★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 716 reviews · 8 hours 50 minutes (approx.) · from $177

Start at Victoria for a guided London overview by luxury coach, then visit St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, cruise the Thames, and ride the London Eye if selected. Guides such as Mark, Morton, Tish, and Zozo bring strong storytelling to the day. Expect a fast pace, plenty of walking, and an end time near 4:30pm.

“A very interesting tour of London. Our tour guide, Mark was very informative, thorough, and often worked in a little "yank" humor which I enjoyed. A couple of highlights: The London Eye and The Tower of London, particularly the Crown Jewels tour. My only complaint was the meeting place could have been better identified. I went to the wrong meeting place, and I missed the start of the tour. I caught up to the tour at Buckingham Palace.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 671 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $109

Spend about 10 hours visiting Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, and Oxford from central London.

“Our tour guide, Daisy, gave delightful and informative commentary throughout the trip. We especially enjoyed the history of the Cornwall pasty (which everyone should try at least once in their life) and the highlights of Oxford which we plan to return to as further exploration is definitely warranted.”

8.Full Day Cotswolds Tour & Shakespeare’s Stratford From London

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 204 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $104

Travel from Paddington in an air-conditioned 16-seat mini-coach to Stratford-upon-Avon and classic Cotswold villages including Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Snowshill, and Bibury. Guides such as Paul and Nathan provide local commentary, while free time lets you explore, eat, and take photos.

“Paul was a great guide and took us through the beautiful Cotswolds with great commentary. He lived in the Cotswolds so he really knows the area. It was nice being in a small minibus as we were able to traverse the country roads and visit some of the smaller beautiful villages. The seats are a bit cramped and larger folks might be uncomfortable unless they can get the front seats or the middle of the back row. We would love to return and visit the Cotswolds for an extended period. Burton on the Water was our favorite town. Definitely recommend this tour over any of the larger coaches!”

Hire a private car and driver for up to eight hours, with central London pickup, parking, vehicle tax, and up to 200 miles included. Plan your own route to Windsor, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Oxford, the Cotswolds, or London sights. Drivers such as Dushi, Kuha, Alex, and Lucy are praised for punctual, friendly service, but this is transport, not a guided tour.

“Our driver was prompt and professional. The car was clean and comfortable. We had arranged this ride just to get to Stonehenge, however the driver said we had time to visit Windsor and Salisbury. When we fot to Windsor, he dropped us in a central location, and gave us the time to be back at the pick-up point. He was right there to get us. Then at Salisbury Cathedral, he walked us to the catherdral, and then directed us to a cafe for a quick bite. These things were all above and beyond, if you ask me! We got to Stonhenge right on time for our sunset tour. He offered…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 23 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $136

Walk from Charing Cross through royal London, Westminster, the City, and the South Bank before finishing at the London Eye. You will see 25 major sights in about five hours, with commentary from guides such as Ollie, Baha, and Mariana. Expect photo stops, brisk walking, and limited time at each place rather than interior visits.

“Your tour may vary, but ours was high energy and came with a spectacular surprise, the King of England driving five feet away from us! Our guide, Ollie, was the first to spot the sirens and royal flag on the car, allowing us time to get our cameras ready. In addition to all the stops listed and a tasty lunch, we saw the King! We also enjoyed personal contact, picturesque photos and interesting insights thanks to Ollie who cared for our exceedingly small group. We’re tuckered out but thrilled with our whirlwind tour of London.”
