An absolutely perfect day trip from Bath to the Cotswolds! The tour was full of history and great insights, making it both educational and enjoyable. Sean was fantastic—really nice, very knowledgeable, and always happy to share extra details and hidden gems. Highly recommended!
We would highly recommend this tour! Weather didn't cooperate, but a great day nonetheless. Our guide, Christian, made for a fun and informative day with his humour and interesting historical insights. Thanks Christian!!
Great tour! We hit so many great spots. I think all the highlights of the cotswalds. I think we had an appropriate amount of time at each place. Our tour guide Christian was amazing! So very knowledgeable and kind. I felt very safe in the trip.
Highly recommend this tour. Richard was so knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions as well as tell us interesting bits of history throughout the day. With it being a small group he gave us some different options on how to do the tour. It was a lovely tour with lots to see. I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends.
Kevin, our tour guide, was very friendly and made an effort to learn all of our names. He was a skilled courteous driver, dealing with parking and unexpected diversion challenges with calm and grace. He provided details of each village ahead of time and while we were there pointed out more such as the witch cross on church roof corners.
We always love feed back and great to hear you appreciated all that your local driver guide added to your tour. The Cotswolds is so pretty and we try our best to arrive at stops when they are not busy but crowds are not always avoidable. However, we always like to make sure there are some great hidden gems amongst the itinerary. Wishing you happy travels.
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
We booked this tour specifically to see StoneHenge and it also included Avebury Henge and the Cotswold villages.
We had Bill as the tour driver and host. The day started at 8.20am.
The tour was excellent and Bill was so friendly and very knowledgable. We had to pay extra for the Stonehenge entry but this was part of the terms and conditions.
I would recommend Mad Max 100%.
The very full Day finished at 5.30.
Many thanks for your high recommendation and leaving such a comprenhensive review of your tour with us. So lovely to read that you had such an excellent time with Bill and that you had a really great day exploring our corner of the world.
I loved my Mad Max bus tour of the Cotswolds and Stonehenge, it was like being in another place and time. Our driver used the right amount of humor to keep us all enthralled while we learned about the history and significance of the area. I would highly recommend this tour.
Many thanks for taking the time to let us know you had a wonderful time with your guide and that they made the history come alive and kept the whole day engaging. Sounds like you felt transported to another world!
It was a beautiful sunny perfect day to visit Stonehenge and the myriad ancient towns that we stopped at. Gorgeous scenery, prompt service, lots of ability to walk on your own and stop for a pint. Wouldn’t have changed a thing!
So lovely to read about your time at Stonehenge and the beautiful surrounding villages. I am picturing a crisp, sunny early autumn day. Also great to hear you got to enjoy one of the village pubs! A speciality around here. Many thanks for taking the time.
Jerry was a great guide. He really wanted the group to have a rich experience, took us to extra places and answered all our questions!
Lovely to hear that you enjoyed your day exploring the Cotswolds with Gerry. The area is filled with so many hidden gems and I am sure Gerry thoroughly enjoyed sharing them with you and answering your questions. Thank you for joining us.
If you are considering touring the Cotswolds- do it!! We loved our tour! 100% recommend going on the tour instead of just doing the trip on your own. Kevin was our guide and he provided so much valuable information and entertainment. He kept things interesting with his humor. We ate at the Hive for lunch at the Stowe-in-the-Wold stop and it was delicious, thr restaurant of course came recommended by Kevin.
The only thing I think could have made it a bit better was I wish we could have spent a bit more time in Castle Combe on the first stop, since it was just so gorgeous and there was a lot to see. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed every minute of it!
Thank you for taking the time to review your day with Kevin and Mad Max Tours, exploring the beautiful Cotswolds. We are lucky to have such a great team of local driver guides who just love sharing the area with them as well as their little additional gems of information sprinkled with their own personal sense of humour.
Joining a guided tour with us does add value to the beautiful places we visit, which you may miss if travelling independently. Thank you for your thoughts on the length of time spent at Castle Combe. It is always good to have feed back and then we can look at how we adjust things to improve everyones experience. We do hope that the rest of your vacation was as enjoyable as your day with Mad Max Tours and that you may join us again sometime.
My husband and I attended the Mad Max Cotswolds tour in September of 2025 with Gerry as our tour guide. We had a wonderful time, and appreciated the well thought out and orchestrated nature of the tour, which enabled us to maximize our time exploring the Cotswolds without feeling rushed or hurried along.
