Southampton: Post-Cruise Tour to London via Salisbury, Stonehenge and Windsor

Our guide, Robb, is one of the best guides we've ever experienced. The tour was everything we hoped it would be. Highly recommended.

Picked us up promptly at Southampton port. MATT our driver was amazing. ROB our guide was so interesting. So much knowledge. He even made sure we each had pictures at Stonehenge. That is with us in them. He gave care to each an everyone. Delivered us to our hotels.

We ended our cruise in Southampton and I was looking for a tour that transferred us back to London. I booked this excursion and it was perfect. It worked out that there was only one other couple going with us, so the trip was by mini van. Our driver met us as we left the ship and loaded our bags into the van. We left Southampton and he told us a bit of history in Southampton. We drove about an hour to our first stop, Salisbury Cathedral. We got information about the history as we drove there. He drove us right up next to the wall around it and then walked us in. Showed us what we could do in the Cathedral or walking back to the main street. We had an hour and a half to explore on our own. It was perfect and we enjoyed it very much. We were able to explore the Cathedral and visit the Magna Carta display. Then a bit of shopping. We met him at the appointed time and we were off. We drove about 30 minutes to Stonehenge with a narrative of the area and history. Then again, he got our tickets (we had prepaid with for it) and told us what we could do and we had an hour and half to see it and visit the visitor center, shops and cafe. We had audio devices to use at this site. A perfect amount of time and enjoyed it. We met him at the van and we drove to the next stop. The final stop was Windsor Castle, a little over an hour drive. He walked us in and bought our tickets and gave us directions and we had two hours at this site. We walked the grounds and visited the Queens apartments (restoration work going on now). Then down to St George's Chapel. You could get and audio tour, if you want. We didn't think there would be time to listen and see it all. So we skipped it. Perfect for us. We met him at 4 pm and we drove to Heathrow airport to drop off the other couple. Then he drove us into London to our hotel. We were dropped off about 5:30 pm. A great day for us! We had seen all the sites before, but it had been more than 20 years, so it was great to spend the day doing this. Love that we could do at our our own pace and spend time as we wanted to!

A great tour, a must see, no guide just a recorder which was a pain due to the weather. Long walk for those who have a hard time w mobility, not enough time at sites.

We had verbally and in print that gratuities, food and drink provided, but they were not! The tour itself was OK! The leader talked to us on bus but left us alone on the tour.

Tour guide Valentina was extremly nice and helpful. Interesting sites and we really enjoyed the visits. The tour included drop off at our hotel therefore we had to change the bus at Windsor aswe splitted the group In the new Bus, the A/C was not functioning and the trip was hell on earth (35celsius inside). The grandmother of my kids nearly fainted (she has a slight heart condition) and everybody was sweating like hell during the 2 1/2 hour trip. The bus driver was apologetic, but he told us that he couldn't do anything because he was just the chauffeur. He reported the failure to the tour operator.....with no response or apology. We paid USD 835 for a group of 7, entrances not included. We recommend Valentina and the tour, but defiantely not International Friends because of the final leg of our trip

This excursion was well work doing. We were going to need to pay the same amount for a taxi or Uber from southhampton to London as we paid for the day trip to London. I had always wanted to see Stonehenge and it didnt disappoint. We then went to Windsor Castle and were surprised at how large the castle was. The guides who gave the history and detailed information were great. They were placed all around the castle and gave their time freely to visitors to the castle. It was fascinating to see inside some of the rooms in the castle.

This tour provided so much more than the ship's tour. Valentina was so enthusiastic and such a sweet girl. We loved all 3 sites and it was nice to be driven directly to the door of our hotel, which turned out to not be exactly where I thought it was. Great day!

The guide and driver were great, but the tour is overpriced for what it is based on a family of four. In retrospect, we should have hired a private car for the day from Southampton to London, gone direct to our hotel instead of stopping to drop off other passengers, and probably still saved money. With one or two people this probably makes sense, but families should at least look for other options.

The guide was great and the visits were very nice. The coach driver did not know his way around the airport hotels so it took way too long for the drop offs. Also he let passengers off on the street instead of at the hotel entrance which was very dangerous
