We had an absolutely fantastic day
We had an absolutely fantastic day, great thanks to Bruce and Altonio. Bruce has been an amazing tour guide, he kept us all entertained and informed of everything that we came across with on our way to each destination. Altonio, the driver, has been very helpful and made us feel safe all through the trip. If you want a worry free tour and plus amazing trivia and tid bits of history, book on Golden Tours.

It is actually true what so many…
It is actually true what so many complain about (and the company kerps denying): the buses have very bad sound and picture for the movie, which after 20 minutes froze up altogether. No screen was working on our ride back. Ppl leave trash on the buses. So that was not a good experience. But the studios themselves were great! Just make your own way there and skip this company. It is not worth it.

Windsor, Stone Henge, and Bath
We did the three stop tour at Windsor Castle, Stone Henge, and Bath. It was an incredible experience. Bruce was fun and engaging and very knowledgeable about all the sites, country side, cities, and towns we drive through. Bruce communicated effectively, made sure we had optimal time at the tourist sites, and put us ahead of all the other crowds. Kulvinder was a fantastic driver. Efficient and safe.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering sites to see in England, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible Bruce was. If you are on one of these tours and see a posh man named Bruce, get on his bus.

Fun tour
Was a bit disappointed that the only way we knew it was a Abba theme was the music no themed decorations. Not a great start as while we were queuing I thought I would check that the bus behind wasn't ours. I stood at the door and before I could even speak the driver shouted" go to the other bus"! I said I just wanted to ask a question and he kept shouting and pointing to the bus in front. The girl who was working on the bus came to me and I explained I just wanted to know if this was the Abba bus. They both said to queue were I was previously. He was so rude that I wish I had got his name. It turned out that after queuing it was that bus anyway 🤨.
Apart from that the tea was lovely the fun glasses and the London afternoon tea souvenir cup was a nice touch. The tour around London was good, sitting on the upper deck was good for the views and the staff were very polite and attentive. It was a nice vibe.

Great just one thing
The Expirience was great. The only thing that bothered us a little bit was the driving. It was a Bumpy ride with strong breaking and stuff. But all in all Great!

Bruce was fantastic!
My partner Kyle and I had an amazing experience with Golden Tours on the day trip from London to Bath, Stonehenge, and Windsor Castle.
Our guide, Bruce James, truly made the tour. He was kind, funny, and incredibly engaging throughout the entire day. One of the most impressive things was how he remembered everyone’s names—it made the experience feel much more personal.
Everything was well-organized and easy, and Bruce went above and beyond by making sure everyone knew exactly how to get back to their destinations at the end of the tour.
This was my first trip to the UK/Europe, and it was such an impactful experience. I would absolutely recommend this tour—especially if you get Bruce as your guide.

Bruce and Mario with golden tours were beyond what we expected. They made the tour wonderful! Super knowledgeable about everything and anything tour related or not. They timed our trip to Windsor Castle so that we were the first group in! Gave us the inside scope of what to see and how to get there the most efficient way to maximize our experience in the allotted time. Made our experience wonderful!

Loved our tour - Bruce and Armando were great!
Loved our tour to Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge! Bruce was an amazing guide and his experience and knowledge were super helpful for us to navigate through crowded entries and breeze through the day efficiently! We learnt a lot through his briefing without even needing audio guides at any place. The “dad jokes” were an added fun sprinkle. Highly recommend

Great tour sampling
Great tour for a small sampling of attractions. Stone Henge was a bucket list see, Windsor Castle was beautiful and Oxford was typical historical site/university. Pauly, our guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining. Armondo, our driver, got us there in one piece with a smooth ride. DON’T BE LATE, YOU WILL BE LEFT BEHIND!
