I really enjoyed Mike's historical perspectives on our Great Britain tour. He made our trip both fun and educational. He was very helpful in suggests for our free time and in how to get us to our hotel post trip. I also enjoyed meeting people from all over the world. It was fun getting to know and learn about other parts of our world. We took part in most of the optionals. Most were worthwhile and worth the money. We opted to do the Bath Abbey instead of the optional tour. I think we made the right choice.

This tour was a really great time. I lucked out by having an amazing group of people that made the long rides and waiting times pretty fun. The only down fall was not having anything to do on Christmas day which was a bummer. My group and I made the best out of it by walking around but there was minimal amount of things open and it was kind of a waste. We were also rushed in certain places, especially since we had to find a work around due to the holiday closings. But! Our tour guide Lee was pretty amazing. He was very funny with his jokes and his hello, hello, hellos every time he was going to speak. He also made time to hang out with us after the tour ended. On two occasions he invited us all to bars with him to enjoy the night life in the places we were in, which was super nice of him to do. Even after work he was still working and making sure we were ok. Then there was Minty. Minty is a character with an awesome voice you'll see when you go out for some Karaoke. Also, what a drive

Good experience with Expat Explore's GBTOUR tour. While some nearby places were missed, the tour offered enjoyable moments. However, extended coach rides felt like time could have been better spent.
