About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Jennifer K0 contributionsGreat experienceGreat trip to visit Stonehenge and Bath and not have to worry about all the details. Definitely a long day, but the tour guide was great and made it an enjoyable dayWritten 14 October 2024
- 2kwaldo0 contributionsGuide was greatI wasn't sure what to expect, but the tour was very informative and well organized. Jerry did a great job. I didn't expect to be crammed into a huge bus packed with people, and would have liked a smaller group. It amazing that the island allows the huge tour buses on the island given the narrow roads. The driver did an awesome job navigating obstacles. You see a limited amount due to the driving required, but I recommend it.Written 26 August 2024
- wood0010 contributionsGreatGreat time best fun we had my god we really enjoyed our best time we had big group best time we will be back soon nice & clean ferry lot space good system for car park & coming outWritten 9 August 2024
- 921imanim0 contributionsAmazing tripAmazing trip for a good price! Definitely worth it, you have a really good amount of time in the park and the trip organiser was very friendly.Written 22 July 2024
- dilell000 contributionsParis Tour 2024It was amazing, I don't have words to describe how great it was! Our tour guide (Laura) is really nice and amazing in every point!! We had a really good time and went to the most beautiful places that I could imagine!Written 19 July 2024
- Mansi L0 contributionsBest guided tripIt was best guided trip with respect to service timing and knowledge of the guide he was so nice and explained everything about island from dinasour period to recent music festivalWritten 2 June 2024
- Helen B0 contributionsEnjoyable and relaxingEverything was on time and journey very relaxing. An Easter egg. Was a nice thought driver very good. Guide Andrew was very informative however one hour stop was not long enough at Godshill as no time to have lunch and see the village. Needless to say is fantastic for the views but very toristy and very expensive especially £9 for the chairWritten 1 April 2024
- Lollyrandom0 contributionsAwesome day out from Brighton!I am an American on transfer at the University of Sussex, so I am not in the UK for vacation with very limited time to explore. However, I was pleased to find this weekend day tour to Stonehenge which is on my bucket list. Being able to visit Bath too was truly a bonus as this turned out to also be a must-see! The excursion was well organized, the guide Laura recommended we download the audio guide app to enjoy the visit to these awesome rocks which is worth doing. It was a shame the weather turned for the worst as my sneakers got pretty wet but the shop was well stocked with souvenirs including Stonehenge socks which saved me for the walking tour of Bath! The tour of the city was fun, Laura had a great sense of humor, telling us about a former famous Hollywood resident and how the streets were named, I loved hearing about Mary Shelley and Dickens and seeing famous film locations. She also pointed out great places to buy local candy and cozy pubs to have a typical roast. I managed to make it into the Abbey where they had a huge globe suspended in the centre of the church which was pretty awesome to see. I recommend this tour with Laura, it was especially convenient for me with the limited time I have!Written 14 November 2023
- Gia_travels_here0 contributionsMust do!Excellent day worth doing! - Gerry is a very good tour guide with heaps of knowledge and we wish him all the best!Written 15 October 2023
- CuriousFun0 contributionsHassle-free, fun day-trip from Brighton.This day trip from Brighton was perfectly timed, informative, and fun. We had enough time in both Greenwich and Cambridge to see the highlights. Optional punting was a great way to finish up. Our guide, Gerry, was knowledgeable, helpful, and super-flexible. Great experience on a very nice bus that was much easier than navigating public transport.Written 9 October 2023
- daniellevV9021SW0 contributionsLondon - 1 dayI had an incredible experience in London! I visited many famous and beautiful places. I really recommend this tour and the guide Laura! She is an incredible and attentive professional, she did everything to make the trip perfect, she even helped me with several other tips! I highly recommend it!Written 8 October 2023
- DebiBlick0 contributionsFull day, but worth it!This was an Anderson Tour that left London at 7:15am, arrived back at 8:30pm, and went to the Isle of Wight. It was a long day, but worth it to see Osborne House of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Also saw and ate lunch at Shanklin Beach. Another stop was the adorable village, Godshill village. Do see the miniature village set up. It’s actually pretty cool, especially the plantings that are kept to scale for the village. This tour includes the ferry ride over to the island where we saw 2 cruise ships pulling away on our way back. It’s a long day, bit a good one. Our driver was Brendan and he kept us amused and well informed.Written 21 September 2023
- chanphenp20230 contributionsBeautiful places and amazing guideCambridge and Greenwich are very beautiful places. Our guide Laura was amazing. She explained us all about the history of the places that we have visited, it was very interesting. It means she has really good knowledge. She took very good care of everyone. I asked her about the other nice places in UK, she could immediately recommend me and gave me more information, that was very helpful. Thank you so much Laura. You are amazing!Written 30 August 2023
- 4rtb0 contributionsVery enjoyable dayExcellent tour of Isle of Wight by coach and ferry, stopping for lunch and and at the Needles cable car to the beach and boat ride out to the Needles , very knowledgeable guide on all aspects of the island. Thoroughly recommend.Written 25 August 2023
- LucasRosa900 contributionsGood but rushedPROS: Our guide Fabio was amazing, in addition to knowing very well both visited places he has excellent general knowledge about many other things, was a pleasure to talk to him. Also he was always there to answer everyone's question. CONS: Time in Bath is very short, I wish we could have at least 1 more hour there. If you go to Roman Bath, you don't have time to do anything else. Besides that, would be better if we arrived 1h before in Bath, because as many cafes closes at 5pm, it was hard to find a place to eat after visiting Roman Bath.Written 17 August 2023

