Mad Max Tours

I would definitely recommed this tour to anyone else. Our tour guide, Kev, was super freindly and filled with local facts and knowledge and was more than willing to point out other local landmarks and park near them for a bit. We had a small very small group so we didn’t disturb any of the local towns with a bus load of tourists! Lacock and Castle Combe are very quiant little towns and driving past the country was equally lovely. Would definitely take their tours again!

This tour was great and small! 16 of us got into a van for an all day tour to Castle Comb, Avery Stone Circles, Lacock, and the infamous Stonehenge. Pickup was at 8:30 at the Abbey Hotel right next to Orange Grove and the Abbey and returned around 5:30. £38/​person for this plus £14.50 for Stonehenge entrance fee and lunch.
Our tour guide, Tim, was very happy and funny and made the tour enjoyable all day. He was very informative and was willing to answer any questions you have about any of the sites we visited. Overall, I highly recommend MadMax for your visit to Stonehenge and other places while in Bath. My only reason as to why I didn’t give this a 5 was the amount of time spent at each place. It would have been great to spend a longer time in Stonehenge (only got maybe an hour 15 minutes) and Avery Stone Circles (got 45 minutes) but obviously in order to cover all these sites, we had to be on the road getting to them.

Used them once back in 2003 — Loved the same groups. I am usually against the big bus tours but this one is small. Love it.
Chelsea M’s review is spot on.
Highly recommend taking their tour. I plan on taking it again.

Mad Max was great at helping us book a tour from the US. Our young son misplaced his camera on the tour day and the staff could not have been more helpful looking for it. Two thumbs for their customer service!

Mad Max Tours is not only fairly priced but completely amazing. The small group of 16 allowed everyone to ask questions, get on the same bus to Stonehenge, and still get the benefits of a discounted entrance ticket to Stonhenge.
I liked the bus-​like van a lot as it allowed our wonderful driver to pull over on small, country roads so we could take pictures of interesting sites such as a few of the white horses on the hillsides.
We did the Stonehenge/​Avery/​Cotswald Tour from Bath and felt that we saw a lot of the countryside that we would not have been able to see without renting a car (at a much steeper price than what Mad Max was charging).
It was also easier to get lunch because we were a smaller group and we could walk around small towns suck as Laccock (sorry if I am spelling that wrong) without causing too much of a disturbance and still see where «Harry Potter’s Parents Lived.» (Note: This is not a tour that is all about Harry Potter, our guide was just kind enough to point out some of the shooting locations.)
Would highly recommend to anyone traveling in Bath.

In spite of recent heavy rain and flooding, our full day tour of the Cotswolds was fantastic. Our driver, Tim, took us to villages off the beaten path. His knowledge of history, geography, architecture and culture throughout the centuries enriched the experience. His recommendations led us to wonderful pubs, shops, and a free two-​hour walking tour of Bath. Exceeded our expectations in every way!

We only had a day and wanted to get a feel for the Cotswolds, luckily I had read about Mad Max Tours. We took the full-​day tour and our driver Charles was amazing. There were only three other couples in the van with us and we all got our money’s worth.
Charles took us through some beautiful country and we stopped at some of his favourite spots along the way. Many of these places were off the beaten path, something that I appreciate. Charles was also able to change plans when the weather turned sour, making sure we got the region’s full experience.
The price of £32.50 for the full-​day tour can’t be beat. That’s cheaper than a car rental, plus you get a driver who knows far more than what any guide book can tell you.
I generally don’t like going on tours in groups, but Mad Max’s knowledge of the area and dedication to showing us the authentic (and less-​traveled parts) of the Costwolds made this a 5-​star experience.
