    We were stuck on the return trip due to the traffic diversion of M4. This was supposed to be known to Londoners but not tourists. This was however not the worst. At somewhere near Reading, the driver suddenly parked the coach at the roadside of a highway, telling all passengers that his legal driving hours had finished. This happened at 10:00pm though we were originally scheduled to come back to London by 8:30pm. We were asked to wait for another driver to come but till 10:45pm, the driver could not tell passengers when the next driver would come. By then, passengers were kept for more than 6 hours without even an option for toilet. Finally, a passenger managed to get a uber and took a total of four passengers back to London after mid-night only to find that his legitimate claim for the uber fares being denied by Anderson Travel.

    While the tour itself was good, it was rather frightening and scary experience when the driver stopped the bus in the middle the road due to his shift being completed. The Bus was caught up in traffic due to highway M4 down for maintenance due to which the driver timings got completed. The driver informed that he has called up the office 2 hrs in advance but there was no response. There were around 10 passengers including women who were left stranded on a desolate place highway. We did not have a chance to pick up any food or water which would have been the case if the driver had stopped accordingly knowing the scenario of stopping at 10 pm. Instead he choose to drive on and stop when the clock struck 10 pm and just waited for next instructions from his head office where it seems he was not getting a go ahead to continue and drive the bus to London. Finally, we tried booking an Uber which too was difficult as we were near a place called Aisha Islamic center in reading which is far off from London. We got a Uber cab at 11:30 pm and reached our home in Kingston avenue around 12:25 am having to pay £73 from our own pocket. I was very scared for myself and my wife as we are tourist and had not expected such negligence. Regards, Prasad +91 7506655605

    I got 2 emails that this trip was canceled but also was still receiving emails about the upcoming trip. I was offered an alternative trip, but when I asked for details, no one responded. I am still waiting on a response from both Anderson and Viator about my refund.

    As was warned by other tourists who had been in this tour, it was a long bus ride to and from London/Cardiff. The Tour Guide was in Cardiff and we met him by about 12:00 noon. We were not informed though that the Tour Guide will be in Cardiff therefore we were wondering what to expect since there was nothing going on during the bus ride from 8:15 to 12 noon, we were not sure if the bus driver was also the Tour Guide (just like the other tours we had where the tour guide was also the driver) but the bus driver was not saying anything during the ride, thus we were like “are we doing the tour on our own? Are we to explore Cardiff by ourselves?” We were just happy to meet the Tour Guide by mid-day, he did his best to share information about the important places in Cardiff. This tour is 2/3 of the time just sitting (eating or sleeping) on the bus and 1/3 actual tour of Cardiff, due to the distance between London and Cardiff. I was just interested to see a part of Wales even for a short time so I booked this trip (at least one checked-off from my bucket list). Many thanks to the driver who drove us to and from Cardiff safely and thanks to the Tour Guide ( sorry, I forgot his name) as well.
