We appreciated Daniel’s friendly and calm demeanor. He made us feel welcome right away and was sensitive to our needs throughout the day (walking pace, rain gear, bio breaks, etc). This tour is an excellent way to see several important sites efficiently without the stress of renting a car and navigating unfamiliar roads as a tourist. If we return to the region, we would take another tour with Daniel. Thank you.

I can say that it was a most interesting and wonderful day! Daniel is knowledgeable, kind and a gentleman and we learned a tremendous amount. Don’t hesitate it is worth dedicating your day to this adventure!

We had an amazing day with Daniel as our guide! The weather was perfect (which I know he doesn't control, but it started out not so good). He took us to Avebury and the West Kennet Long Barrow. We stopped for a delightful lunch in a quintessential small British town pub and finally, saved the best for last, Stonehenge. Daniel very patiently answered ALL of our many questions (even when the answers were "nobody knows") and was great with my often overly quiet teenager, trying to get him out of his shell. I was impressed with how much research he seems to put into his tours. Very often he'd mention speaking with an archeologist or historian, or even exploring other areas on his own. For an extra fee, Daniel even ended up driving us onto our next hotel instead of taking us back to Bath which was a huge load off of my shoulders! I find myself wanting to return to Bath simply to take another tour with Daniel! 15 out of 10 day!!

Daniel provides a rich and fulfilling tour that is both entertaining and educational. He is great at engaging the whole group to ensure each takes something valuable away from the experience. We are so grateful to have added this tour into our family vacation.

Our time with Daniel was the highlight of our 2 week trip to England. This tour offered us the ability to see all three sites in one day, have a drive through the beautiful countryside through quaint villages, and learn how all the sites in the area of Avebury and Stonehenge are connected. A very intimate way to experience these sites with Daniel’s expertise. Very relaxing and fun; had a great time chatting with Daniel. Definitely worth every penny and more!
