Mysterious Stonehenge, 5,000 years ago the huge 40 tonne stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why remains a mystery today. Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to enthrall the imagination and captivate the heart of every visitor. eXpect the best from gr8 Xpectations travel company - Londons only mini coach operator.

"Hi-ya
Just a quick note to say a great big thank you and to let you know what a fantastic time we had on your tour! Everything was perfectly organised and we were made to feel special the whole time. The tour guide was a joy - he was really enthusiastic and totally knew his stuff and your booking staff were really friendly and helpful. It was a perfect day and we've already started planning a return trip.
Again, many thanks!!

Dear valued customer.

For more than 10 years, we've pioneered quality mini - coach day tours from London. Our continual improvements and innovations kept us at the forefront of tourism in the 90's and have taken us forward into the 21st Century.

As well as classical sightseeing of all the favorite attractions we aim to include an active experience of the real England - perhaps a beautiful country walk, lunch in a cosy country pub, cider and real ale tasting, exploring off the beaten track places of interest and villages where time stood still.................each tour includes experiences over and above a standard big coach tour making a day to remember.


Why small groups ?
With a maximum group size of just 16, we keep the experience and enjoyment both as individual and as personal as possible. Typically, a group consists of half couples or friends and half individuals raveling alone. Our tours attract people of all ages, backgrounds and nationalities but united in a desire to break away from regimented, impersonal big coach tours.

Small groups are environmentally more friendly and their effect less disruptive to local communities. It also means you get the chance to get away from crowded tourist haunts, taking scenic backroads to places you may not have heard of, but wouldn't want to miss.

Small groups leave fewer footprints.

Luxury Travel - Choosing OUR small group tours doesn't mean you compromise on comfort or safety. We use recent models Mercedes mini coaches (less then 3 years old) - coaches renowned for their reliability and safety, custom built to our specification for your comfort - huge panoramic windows for the very best views above the hedgerows, high backed coach seats, 3 point seat belts, air conditioned and a first class sound system.

All the features of a big coach without all the passengers!

About Our Guides - Our guides are carefully selected for their personality, wide knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for our style of tours. Never boring - you will find them informative, professional but down to earth with a real passion for showing you the very best of Britain ! They pride themselves on entertaining you with tales of England's rich history, culture and legend to ensure a memorable experience of the real England. Of course all our drivers and guides are trained to meet the high standards of the London Tourist Board's 'Welcome Host' program.

Affordable Quality- Relevant entrance fees are included (some tours include lunch in historic pub). - NO HIDDEN EXTRAS.

We have PRIORITY ENTRANCE into all attractions. No QQQQQQ's - more time to explore.

We GUARANTEE that you wouldn't be able to visit the same places in one day, or at a cheaper price, by raveling independently using public transport.

Our Commitment to you...... We are committed to providing a high standard of quality and personal service. We constantly monitor our tours, looking out for new routes or places to visit etc................. and listen to what you want.

We are proud to boast that many of our customers come back to us year after year and 60 per cent of our business comes from recomendations from previous customers. As a small business satisfied customers are our best advertisement - please take time to read customer testimonials which are updated weekly.
