The perfect day in the Cotswolds
Did both tours. Great, comfortable and fun experience(s)! Brilliant guides with wit and lots of knowledge. The tours were brilliantly planned. Would highly recommend!!
Shout out to Sean and Jerry, and of coursw Maddy on the radio!
Thank you for joining us for both tours. It was great you could explore so much of the area- from the ancient stones to the historic and pretty towns and villages of the Cotswolds. Both Sean and Gerry will be thrilled you had such a great time and we all just love Maddy's audio guide on the bus to help you appreciate the fabulous places you are passing through and going to see. Have a wonderful visit.
I would highly recommend mad max tours - they are professional and timely. Our driver Bill was a good driver, friendly and very knowledgeable - we went to several sights starting at 830 and were at Stonehenge before anyone else. I would definitely use this tour company again.
Thank you for joining Mad Max Tours and Bill to explore the area. Great to know you appreciated the need for the early start and the benefit of arriving early to avoid the crowds at Stonehenge. We would love for you to join us again sometime. Thank you for the review.
My Husband and I took this Tour on Sept 16,2025. Our Driver/Guide was Richard.
The Van was easy to spot at the Meeting place, we left right on time and from there on it was a very enjoyable Experience. Richard has a wealth of Knowledge and Anekdotes and Stories to tell during the drive.
There was plenty enough time at every stop for pictures and looking around.
We really enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it.

Thank you Allan and Chris for joining Richard and Mad Max Tours. He will be delighted to know you had a wonderful day with him and appreciated all that a local driver guide can offer with their knowledge of the area. We would love to see any of your pictures from the day as it sounds like you made the most of the beautiful area. Happy Travels
Really enjoyed this small group van, day trip. We packed in a lot of sights in 1 day that's for sure. Being a guided tour it was great to get information about what you were actually seeing. This tour is very well organised and does give you some free time in the places you visit. It is also more relaxing than trying to drive to these locations in one day yourself. The tour guide organises the tickets for Stonehenge themselves so you don't have to line up. So you have the benefit of group entry also. The ticket to Stonehenge is not included so that is extra and you pay the tour guide on the day. We spent about 1 1/2 hrs here from memory. This tour will suit solo travelers as well as couples and small groups. It is best for travelers who are trying to see multiple sights in short amount of time.
Thank you for this lovely comprehensive review. It is always lovely to hear how much guests enjoyed their day exploring the historic and beautiful are close to The UNESCO World heritage City of Bath. Our local driver guides love sharing the extra information to the prerecorded details. You are so right understanding what you are seeing while navigating the narrow winding roads is a more relaxing way to explore as well as more informative. We like guest to have time to explore on their own as well as participate in guided information. So pleased you appreciated not having to wait at Stonehenge by entering as part of our group. We do hope that the rest of your stay in the area was as enjoyable, relaxing and informative.
This was one of the best organized group tours I have taken. Richard provided thoughtful, down-to-the-minute history lessons, advice for meals, and a broad explanation of the geography of the region. I was super impressed by the wonderful sites included on this tour, and I could not help myself from smiling all day. I highly recommend this package.
WOW! What a fabulous review! Thank you. Richard will be so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed spending the day with him exploring this fabulous area. All our local driver guides are incredibly knowledgeable and all carry out their own research to add little gems of extra information, as well as the prerecorded information from Maddy. Being part of a small group, in a smaller vehicle, does mean we can take our guests to lovely places that the bigger tours do not go. We hope you are able to join us again one day for further exploration.
All our Good Wishes
