All-Encompassing Review - Overall, we had a really nice experience at it was a huge highlight of our trip. There are a bunch of details to know before you go, though: Meetup: meetup was not intuitive. You head to the station, and have to find gate 1 which has an “Evan Evan’s” employee next to it to check you in. Multiple buses are checking in at the same time so double check which line/gate they tell you to go to. Dropoff: a few blocks over from pickup Bus: if you’re over 6 foot or plus size, you’ve got no chance at being comfortable on the bus unless you get there early enough to claim the back row of seats or the seats next to the side exit in the middle of the bus. It has charging capability, but only for a standard USB plug. Nice big windows to see around during the drive. They fill those puppies up so if you’re one of the last people on you may not get to sit next to your party. While on the bus, the guide will narrate through the drive with history and fun facts. If there are multilingual passengers, he used the little handheld radios he gave us to change to a different channel for different languages. They are super simple and intuitive to use, and came with their own earphone. It had a bathroom which was not something I’ve seen on other buses so that was a plus. Guide: Godfrey helped us make the most of the jam-packed itinerary but telling us what to skip and what to see at each attraction, which was super helpful because the stops go by very fast. He was extremely clear about each departure time and kept the tour on time. This tour WILL leave you behind if you ignore the times and come a few minutes late at an attraction. Kids: This is not a thing I’d bring a kid to, it’s a lot of “sit still and listen” in a cramped environment, and the bus driver didn’t allow hot food so you basically have muffins and granola bars to keep from getting hangry. If your kid isn’t going to be entertained by hours of history facts or needs to keep moving to be regulated, this is not the tour for you. Driver: what I can say is that we were ON TIME. In fact, we got back to the city way earlier than planned. However, at each stop the driver would stand next to the door to smoke until we all got on the bus. Not a problem at all until the last stop, where it was painfully obvious to us that he chose to smoke inside to avoid the rain that had started. The front of that bus REEKED and the back wasn’t pleasant either. Another passenger brought it up to Godfrey and he tried to say that he was sure there was no smoking on the bus, but good lord the thing was like hotboxed when we got back in. If you’re going to be addicted to nicotine on the job, just vape so it doesn’t become everyone else’s problem. STOPS: Windsor: this thing goes by FAST. You only have time to see the state apartments and the chapel if you book it to each one. Go through the apartments first, and you don’t have time to stop and read, just appreciate each room and move on. This was perfect for us because we get overwhelmed by museums when we take them slow, but the walking pace you need to set to see everything comfortably is pretty brisk. The chapel is so, so worth it just to see the Queen’s resting place. The whole place is so cool and a great stop, a must-do if this is a once in a lifetime type trip for you. You HAVE to give yourself a lot of time to get back to the bus though, it takes so much longer to walk down there than you think. Pay close attention to how you got up to the palace from parking, we almost got lost on our way back. This is definitely the most hectic part of the trip. You’ll wait outside in a queue before you go through security for the castle, which was pretty cold for us so just be prepared. Stonehenge: by far our favorite part. You have ample time here, we took the walk around it super slow. It was so cool. There is a shop with food here so take advantage of that. Bath: You have enough time to take this museum pretty slow if you’d like to. We chose to go fast through it to just the big moments, and then explore Bath a bit by heading to fudge stores and getting dinner (you won’t have time for a traditional sit down style dinner though, we got kebabs from the street). You don’t get to see the huge iconic building apartments, but you do get to see the church which is unreal. The bath center itself is pretty cool and the area has a bunch of fun shops. This stop felt well-paced. The ride back was mostly people sleeping. Accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible by any means, not big+tall friendly on the bus except for the back row of seats, and if you are not confident walking on uneven surfaces or without a guardrail, this trip will be really frustrating for you. My grandparents, who are fit and love to travel, would not be able to complete the excursions in the times given because of how many times we had to speed-walk to see what we wanted. Food: not hot drinks or food on the bus, which is the worst if you wanted a coffee before and when there’s really no time for any sit-down meals on the trip. Honestly, we just bought hot food and smuggled it in our bags and ate carefully. Can’t imagine having to live off of the dry ham sandwiches that are the staple of each rest stop. Bathroom: bathroom on the bus and bathrooms at each stop. Bring anti-nausea medication and lots of water! BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS: this trip is NOT worth it if you don’t pay for all of the excursions. The British countryside is not pretty enough to compensate for a 12 hour trip. Windsor is the fastest stop ever, Stonehenge and bath are well-paced but don’t expect to get time to do a bunch of things in bath.

