Great day in the county

Day trip to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge & Bath
Stefan, our guide, was knowledgeable, fun and attended to every detail. Adam, our driver, was a very competent driver, and courteous. Would highly recommend this tour. My only regret is that I wish we had more time to spend in Bath.
via Viator
Buyer beware, just another scam
The tour I booked was not the tour I got. The tour selection pages are different then what tour appears once paid for. There are many tour selection arrangement descriptions but only one tour selection shows up after payment. I selected a tour where Stonehenge was at the end of the day. It was not. It was to be a 12 hour day, it was not. This was with Backpacker Tours not International Friends which showed up in my email as who the tour was with after I paid. There was suppose to be time for lunch and a tour to the Roman baths. We had less than an hour in Bath. The tour was a couple of minutes talking about a tree in a small square. You should let people know Bath is a shopping excursion, only! I expected to see and hear about the Roman Baths, because that was in the description of the tour I purchased. Although the guide was very friendly, I felt cheated! The guide stated to me tours are never done with Stonehenge last. Well then, you should fix all the combinations of tours you have for both websites. I know winter tours are arranged different. This ruined my tour! Windsor Castle which I had to pay extra for was given to everyone. Do I believe everyone paid extra for it? NO! I saw many tours that were at NO extra charge for Windsor Castle. The descriptions of the "Small group tours" were written differently and arranged differently between the 2 websites. It's clear this is how they take advantage and make more money. Many different description pages and one payment page leads to our loss and their gain. I did not purchase a International Friends tour, but that was who the confirmation email was from. It was a loss to me after the guide changed our 2 hour Bath visit into less than an hour after he spent a few minutes talking. His apology was lost and so were his words after that. What a waste of my time, enjoyment and money. Please be aware of how these tours are set up. Take a screen shot of what you are purchasing before you do, because the likelihood of it changing afterwards is great. I was told by the guide, tour companies are not responsible for third party purchases. Buyer beware.
Response from the operator: We are very sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your experience and that the tour you expected to receive did not match your understanding of what you had booked. However, we would like to clarify that this review appears to be addressing issues with the way the tour was presented and sold through Viator/Backpacker Tours, rather than an issue with International Friends delivering a tour incorrectly. Your booking came to us, International Friends from Viator. We operated the tour as advertised on our tour page. We completely understand your frustration if the information you saw on Viator did not accurately reflect the itinerary you ultimately received. However, concerns regarding the descriptions, tour combinations, pricing, or booking process on Viator should be raised directly with Viator, as these are matters outside of International Friends' control. We are disappointed that the review negatively reflects on International Friends when, based on the concerns you have raised, the issue relates to the way the product was presented and sold by a third-party booking platform (Viator). We do not believe it is fair for our company to receive negative feedback for information or arrangements that we did not create or control, and would appreciate you removing this negative review our our company. We are pleased to hear that you found the guide friendly, and we are sorry that the overall experience did not meet your expectations. We would encourage you to take your concerns regarding the booking description and what was advertised versus what was purchased directly to Viator so that they can investigate and address this with you.

An overview of the three
This is a good overview of the three places. Stefan, our guide, gave an informative overview of the place we were visiting. Once at the place, we were on our own and given a return time to the bus. I liked this since we could decide what to visit. Windsor Castle provides an audio which is easy to manage. We opted to do the Bath tour which wasn't included since we had the Windsor tour included. We didn't prepurchase the entrance tickets but that wasn't a problem since the wait wasn't long. Depending on your interests, the first half is centered around artifacts while the second half is centered around the bath structures. This tour gave enough time to see the highlights of the three attractions. We had enough time at Stonehenge..Windsor and Bath are both places to we would return to to spend at least a day at.

Enjoyable excursion
We really enjoyed this excursion. Rita was an informative guide and Abdel was an excellent driver. We arrived at Stonehenge when it opened so lines were minimal. We had plenty of time to leisurely walk around. We should of downloaded the audio tour ahead of time. Next stop was Bath. Quaint town, but very crowded. Plenty of shopping and eateries. We finished the day at Windsor Castle. The beauty and history of the castle was amazing. The audio tour was informative and educational and the staff was friendly and answered all our questions.

Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London cost?
+
Prices start at £166 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 Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London 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 Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 514 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London 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 Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London?
+
Around 180 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 Small-Group Day Trip to Stonehenge, Bath and Windsor from London 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 The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. 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.