Despite the bad weather, we had a wonderful day in Oxford & Windsor with Discovery Tours. It was a good balance between free time and touring. Our tour guide Laura had great tips for our free time and kindly helped us to book tickets for the “Ashmolean Museum”, which is well worth seeing.

I had possibly to visit three stunning places in one day - Windsor, Eton and Oxford!
Jerry is very experienced and attentive guide who really likes his job. I received a lot of pleasure from listening to him. He gives information in gripping and captivating way. The tour was not boring with him.
If you ask how the tour can be improved I would add the references for buying entry tickets at the Winsdor palace, Christ Church and the Oxford library at the description of the tour to have possibility to book the tickets in advance.

We enjoyed the trip so much last year that we returned this year. Both times we had Gerry the tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and made the trip really enjoyable. Windsor and Oxford are both worth visiting with their amazing history and architecture.

My friend and I last weekend went to Oxford, Windsor and Eton with Discovery Tours and it was an incredible experience.
Laura is a great guide because she highlights key and interesting facts about the places’ history. That is rare to find in a guide, because sometimes most of them just overfill the tourists with irrelevant information.
Also, Discovery Tours trips are very flexible because there is time for the guided tour and after that, plenty of free time for the tourists to explore the destinations independently.
The prices are also fair for the quality of the trip: the coach is comfortable and the guidance given in the destinations is amazing. For example, they give us maps of the cities to make sure we don’t get lost.
Furthermore, my trip had people from all over the world: Italy, India, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Brazil.
That makes the atmosphere even more interesting because it gives us the chance to meet new people and exchange cultures and perspectives on a destination from outside their country with a completely different culture from theirs.
I definitely recommend Discovery Tours for all!

If you ever want to visit Oxford, Windsor, Eton or any UK destination, I would definitely recommend using Discovery Tours. I was worried it would be a boring history lesson, but my expectations were surpassed. Everything was well thought out. From the choice of the day so we had excellent weather, to allocating time in each destination so we had enough time to explore on our own, every minute detail was well planned. The coach we rode in was really comfortable, and the driver was super friendly and helpful. Our tour guide (Laura) is a gem. She was very kind, and low-key delivered the rich history of these ancient cities in a really captivating manner from the start to finish. The experience of visiting the old towns was definitely enhanced by Laura who knew exactly where to take us, and what nugget of information to impart. Totally worth it, and I would definitely go on another discovery tours trip.
