Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Pass By: No. 1 Royal Crescent, 1 Royal Crescent, Bath BA1 2LR England

The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 terraced houses laid out in a sweeping crescent in the city of Bath, England. Designed by the architect John Wood, the Younger and built between 1767 and 1774, it is among the greatest examples of Georgian architecture to be found in the United Kingdom and is a Grade I listed building. Although some changes have been made to the various interiors over the years, the Georgian stone façade remains much as it was when it was first built.

Pass By: Bath Abbey, Bath BA1 1LT England

Bath Abbey is an Anglican parish church and former Benedictine monastery in Bath, Somerset, England.[3] Founded in the 7th century, it was reorganised in the 10th century and rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries; major restoration work was carried out by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 1860s. It is one of the largest examples of Perpendicular Gothic architecture in the West Country. The cathedral was consolidated to Wells Cathedral in 1539 after the abbey was dissolved in the Dissolution of the Monasteries, but the name of the diocese has remained unchanged.

Pass By: Pulteney Bridge, Bath BA1 1EE England

One of the most photographed examples of Georgian architecture in the city and one of only four bridges in the world to have shops across its full span on both sides, Pulteney Bridge was designed in 1769 by Robert Adam.

Stop At: Salisbury Cathedral and Magna Carta, 6 The Close, Salisbury SP1 2EF England

Our tour begins at this beautiful 13th-century Cathedral, one of the country's most iconic medieval buildings. Built between 1220 and 1258 AD, its massive spire, the largest in the UK at 404ft, towers over the market town below it.

Today, visitors can see one of only four surviving copies of the original Magna Carta, as well as the oldest working mechanical clock in Europe built in 1386.

Partake in a spot of afternoon tea inside the Refectory tea room positioned directly outside the Cathedral. Peer through the glass roof at Britain's tallest spire as you enjoy your delicious cream tea and confectionery treats.

In doing so, it is almost impossible to avoid contemplating the level of skill it must have taken the medieval craftsmen who built it nearly 900 years ago.

Duration: 1 hour

Pass By: Evan Evans Tours, Road Victoria 258 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London SW1V 1BS England

Evan Evans Tours is the oldest and largest sightseeing company in London and has been accompanying visitors on city tours and out-of-town excursions since 1930.

Stop At: Stonehenge, Amesbury SP4 7DE England

We will spend time here exploring this ancient site and discovering answers to questions that have courted controversy and stirred opinion for hundreds of years. How were the mighty stones erected? Who built it, and why? What is its purpose?

These are all questions you will learn the answer to along the way using the exclusive interactive audio guide provided to you.

Inside the world-class visitor centre, discover the tools and everyday objects of Neolithic life, plus come face-to-face with a 5,500-year-old man and ancient human remains.

Delightful tour.However, in Bath, the short time allowed us only a short walk. Our guide (Sacha) and the driver (Kelvin) were professional and friendly, so everything went well.

Leaving from the Victoria coach station in the morning for a two hour ride to the village of Bath begins a jam packed day. Tour guide Rob -who is a engineer with special interest in architecture- narrated the history and pointed out the highlights of Bath with a stop downtown for a walkabout and a visit to the cathedral. Some local ice cream was delicious. Then it’s back on the bus in a trip to the Salisbury Cathedral. Here we had tea. The tea is served in a cafeteria style room that is next to the cathedral. After that was done a very informative tour of the cathedral. Of note is that each person got an individual headphone to wear so everyone could hear the narrative without problems. The last stop was at Stonehedge for a fascinating visit to this ancient monument. This was crowded. Then back to London. Tour guide Rob is excellent and enhanced this tour maximally. Driver Steve made the ride smooth. Highly recommend.

The tour guide was great. The tea at the Cathedral was sad. Not enough for everyone to get each type of sandwhich, not enough tea, water was not served until requested. The tickets to the Roman baths in Bath were not included. Luckily there was no line and we were able to purchase the tickets and visit the Roman baths. If there were to be a line, there would not be enough time to visit the baths, since you get only slightly over an hour to spend in Bath.

If you only have time for a single day trip out of London, this is a great way to cover a lot of ground and make your drive worth the while. I wish we had been able to spend a bit more time at each place, but we knew that by having three destinations we'd have a shortened time at each. Katia, our guide, was very nice and informative, and it was great to have her cover all of the bookings, tickets, and lunch (tea) reservations. We also thought the earpieces that allow you to listen to the guide without her having to shout are a BRILLIANT way to do a tour. No straining to hear what the guide says! If I had to do it again, I would bring a book since a good chunk of the drive back is on the freeway without much scenery. Overall, I'd highly recommend!

Absolutely Amazing!! The day is jammed packed with the three different stops, but you have enough time at each place to see the highlights and the guides really know what they're talking about and provide interesting and enjoyable insights. If you're a history buff I'd definitely recommend this tour as the Salisbury stop includes a visit to view an original copy of the Magna Carter. We loved Bath and will definitely we returning as we found ourselves wishing we had more time to explore the town.

The tour guide and driver were wonderful! So informative and friendly. The sites were incredible. The only negative for me was time constraint. Three stops were too much to really take in the sites in more then a superficial way. Traffic was heavy, which is an unpredictable variable. I would choose one or two stops if i had it to do over.
