Review of the Stonehenge and Bath day tour from London, with coach travel, ticket options, timing, guides, value, and practical tips.

“So worth the trip! We had an amazing guide Leon who had us all laughing throughout the trip. Stonehenge is a site to be seen and I would love to return to Bath as it is such a quaint and beautiful city. We had time to shop, eat lunch, and see the Roman baths. Our bus driver was great as well. Take this trip, you won’t regret it.”

The Manchester City Stadium Tour

10.The Manchester City Stadium Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,176 reviews · from $35

Tour Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, enter the dressing rooms, walk the players' tunnel, meet virtual Pep Guardiola, and see matchday spaces.

“Excellent, informative tour with guides Hannah and Tim. Grandsons loved sitting in the various seats in the Team dressing rooms and also in Pep’s seat in the dugout. Pitch looked amazing. Press conference experience with virtual Pep also a highlight. Thoroughly recommend this tour. It will be such a shame if this tour becomes self-guided as the personal guides add so much to the tour which cannot be replicated with handheld devices.”
