Richard was incredible. So knowledgeable and really made the day something special. It has to be the best day tour I have done. Would recommend Mad Max!!!
Steven_G, Apr 2024
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,
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Do lovely to hear how much you ejoyed your day with your day with Richard and Mad Max Tours. We are so lucky to be so close to such wonderful places as Stonehenge and Lacock. Tour 1 is our most diverse and comprehensive tour so if you only have 1 day to explore as much as possible it is a great way to do it. Richard will be delighted to learn you really appreciated the experience and diversity of the tour. We hope to see you again one day.

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.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks so much for your review! Our guides are all locals who love the area, I'm so glad you had a fantastic time with Tim.
Maddy will also love the feedback about her recordings!

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)
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your review of the Stonehenge and villages tour, that you took with Gerry. We are very lucky to have such fun and informed local driver guides as well as this stunning area so close to Bath. Some may feel that the start time for the tour is quite early. However, as you found it really is worth the effort and especially as we go into the Summer season. Arriving early at Stonehenge makes all the difference and we are delighted you appreciated it. We hope you have lots of great memories to take home with you from the tour as listed and the added extras.
CHERYL_L, Apr 2024
Stonehenge, Avebury, Lacock, Castle Combe, and other points of interest along the way. Jerry (Gerry?) with Mad Max Tours was knowledgeable and extremely pleasant, a wonderful guide. Highly recommend
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thanks for the Highly Recommend review. Gerry will be pleased to hear you enjoyed your day with him and Mad Max tours. Local driver guides do bring an extra dimension to the tour. We do hope you might join us again one day.

What a great tour! Our guide, Kevin, was just wonderful and provided so much valuable and fun information. We had such a fun day. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
So good to know you had a fun day with Kevin and really felt the tour value for money. Kevin will be pleased to know you had such a good time and enjoyed all the information from a local driver guide. See you again sometime.
Stephen_H, Apr 2024
Such a fantastic experience. Incredibly well planned. We happened to be the first people in line at Stonehenge because of our timeliness, and it was such a special experience.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We try hard to plan the tours so guests can have the best experience. The early departure is well worth the effort to avoid the crowds at Stonehenge and we are pleased you appreciated the very special places we visited.
Theodora_A, Apr 2024
Absolutely fantastic! I had such a wonderful time and Kevin, our guide was very knowledgable, friendly, warm and funny, such a great guy! It was a long day but I got to see places I wouldn’t have considered otherwise. The pace of the tour was really good and we got both guided parts and time to explore on our own. I definitely recommend because it was well worth it!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for the lovely review of your day with Mad Max Tours and Kevin our local driver guide. Travelling in the smaller vehicle enables us to help guests explore places that are less accessible in larger mini-coaches. We believe that it is important for guests to have the opportunity to explore on their own as well as having the opportunity to take part in walking tours. Thank you for the great recommendation, Kevin will be delighted.
Brian_W, Apr 2024
Excellent day with our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Richard. Very helpful and informative. Scope of tour was broad and gave a great overview of the area.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your review, we always aim to give a tour that feels like a good encapsulation of the area which is so close to our hearts. Also great to know that Richard was entertaining- he'll be pleased!
JiaXuan_Y, Apr 2024
The tour was amazing, with just the right duration allocated to each stop we visited. Our tour guide Richard was also very affable and knowledgeable and really added to our experience!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We're so pleased you had an amazing tour with Richard, our guides always love to impart local knowledge so it's great to hear it added to your experience!
