Reviews of England Family Tours
- London Explorer
This was my first tour, and I enjoyed every second of it. The itinerary was excellent, saw everything that I had hoped to see, and there was plenty of free time to explore on my own. It was wonderful to have the Oyster card [for bus and tube]. The hotel was very nice, newly renovated, and located right across from Hyde Park, wonderful for walks in the early morning or evening. Our tour director, Ellie, was extremely organized, and was excellent at providing background and history as we drove through the city, and at the venues. She was also very helpful in providing ideas for places to explore on our free time, and would help with any questions we had. If people needed directions for places they wanted to see on their own, she would print them out. The tour guides [specialists] at some of the venues were also excellent, as was our bus driver, Dave. I left feeling like I had really done more than I would have thought possible in 8 days! London is a lovely city, tourist-friendly, and rich in culture and history. I would love to go again!
- London Daytripper - 6 Days/5 Nights (including Canterbury)
I was impressed with the tour. We added a day on both ends of the trip to add some things that weren’t a part of the trip. The tour was great, and we loved our tour guide, Hamish. The meals were mediocre, but that’s not why we went to London. The day trips were awesome! I just wish we had more time to spend at a few of them. It was a great trip!
- 2-Day Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath & Oxford Small-Group Tour from London
Our two day tour to Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath, and Oxford was wonderful. Our guide Graeme made the trip. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I especially enjoyed the playlist of songs from the UK to add to our experience. My only suggestion would be to make sure you book tickets to sights you want to see in advance so you won't be disappointed. I would recommend Rabbies small group tours to people looking for a more personalized experience. Because we were in a van we were able to visit the charming village of Castle Combe. The bed and breakfast included in our tour was the Brooks Guest House in Bath. We had a lovely large room that was very comfortable. It included a full breakfast and had a honor bar available for drinks. We had a fabulous dinner at the Herd Steak House in Bath and a traditional pub lunch at the Turf Tavern in Oxford.