Gerry was a wealth of knowledge, and seemed to have a real personal love of the area and its history, which further enabled us to get to know the Cotswolds. We had a fantastic time and would recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the Cotswolds from Bath. Thank you Gerry!
Gerry will be thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed the day exploring the Cotswolds with him as part of a Mad Max Tours group. It is always great to hear that you really appreciated being with a local driver guide, so you might really maximize on all the information, history and beauty of this special part of the UK. We do hope that you may join us again one day for more exploring of the area. Many Thanks
We booked this tour to see Stonehenge, with any other site as a “nice but not required.” Turns out that Stonehenge was spectacular, but IMO Avebury was even better! The Lacock and Castle Coombe stops were another added bonus that I’m glad we were able to see.
Timing of stops was just right, and our guide Andy was knowledgeable and friendly.
Many thanks for letting us know how you found your tour- and I must say I agree, Avebury is my favourite stop too. Such a unique place, with an impressively large site and a relaxed atmosphere. Glad to hear you had a great time with Andy.
Fantastic tour. Richard (the tour guide and driver) was brilliant and made the day a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Highly recommend 💕
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We honestly always love to hear when guests have had a brilliant time with our guides, and Richard is definitely one of the best around.
Cannot emphasize enough, how great Kevin was on this tour. Very informative, with good commentary throughout. the tour itself was well paced, and I didn’t feel like there were any points in the tour where I felt like we were spending too much or too little at one place. The van itself is nice and is equipped with USB chargers, which was helpful for charging devices. The sites are obviously amazing, but it was the tour that really brought it to life. Thanks again to Kevin and everyone at the Mad Max team.
Kevin will be delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the day exploring the area with him on Tour 1. This is our most comprehensive a diverse tour and I am sure that Kevin thoroughly enjoyed sharing the beautiful and historic stops and scenery with you. We are very lucky to have him as part of our local driver guide team. Each one brings something special and a hidden gem of information not widely know. We are pleased to know you appreciated the size and comfort of the minicoach so you may take real advantage of socking up the wonderful countryside.
Thank you for joining us and we hope you will join us and Kevin on another occasion for more exploring.
We had a wonderful tour with kevin our guide, who was very knowledgable, and who's sense of humor made this tour so much fun. Very much recommended, we would not have been able to seen places as lacock or castle combe without a tour, and they were absolutely beautiful. Stonehenge and avebury were magical and mysterious. Really had a wonderful time. Many thanks to kevin and maddie.
It sounds like you had a fun and informative day with Kevin. All our guides just love sharing their knowledge of the area and like to make sure everyone has a fun day with lots of laughs as well as enjoying the stunning paces we are lucky enough to live near. We do hope that you have an amazing visit not only to the area but throughout your stay.
This was a great tour with just the right number of stops. Would definitely recommend this tour. Very efficient pick up and drop off.
Thank you for joining us for this award winning small group day tour. We try to make the tour comprehensive but not rushed or hurried so that everyone might really experience the wonderful area close to Bath.
We enjoyed our day travelling through the small towns and seeing Stonehenge. Andy B was a great guide. He had many interesting stories and his sense of humour was appreciated. Highly recommend MadMax tour.
Thank you for highly recommending our tours. Andy will be pleased you enjoyed your day exploring the lovely small towns and pretty villages so close to Bath. Enjoy the rest of your visit to Bath and we hope you might join us again for more exploring, sometime.
We are visiting from the US and this was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Richard was an amazing guide. It was a small group which made it feel more personal. Plenty of time at each spot. The buss was clean. It was a perfect experience and worth the money for sure!
Great to know you felt the tour was value for money and you enjoyed the pacing and stops of the tour. We always hope that guests enjoy the small group which as you found is a much more personal experience than the larger groups. The smaller vehicle also means we can explore places the larger vehicles cannot go. We hope you have some other highlights on your travels and lots of great memories to take home with you.
Amazing driver Richard went non stop for an entire day of site seeing in the rain. Richard led us thru Lecock, gave a delightful guided tour and knew all a the best stops to see in each small town.
Many thanks for taking the time to leave us such a great review. Sounds like you had a brilliant day with Richard, he doesn't let rain affect his enthusiasm! Hopefully you can join us again for our Cotswolds tour!
