We did a day trip to Windsor Castle, stone henge, Lacock, and the Roman baths. Our tour guide was John, he was fabulous. It was super convenient to have the transportation set up. We ate at the Red Lion in Lacock, it was a 2-3/5 but the staff were great. There is food at each stop which is convenient since lunch is not until late afternoon. Don't expect much time at each stop. We only got 45 minutes at Windsor and by the time we got to Bath all of the shops were closed and we wouldn't have had time to go through the museum so we didn't get to see the baths. Other than that we really enjoyed ourselves, driver was great, tour guide was nice and humorous.

The Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Bath with Pub Lunch in Lacock with Premium Tours turned out to be a very interesting experience. We got to the starting point early despite a time change (thank goodness for cell phones that know everything). We had Ava as our tour guide and Carlos as our driver and there was never a dull moment. We got to Windsor Castle first and got in line with other tourists from other tour companies. We took lots of photos while we waited and even ventured off to see an old church that was nearby. Once we got the castle grounds were told how much time we had and allowed to roam freely on our own. The castle is beautiful and time flies when you are having a great time. We then went to Stonehenge and Ava gave lots of use and interesting info as we made our way there. Lunch was a bit late in Lacock, but it is a lovely town and my husband and I enjoyed touring it. After that, it was on to Bath where we also took in some phenomenal sites. This is a long day trip and by the time we got back to London it was pretty late. But it is definitely worth the time and energy we spent seeing so much beauty, including two world heritage sites.

Had an amazing tour with Nicholas and driver Miguel. Was a once in a lifetime experience at two UNESCO sites that could not be seen properly on a screen. Such an exceptional experience. Nick was so knowledgeable about the two sites bath and Stonehenge. Lots of good jokes and Nicholas and Miguel seemed to feed off of each others energy. We had a great time with lots of laughs and the best part was how timely and on schedule we were. The group was polite and respectful and TIMELY. I cannot stress that enough. Don't be that dude who derails the trip by making the group wait for you. Nick was so nice and even gave us 5 min after the allotted time to make it back for those stragglers . So if you get left, it was all on you. Be an adult and take ownership for it. Anywhoo five stars and Nick has Iived in London all his life so has a lot of good recommendations for sites, food, and fun facts! Highly recommend!

Peter from Enfield was our tour guide extraordinaire. He clearly loves what he does, which showed in his enthusiasm, knowledge, humor, and wit. He's a non-stop talking machine, but manages to do so without aggravating my tinnitus. I chose the Stonehenge tour, which included the special inner-circle access. I selected the afternoon departure (there is a morning option, but damn it leaves early. Blech!). The sequence was: the city of Bath for a tour of the Roman Bathhouse, then to Stonehenge, then to Lacock for a final meal. For me, the Roman Baths was the least interesting, though I know a lot of people will like this sort of museum visit. You get to walk through a well-organized museum with an optional audio guide. Some of it was interesting, but some of it was just boring 'museum stuff' I was much more fond of walking around the city itself, and trying out a pastie from a place recommended by Peter. It was absolutely delicious. You don't get a ton of time, but I felt it was just enough. The Stonehenge tour is certainly the highlight. Getting into the circle, up close and personal with the stones, is a must for Stonehenge, in my opinion. They will have their own dedicated guide here which is hit or miss according to Peter. I thought initially that the large group would not make for good photos, but you get about an hour and at some point, it's likely the space will clear enough for a people-less photo.. not to mention everyone is trying to get the same photos so people are normally good about vacating an area if you want a photo. They also divvy up the groups in consideration of this. By the end, it didn't feel crowded and it will only be with people from the group you started out with on the bus. The village of Lacock is the (in our case dinner) stop of the tour. The food is not terrible, but extremely average and very overpriced. Very clever that they won't list prices anywhere beforehand. There's no obligation to purchase food, but I expect their main source of income is the few tour groups that come through, so it is expected. If there's time, you'll get a quick tour of the village with Harry Potter locations included. Since it is a village with actual residents, it felt a bit intrusive to me, but I suppose HP fans gotta HP fan. Even the bus ride is entertaining, as Peter will point out an immense amount of sights along the way. How does he know so much? But he also gives everyone sleep time, so don't worry about hearing him blab non-stop. At the end of the tour, on the ride home, he even will come up to each tourist and chat with them for a while. He really adds such a nice personal touch. I have to give him perfect marks. Shoutout to Sean the driver as well, whose driving skills are unparalleled. Keep in mind if you choose the morning tour, the sequence of stops will be different. They also make a point to say that stuff happens, and there's always a possibility the tour will be imperfect due to unforeseen circumstances like traffic or weather. In our case, it was flawless, but they definitely run a tight ship. Don't be one of those... according to Peter he's left plenty of people behind, ha!

