Loved all of it. Richard was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and funny. Stonehenge, Avebury and Cotswold were all interesting and I really enjoyed see the Harry Potter filming locations and the stories involved,

Angelica G

Great tour. Tim was an excellent guide. We saw a lot and Tim was very knowledgeable. The van was comfortable. The audio commentary was clear with proper volume. There was enough time to see everything we wanted to. If we could do it again we would shave a few minutes here and there from other stops and add about 15 minutes more to the last stop at castle Combe.

LIttleRockerTraveler

We could not have been more pleased with this tour that we booked with Mad Max tours. Tim was our guide and he was excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and low key, he made this tour a delight. Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock and Castle Combe made for a most interesting and enjoyable day. His knowledge as well as the taped commentary was very good. Usually at the end of a long day of touring, you are most eager to get out of the van. Not so in this case, I would have enjoyed going to the pub with Tim to engage in more interesting conversation. Book it now!

Tim, our guide for the day, was exceptional! He was a fantastic driver and his knowledge of the area was fascinating. He gave great tips on what to do in each village that we visited. We also enjoyed Maddie’s taped history lesson prior to entering the villages. Great job Tim and Mad Max tours.

Jeff T

Tim the Policeman was awesome! He was full of history, knowledge, and answered all of our questions! You'll be in good hands if he is your guide! We would highly recommend this tour and company. Loved the small group setting and Tim made sure we all saw the sights and sounds of Bath and the area!

Jerry was an amazing guide and he kept us engaged and informed throughout the trip. Being in the first buses at the Stonehenge gave us the benefit of admiring it and taking good pictures without the crowds. Lovely stop facing the White Horse to feed the horses in the field. It was very thoughtful that he had some carrots with him. Beautiful tour of Avebury, Lacock and Castle Combe with so much of interesting information (like origin of phrases like blind drunk, daylight robbery, graveyard shift)

amyfB4423GH

I had a really enjoyable time on this tour. Our guide Richard was knowledgeable and funny. The tour was a nice balance of structure and free time. We had plenty of time off the bus to explore on our own. While riding, Richard shared numerous interesting information about the area we were seeing. Highly recommend the tour and company.

Richard did an amazing job with the right balance of stories and history. Very personal experience as he attempted to call us all by name. Gave us options at the sites to have free time or have a mini tour at the site with him. It was an outstanding experience.

Tim was our tour guide and we can’t say enough good things about him! What a wealth of knowledge and such a nice guy. He really made the day enjoyable and memorable. This was the perfect tour to take to see Stonehenge and the countryside. I’d recommend this company wholeheartedly!
