Today we have had a full days trip with Mad max tours with Tim has our guide. He was a font of information and a really nice guy. We decided to do this tour because my cousin and her friend wanted to see Stonehenge and typical Cotswolds village. We were not disappointed although the good old British weather was rather wet! Would recommend this trip.

Heads up! The Company has a policy of moving already settled solo travelers from front seats to the back so late-arriving couples can sit together. Not ask, but telling. I was so surprised, I have had numerous exchanges with the owner, and their reasoning is that people don't like to sit with strangers. Okay, but I arrived early and got a good seat in front, and I'm fine to sit with anybody. The message is that my comfort doesn't matter compared to a couple who arrive late. That, and sexist micro-aggressions the rest of the day. Very pretty country, but there are loads of other companies, for a single person.

I would highly recommend this tour, we had a wonderful day with Gerry as our guide. The small group enhanced the experience and we learned a lot about the places we saw.

Absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide Kevin, He was so personable and shared interesting information and fascinating stories about our sites. Kevin grew up in the area and was able to add local insights. When a road on our route was closed, Kevin didn’t blink an eye and treated us to a fun back-roads route. He made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed and far exceeded my expectations for the tour. Highly recommended!

This tour was great value for what they covered, an all day event that was very informative and scenic (in between towns). Jerry, our driver and tour guide was very attentive, enthusiastic and engaging...made the tour that much more enjoyable. We highly recommend the Mad Max, truly one of the best tours we ever taken.

The tour was pretty much as expected and is obviously very popular as I had to book months in advance. Two photo stops that were advertised as part of the tour didn’t happen. I was particularly disappointed that I only got a fleeting glimpse of the Cherhill White Horse. People sitting on the other side of the bus wouldn’t have even got that. Our driver was safe and a personable and knowledgeable guide
