The best thing about Trailfinders is that they get you really good seats on planes. I don't know…read morehow they do it, but everyone I know who's had a flight booked through them has been able to get aisle or window seats as requested, extra leg room, front or back. This may sound like a strange thing to like, but believe me, it makes a difference on a long flight on a stressful journey. That aside, Trailfinders ticks all the boxes and can help you find cheap flights, good quality hotels, car hire and more. The staff are knowledgeable and the prices aren't always that much dearer than doing the same yourself on the internet.

Booking online may be cheaper, but if you want convenience and maximal flexibility, Trailfinders are the way to go.

If you're limited to only shopping in the centre, then this place is your best bet. They may not have my preferred brand, but they usually have at least a version of the sauce I'm looking for. Your other choices are GG Oriental Snack Shack in Gloucester Green or to venture out onto Cowley Road. My only warning is, if it's not priced, ASK before you buy. I didn't realize until I got home that the one small jar I didn't see labeled with a price and that the till lady couldn't scan, she manually entered 9£ for it!

What makes or breaks a guided tour of a popular attraction like London is the tour guide. On our…read moredouble-decker tour of London, Joe the tour guide was wonderful - funny, engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. That made the entire experience! I would also like to give a shout-out to Radu (the driver) - yes, he was an excellent driver, but he was also the perfect foil for Joe's boisterous and entertaining persona, and he really cared about the customers - he was polite, professional and very thoughtful, for example lingering a bit longer at a particular attraction to let a member of the tour get their pictures just right. I was very pleased with Goldent Tours as well - ease of booking, prices and plethora of choices. All in all - I would use them again and highly recommend them.

We booked despite the bad reviews because it was the only way to get Harry Potter tickets during…read moreour quickly planned trip. We read the reviews and understood we were going to need some patience. The problem with many reviews were the meeting instructions (via TripAdvisor) so we went to the Baker Street location a day early to scout it out. We could not find signage for Golden Tours. We did see a Harry Potter bus dropping off a group and assumed (wrongly) that the spot was also the meeting spot. Actually they do have a location (store front) near the Baker street stop. It is not on Baler Street. If you come out of the tube and turn away from the wax museum, you will find their store from down the next block. That is the meeting spot point for tours! Very important thing to know and find -- because you have to meet there to get your tickets beforehand. We missed our bus time despite arriving 45 minutes early. The staff was less than kind about this part of the trip and made no apologies for the lack of directions. They gave us headphones but there was no movie on our bus. We had set our expectations low for our son, due to the reviews so we didn't mind -- but there were some disappointed families near us. The bus was clean enough but no WiFi and the phone charges didn't work on most seats. The driver for this portion of our trip was great and very helpful given that he had to help us find someone on site to get our Entry tickets. Despite the set backs, we finally had tickets in hand and enjoyed the studio tour from here on out on our own. The trip back was easy enough but this bus driver was less friendly and at one point was screaming at another driver along a busy street in London. We actually found it comical and thought it added to the busy city feel, but I could see how many guests would find this very unsettling. All in all, it is OK if this is the way you can get entry tickets to something on your must see list, but if you have options - I'd try another company.

Great reviews on Yelp guided us to The English Bus for our tour of Stonehenge. I liked the idea of…read morea small group tour. We had a great experience! We easily booked on line a couple months in advance of our trip to Stonehenge, Bath and a Secret Place. I had a few questions, which were answered quickly through email. Instructions and itinerary were provided after we bought we tickets. Additional and helpful information was sent a few day prior to our trip. Noelh, our tour guide, was knowledgable, interesting and fun from the moment he picked us up in London. He provided information beyond the tour stops. He was engaging and had a good understanding of the geology of Stonehenge as well as the historical background. He made well time stops for breaks. We spent about two hours at Stonehenge, two hours at Bath and an hour at the Secret Place. The Secret Place was worth the extra and I highly recommend. Noelh offered a brief and interesting walking tour at each site and left us time to explore on our own. We were allowed to bring snacks on the bus but we didn't need them because we stopped plenty at places for food and drink. Noelh provided water. Bring water and rain gear. There were UBC ports for phone charging on the bus. The bus was very comfortable. Noelh was sensitive to a woman that was having mobility issues and arranged for her to skip part of the walking tour. I enjoyed Stonehenge and the Secret Place immensely, I was glad I saw Bath, but it was too crowded during our visit. Others on the tour really loved Bath. I highly recommend The English Bus tours.

The small bus is great in that you don't have to spend all the time getting on and off a huge tour bus.

I've never experienced anything organised worse than this trip to Lapland with Transun, it was…read moreterrible. Everything was difficult, mis-organised and mis-advertised. Transun couldn't have cared less, for every little thing (no organisation, mistakes, changes, delays, missed meals, untrained reps - through all this no communication) they just passed off any responsibility. Blatant lies too - tours on the website weren't offered and we weren't told till we'd paid for the trip and it was too late. I did the igloo interlude which says "with all the comforts of a warm cabin" and "your very own ice and snow house deep in the wilderness" - laughable! It was an igloo in a built up carpark, with a horrid, smelly, dirty warm room! SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. I wish I'd listened to all the other bad reviews.
