Where to begin! My husband surprised me with a Stonehenge/Avebury/Lacock/Castle Combe + Movie Locations tour for my 50th birthday on March 13th, 2023 via Bath after taking a train in from London the night before (I highly recommend doing this). Just before boarding the clean and spacious bus, we were warmly greeted by our tour guide and driver Richard. Being from the States, the small, winding and sometimes wet roads were intimidating, but we felt totally safe with Richard behind the wheel. The legendary Cotswolds countryside was absolutely beautiful, and it took no time at all to get to Stonehenge. What a rush to see the famous stones in all their glory! Felt bad for the 3 giant tour buses parked nearby as those folks seems rushed and crammed in while we were anything but! Had more than enough time at this location and we were soon ready for the next, beating the aforementioned tour buses. Along the way Richard would chime in with facts, jokes, and interesting tidbits that had us excited for the next stop in Avebury. We loved the even older stones and the space we had to walk around minus the crowd, not to mention the authentic pubs we had time to enjoy - felt like we had the town to ourselves. Next up was the National Trust village of Lacock, with similar charm, shops, Lacock Abbey & gardens and more pubs (we loved Sign of the Angel!) and a walking tour of movie spots. Again, loads of time to wander around, eat and take photos. Then onto the picturesque Castle Combe! My goodness! So many movies have used the area and Richard took us on a walking tour that had us expecting to bump into Harry Potter or the cast of Downton Abbey! So beautiful and so memorable! This was a special birthday and one I will never forget thanks to Richard and Mad Max Tours! A++++++++++++++++

Beautiful country side. The weather is not great. Windy and wet. How can a framer survive with such an unpredictable weather. No wonder there are so many great writers in UK since they don’t have better things to do with such gloomy weather!

such a lovely trip with andy! we got to see lots of things but the tour didn't feel rushed at all and we had a good amount of time at each site. we got to stonehenge just after it opened so it was very quiet. i personally would have preferred slightly longer at stonehenge/less at castle combe but that's a small complaint and was ultimately timed quite well. i brought my own lunch but there were opportunities to get something to eat at every stop we made. longest drive was around one hour so never got bored sitting on the bus. we got given lots of information about each site, including a small walking tour of lacock which was also appreciated. overall a great tour to see the main sites in this area!
