Whoop Whoop. Cost a tad bit more than the other companies, but we'll with it. Andy was our tour guide and my gosh he had a funny line and story about everything. My high school teens couldn't stop talking about our tour last night after we finished. Amazing time.

Having come all the way from Australia for just one week on London, we had the best experience with The English Bus! Andy our guide was easy to listen to and had incredible knowledge to share. The bus was so comfortable and Andy drove us so well making sure we had access to all the best spots. We would recommend The English Bus company to anyone who wants the five star treatment and a brilliant day adventuring the English countryside.

We absolutely enjoyed our tour to Stonehenge, Bath, and the Cotswolds with the English Bus. Our guide Andy was entertaining and knowledgeable, and was able to provide quite a bit of commentary about London as we were exiting the city. A perfect day in the English countryside, made even better by a wonderful company and a great guide. We are already making plans to return, and the English Bus will definitely be part of our plans!

We loved our tour with the English Bus company! We did the Stonehenge, Bath and secret place tour. The pickup point at the London Eye was very easy to find. The bus was new, with USB outlets and A/C. It has big windows, making it easy to see the sights as you drive. Tony was our tour guide and he was lovely. Very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed listening to him as he drove around. We felt like we had plenty of time at each location and it was a wonderful day! We would love to come back and do the Cliffs of Dover tour with them. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a world class experience with Johny on 5/22/23. The pick-up point was super easy to find and Johny was right on time. He even validated my British accent. We had so much fun and I got to tick off several places on my bucket list (Stonehenge, Bath, and The Cotswolds). I can’t wait to do another tour with them when I return! Oi Oi. #AstonVilla

Best bus tour ever! My family and I did the Stonehenge, Bath and a Secret Place tour two weeks ago with Cara (not sure of the spelling) and Andy. First, we were unable to make it to our original pickup at the London Eye that morning of the tour, but it was very easy to make the change to the Victoria Station pickup. All I had to do was call the office on my way to the location and let them know. We were fortunate to get the brand new bus for that particular tour. The seats were comfortable and had all the technological features that you would expect. It was a very small group, the main reason we booked the trip, and it was a smooth drive to and from our destinations. One of the best parts of the tour was the information shared b Cara who was a very lively and well-informed tour guide. The rapport between her and Andy the bus driver was super! They kept us entertained throughout the entire trip with expected "down time" for us to absorb all the information that was passed on. All the places we visited were the best! Stonehenge was awe-inspiring, but my family particularly liked the city of Bath and we plan to return for a more extensive visit. I won't say much about the secret place except that it was well worth the trip. We had a wonderful time and I highly, highly recommend the English Bus Tour Company.

My wife and I took a vacation to London for our first time. We took a tour to the cliffs of Dover and Canterbury. Our tour guide, Johny, was absolutely amazing. He had so much knowledge to share, not just about the actual destinations, but for the entire trip. He truly cared about learning stuff about his country and sharing that in a highly entertaining manner. He even used his archeology background to give me a ton of information about Stonehenge for a trip we were taking the following day with another company (I really wish The English Bus offered an inner ring tour of Stonehenge, I would have much rather gone with them instead of the other company we had to use). I cannot recommend strongly enough to take a tour with The English Bus. Please, do them a favor when you do and book directly through them and not Tripadvisor. Hopefully, if I ever find myself back in London, The English Bus will have an inner ring tour of Stonehenge so I can take another tour with them. A couple of recommendations I have for The English Bus to improve this trip further: 1) Flip the times spent in each location. I would have much preferred to spend more time at Dover Castle and less time in Canterbury. 2) I would have loved if Johny could have gone in the castle with us and given us a guided tour. Given what he shared on the way up there I'm sure he would have had a lot to say inside the castle. 3) I don't know if this is normal, but I would have loved the ability to keep in touch with Johny. There was a lot more that I would have liked to ask him that we didn't have time for on the tour.

I had a wonderful time on The English Bus Tour. We took the Stonehedge, Bath and Secret Place Tour. The tour was small, intimate and full of fun and knowledge. Our tour guide Cara was funny and animated and made the trip special. Even our bus driver Andy chimed in with great quips and information. I would definitely use this company again and highly recommend it.

We very much enjoyed the Stonehenge and Bath tour. Having a small group makes the tour much more interactive and personal. Our guide Tony was excellent, making the drive to the sites quite interesting with information and anecdotes about the historical figures and places. Try the cider house in Bath! Really a nice day outing.
