a full refund or to catch up with the tour in Windsor. We did advise that this was at their own cost and that it will be costly if they chose to go there by taxi. The clients opted to go to Windsor to catch the up with the coach, we feel that we did as much as humanly possible to help the clients and as they chose to meet the coach in Windsor at their own cost we are unable to offer a refund on this occasion. --------------------------------------- As we are being billed in full for this booking, we are unable to provide a full refund or credit on this occasion. Viator would like to extend a refund of 50% for the disappointment and inconvenience caused. read more

Simon Salazar toured us for our first time in the UK. Great guide for both Harry Potter and history of the city! Funny, kind, and informative. I would recommend Simon personally to anyone wanting a tour in this city. read more

Did an amazing trip. Did the trio of Windsor, Stonehenge and the Roman baths. The tour was amazing and Sheila was fantastic. She kinda reminded me of Mary Poppins. My only grip was that there wasn't enough time at Windsor or Roman baths to walk around outside the attraction. I like to shop a bit , then sip on some wine and people watch before I'm shuffled back on the bus for the next stop. Tour was informative and worth the 12 hours of being essentially held hostage. But in a good way on this tour. read more

We took a tour with Andy today and he was phenomenal. We visited Cotswold, Downton Abbey village and Blenheim Castle. Andy shared a lot of knowledge along the way to each stop. We would definitely recommend Andy for a tour, he had years of knowledge. read more

Well worth the price. Colorful tour guide Simon and professional driver Winston made our tour of Windsor Castle, Bath, and Stonehenge a truly memorable day. It takes a couple hours to drive to each of these destinations and that was a treat for me to listen to the commentary or take a nap. Beats the hell out of white-knuckle driving on the wrong side of the congested, antiquated roadways. The schedule is fairly tight so keep moving and allow for time to queue up for snacks in the shops or a gift shop purchase. Wrote this review on the bus wifi on the drive back to our hotel. read more

Booked a tour through viator. Tour was amazing like an adventure. Almost missed Stonehenge due to a car accident. Driver Marc was very knowledgeable as well as your guide Kevin who made numerous calls to make it happen for all of us to see Stonehenge read more

We booked a tour to Westminister, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square through Evan Evans tours. It wasn't at all what I expected. I am struggling between giving them 3 and 4 stars. For starters it was a bit confusing where the meet up location was and we got lost. Thankfully they were behind schedule or waited because they knew it was a little difficult in regards to tourists finding their way. Second I learned you could not bring coffee on the bus which was a total disappointment because this had not been communicated and I had a full cup of coffee that went to waste. Even one of the ladies who worked there commented that there should be something on the site that indicates no coffee is allowed. The tour itself was good. It would've taken us double the time to make some sense of the entry point to the palace grounds and we did manage to catch the Changing of the Guard so that was nice! The tour guide was very considerate of keeping the group together and waiting on everyone. It was definitely a nice experience I just wish it was a little more organized. read more

I booked with Evan Evans Tours for a trip to Windsor, Oxford, and Stonehenge. I used isango to book the trip. It was roughly $60 per person. The bus was comfy. It had a restroom. It took almost the full 10 hours. We left at 8:45 am from Victoria Train Station. Got back around 6 pm. Our driver was friendly. 5 stars because we made it to Windsor on time to watch the Changing of the Guard!!! I never book tours but it is a must to see sites further away from London. read more

We booked the Peppa tour. The tickets promised a bathroom on the coach and entertainment for kids. There was no bathroom so our tour was late leaving as every child disembarked to pee. There was no entertainment either. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Did the Oxford/Windsor/Stonehenge tour. Simon was a top notch tour guide and I really enjoyed his cheeky humor and extensive knowledge of history and facts. Really made the experience so much better. Sam adeptly handled the traffic and maneuvered that coach away from traffic tangles. My daughter and I said that we wish we could take Simon home to narrate our lives...it would be so much more enjoyable. Great time, great company! read more