I was planning a day trip to Stonehenge from London and after doing research on tour groups, I decided to go with Premium Tours (over Golden Tours and Evan Evans Tours; all were comparable). This review is for the Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath trip, which ended up being one of the highlights of our London vacation. Our tour guide was Richard with bus driver Chris, and they were both great! The tour was well organized; Richard kept us on schedule and was informative about each point of interest. Since tour guides were not permitted to spew facts inside the venues (since it would be too chaotic with the dozens of tour groups there at the same time), each stop had its own audio guide included. Both Windsor Castle and Bath provided a digital audio guide with headsets, while Stonehenge had a QR code to download an app and listen on your own device. However, the DIY audio guide method does require you to pace yourself and make sure you get back to the bus on time. Premium Tours has the tour set up so that you arrive at Windsor Castle slightly before it opens. It requires some queuing, but this gets the day going quicker to allow for ample time at all of the sites. This efficient level of planning was one of the reasons that I decided to book with Premium Tours. Admittedly, some of the stops felt rushed (you will NOT get to read and study every object on display at any of the museums with this itinerary), but we were generally able to see what we wanted to see in the time allotted (and that's the trade-off of going with a tour group - you pay for the planning and transportation convenience but on someone else's schedule). They did provide us with a fair amount of time at each location. For example, when we arrived in Bath at 3:35pm, we were given exactly two hours, until 5:35pm to be back on the bus. One could've easily blamed traffic for the delay and given us until 5:30pm, but no complaints about giving us a full two hours. A lot of other people on the tour group were able to breeze through the stops with plenty of time for them to visit the attraction, snap some pics, and explore the cities, grab a bite to eat, shop, etc. A couple things to note: - while it's not their preference, if you're not at any of the meeting points by the designated time, you will get left. (This seemed standard across all tour group companies.) - the first meeting spot at Victoria Coach Station is a bus hub for many tour groups. Make sure you know the name of your tour company and the tour stops so that you get in the right line. For example, there was a Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath, Lacock, and pub lunch tour with Premium Tours (their most popular tour) which was boarding right next to our Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Bath tour group. The tours are similar but still different, and if you're not in the right line, your name won't be on their list (obviously), and you can't get on that bus. - this type of bus tour - three stops in one day - is not for everyone. If you want to take your time at any of the one stops, choose a different tour that allows you to fully explore each place. If you are someone who wants to listen to the entire duration of every clip for the audio tour, this tour style is not for you. - while we did opt to pay for all admissions when booking the tour, you are able to opt out of some entrance fees if you just want to explore the towns instead. A few people in our tour group decided to walk about Bath instead of pay for the Roman Baths entry. - the bus had a bathroom (recommended for emergencies only); no charging ports were available on the bus (but none were promised). Onboard WiFi was advertised but it didn't work for me. They requested no hot food/drinks to be consumed on the bus - they did enforce safety and requested everyone buckle up while riding - we were allowed to leave stuff on the bus at each stop. I took advantage of this and was able to travel light at each stop; the bus was locked and I felt safe leaving my things unattended - while there are places to grab a quick bite at each stop, it cuts into your visiting time at the attraction (and could be a tourist trap), so bring snacks or a bagged lunch if you want to save time/money - the drop-off location (Gloucester Road underground station) was different than the pick-up point (Victoria Coach Station) - this was clearly communicated when booking the tour, stated on the confirmation booking, and reiterated by the tour guide. At the end of the trip, our tour guide Richard went above and beyond and made sure everyone on the bus knew what route to take to get home (shout-out to Richard!) I would book with Premium Tours again.

I recently took a solo trip to London and decided to book the tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath, and the pub dinner in Lacock. It was an amazing and very packed day, I got to see so much. The tour guide Steve and driver Christian were both amazing and made the day so much fun! All of the stops were amazing, and the little visits made me want to go back and explore even more! I will definitely book another tour next time I go back! I also have to say I felt totally comfortable and safe going on this tour alone!

We did a tour of Bath with a sunset inner circle trip of Stonehenge. Excellent tour guide and experience! One of the highlights of our vacation.

Premium Tours was excellent. Two words: Nicholas and Ricardo . Nicholas (guide) and Ricardo (driver) made our trip a great experience when they took us to Stonehenge, Bath, Lacock, etc. Nicholas was super awesome in keeping my son engaged when we thought it would be the "boring" part for our first visit to London. Nicholas was very efficient in making sure we are all on time from the start (one of the first groups in, first out) to ensure we spend less time in lines and for us to enjoy the next parts of the trip...at the end gave us a bonus tour (keeping it a secret for u to find out when u book with them). Meal at Lacock was also delicious. One thing I regret is that we should have taken this tour at the very start instead of the end of our London vacation coz Nicholas had very heartfelt tips for a great London experience.
