Eine sehr umfassende und ausführliche Tour, durchaus gelungen
Apolania, api the Best - great Guide and told any information, what you should know. Unfortunately rainy day. But all good at his best!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re so pleased to hear that Apolonia made your tour enjoyable and informative, even on a rainy day. It’s wonderful that her knowledge and enthusiasm helped make the experience memorable despite the weather. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her — she’ll be delighted!

Great tour
Informative fun tour that packed 3 sites nicely into 1 day! We learned a lot and got to see a lot more than if we had to tried to do it on our own. Very entertaining and friendly tour guide Peter Rabbit with driver Key would recommend!

Not what was sold
The tour we booked was completely different to the one we got. First the itinerary was changed without notice. We were supposed to got to Salisbury , Bath, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle but when we got to the meeting point we were informed that we wouldn’t go to Bath and it was changed for Oxford (a city we didn’t even went today). The supervisor told us that it was a TripAdvisor problem and not his company one. Secondly, the tour was supposed to be in Spanish and not one word was spoken in Spanish during the tour. Even the guide told us she didn’t not spoke Spanish. Lunch was also included in the tour but we got another surprise and it wasn’t included. Lastly the guide was very uninterested with us since the begging. She told us that it wasn’t her problem and it was either loosing our money or not going on the tour. Our guide was Apolonia. Very disappointed with this tour and our expectations.
Response from the operator: We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your tour. However, it seems that your review was submitted under a tour that is not currently in operation, making it difficult for us to investigate fully. To assist you better, please contact us at customerservices@goldentours.com with your golden tours booking reference, and we will gladly look into this matter further. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How does Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch compare to similar tours in London?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in London, with an Outty Ranking of 45. At £175 it sits above the typical similar option (£34), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 11-hour length, all-ages access and non-refundable terms.
Is Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at £175, above the £34 typical for similar experiences in London.
How much does Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at £175 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Salisbury, Stonehenge and Bath with Elf Guide & Christmas Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
