Wonderful guide, BUT ... delay leaving port caused arrival at Stonehenge w/about 30 other buses. 1.2 hour wait in line, no time for visitor center or food. Windsor was great, but completely rushed. Not worth it after first line, then 2nd security line. Chose St. George church over castle apartments. No time to explore Windsor. Had to be back to bus "to avoid London traffic", Then drop off was 2.5 hours. Could have been much better planned. Too much waiting, not worth the cost. Great people with good intentions. Would try again with Int'l Friends but not this tour.

Debbie was a terrific guide on the Downton Abbey filming locations tour. She really knows her stuff and is very engaging. I would definitely take it again!

An excellent tour to fill in your day before flying home that evening. Our guide was exceptional.

We were 4 ladies arriving at Southampton on Celebrity Cruise and planned to stay 3 days in London. We took the tour from the seaport to Bath, Windsor Castle and our hotel in London. The tour was beyond our expectations, the cost was very inexpensive considering we went to so many places. The guide was excellent and was with us all the time. We had plenty of time to see all the sites and we passed by Stonehenge and many beautiful towns on the way. We highly recommend International Friends for all your international travel..

Excellent, we used international friends twice from the airport to Southampton to our cruise ship. We had time so we booked it with a stop in Stonehenge. Also return after our cruise back to airport. Excellent way to get back after the cruise, our driver was waiting for us , no stress, very easy.

"Long lines and chaos but worth it in the end" would be a decent summary. The disembarkation process at the Southampton cruise port was a nightmare. Nobody knew where to go, took two hours standing around. Apparently every single bus was sent to Stonehenge at the same time because the line waiting for the official bus to ride up to Stonehenge was literally an hour long. When we left, there was no line. Maybe space that out a bit guys? That said, the sights themselves were breathtaking and our tour guide Steve was delightful. Our driver Neil was fantastic navigating the tiny streets of central London with the giant coach. The scheduling and planning of the hotel drop-offs could use some work, Neil and Steve had to figure it out on the fly where all of the drop-offs were and the best way to get between them. Overall, a lovely time, but the back-office planning could be better.

Actually took two transfer tours with International Friends. The first was a transfer to Southampton via Stonehenge. Pickup at our hotel was on time, and the trip was excellent. Our guide, Jennifer was great, very informative. We arrived at the docks on time to catch our cruise. The second was a transfer after the cruise to our Heathrow hotel via Bath UK, and Windsor Palace. Our driver David was excellent, and very informative as well. Both tours give you a chance to see the countryside of the UK instead of just highway. There is some highway, but not all the time on the either trip. If you like to see architecture, then I highly suggest seeing Bath. There are several cathedrals, along with multiple old buildings as well, and plenty of shopping, worth the visit!

Through your company I was able to take the tour of Stonehenge/Bath/Lacock. It was an amazing experience made especially so by our guide who was extremely interesting and knowledgeable. I appreciate that you contacted me for additional needs. One friend and myself needed extra consideration because we are handicapped. Thank you for all you did. I will definitely recommend your company to my friends.

We had a very enjoyable tour with International Friends. We were picked up promptly in Southamptom after our cruise for an all day tour to Bath and Windsor. Our guide Basil was excellent. Well spoken, very knowledgable about the hsitory of Bath and Windsor and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. This was a wonderful choice to leave the ship, go on a tour and then be delivered safely to our London hotel.

This company is wonderful! I forgot that I had booked online and paid for a ride from Southampton to London with this company. So when I booked the same ride a second time online, I received a phone call from the company telling me that it looks like I had made a mistake and they want to refund my second booking. Honest people! The ride was on time, the van was clean and comfortable, and the driver was courteous. I will definitely use this company again if I have the opportunity to do so.

Wonderful informative guide on our transfer to the QM2 with a stop at Stonehenge. Everything was on time and ran like clockwork. Really pleased.

This was a great transportation service from Southampton Cruise Port directly to our hotel in London. The driver met us as we came out of the terminal & directed us to wait until he brought the vehicle to load our luggage. He was very nice, professional, helpful with tips for London and got us to our destination. Very reliable service.

I took the "Downton Abbey Filming locations, Cotswolds and Highclere Castle - Small Group Tour" from London. Loved being with a small group, traveling in a van instead of a bus, and definitely enjoyed visiting all the filming locations. Our guide was attentive and knew a lot about the show, pointing out interesting things and regaling us with facts about the show its characters. I especially appreciated that we were given plenty of time to explore each of the locations we visited, which included enough time at Highclere Castle to complete the castle tour, explore the grounds/gardens, shop at the gift store, and eat lunch. The company was reliable, arriving on time at designated pick up points and returning us to London as scheduled. I would recommend this tour to friends/family.

2 comments: 1) safety box in room at Copthorne Tara hotel was basically at floor level instead of at eye level which made it difficult to use. 2) very unclear where to go at Victoria Coach Station for the Welcome to London day tour (International Friends not identified - it was another operator)

This tour was a much better option than a direct commute to London. The bus was comfortable and it was a outstanding trip. Time permitting, we highly recommend it.