Great tour, but not enough time at each site - All of the stops were memorable, both tour guide and driver were exceptional, but be prepared to have a long day, and you will be spending more time traveling than at the venue. First stop was Windsor, which doesn’t open until 9:45. We arrived at 9:15, waited in queue, passed through security…did not enter castle itself until 10:25. Had to be back on bus by 11:20 for departure, needed 10 minutes to walk to bus. Very rushed at each venue in order to make all three stops.

First time Londoner! - Loved Windor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath. The bus was comfortable and the tour guide pleasant enough.

Viator sucks but the tour was fabulous. - The tour was incredible! Loved the company EvanEvans that actually put it on but Viator gave me zero details about how to find the group or when I should actually show up! I was there on time but ended up missing the bus. Luckily they put me with another group but I highly recommend booking straight through the company. I am really unhappy with my experience with Viator.

I do not recommend it. It was the worst experience I've ever had. - worst experience: We started the trip at 7:30 a.m. at the Victoria Coach Station meeting point. Our first stop was Windsor Castle. The driver informed us that we needed to return to the meeting point by 11:25 a.m. However, my 9-year-old daughter had an accident that required us to go to the bathroom. We returned to the meeting point at 11:32 a.m., but unfortunately, the bus had already left. The bus did not wait for at least 15 minutes after the departure time. There was no consideration for the passengers. . It was a traumatic experience, especially for the kids.

Dissatisfied services - There were 3 places to see Windsor Castle, Stone hedge and Roman Bath. Honestly for Windsor caste and Stone hedge the guide whose name is Simon did not even give us 5 minutes to see. He was threatening that the bus will leave without us. I had my mother travelling so we had to rush all the time as there was queue. I was not happy with this at all. It was waste of money for me and I wish Viator refunds me the money for this.

Waste of money, and time. - The worst tour that we have ever had! One of the stops was the Windsor Palace. When we got there, they informed us that entry ticket is not included. And the tickets were sold out already! When I booked the tour they did not give me the option to book an entry ticket. What is the use of a tour to a palace after driving an hour, if you can’t go inside!!?

WOULD NOT RECOMMEND - While we thought the guide (I think her name was Rowen?) and the driver were FANTASTIC... I would never recommend this tour (or probably the company in general). Why?... first off - the price you see ($132 pp or so) is just the bus tour. Once you've paid all the entry fees to the three stops - it is near $500/ per couple. It's a waste of money and time... they describe it as a highlight tour... there is literally no time to spend at Windsor or Bath... you have to run through the site to make sure you're in time to catch the bus. (They remind you several times that they will leave you.) Stonehenge was the only location we had proper time at (and it is great). Also on this 12 hour tour - there is no planned meal break. My wife and I skipped the BATH tour, just to eat. You might say... well, maybe I should take a tour that is only 1 stop (or 2)... I have a feeling that they just reduce the time and you would, again, be running through the site. If your only goal is say "I've been there!" - then maybe this is the tour company for you... if not, there are other ways to see these sites and have them be more memorable.

Rushed to beat the buses and guide with poor attitude - The tour stops were amazing. The time was as expected limited but the tour guide nor the tour mentioned it would be less then 2 hours in each location. Our guide Omar was initially welcoming but as the day went on did not want to be bothered. Most of the trip he explained that we needed to hurry up and we had less then 2 hours already to beat all the other buses. It was a race to hurry to beat the other buses all day with an already limited schedule. Omar’s projected an attitude of not welcoming or happy with his job. It made the day longer and not as nice. The guide is the key to having a great day as we knew we were going to be rushed already but excited to see what we had in store. If I had any advice for Evan’s tours it is to ensure your guides are trained to smile be welcoming and have some joy to share with the visitors. We just came off tours in Ireland and Scotland and would say this was one of our worst for guides. Lastly Omar took the entire front row of seats so no passengers could sit up front after arriving early for the front seats. If this is an Evan’s Tours policy it should be advised prior to booking no front row seats will be allowed.
