Our story

Throwback to when it all began…Maddy and Max.

For nearly 35 years, Mad Max Tours has been sharing the magic of the English countryside with travelers from around the world. Based in the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath, we specialise in small-group day tours that take you off the beaten path and into the heart of England's most stunning landscapes and historical sites.

Our philosophy: Small groups, big adventures

We believe that the best way to experience the beauty of places like Stonehenge and the Cotswolds is in a small, intimate group. That's why our tours have a maximum of 16 guests. This allows for a more personal, relaxed, and engaging experience, where you can connect with your guide and fellow travelers. Forget the crowded tourist buses; our 16-seat minicoaches are small enough to navigate the charming back roads and ancient lanes that larger vehicles simply can't reach.

Our guides: your local experts

Our guides are the heart and soul of Mad Max Tours. They are all locals, with a deep love and encyclopedic knowledge of the area. But more than that, they are passionate storytellers with genuine enthusiasm for sharing the secrets and stories of our region. They'll make sure your day is not just informative, but also fun, memorable, and filled with laughter.

The Mad Max Tours story

Our story began in 1991, with our founder Maddy and her beloved dog, Max. The name "Mad Max Tours" is a tribute to them and the spirit of adventure they represent. For three decades, we've been dedicated to providing unforgettable travel experiences, earning recommendations from top travel guides and, most importantly, from our wonderful guests.
