We arrived at Southampton cruise terminal and were picked up promptly by Graham who proved to be an exceptionally knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. On our way to the Salisbury Cathedral, he chose a route through the New Forest where we encountered sheep in the road and other wildlife while he explained the history of the area. Our stroll through Salisbury and visit to the Cathedral was a walk back in time and Graham was able to share many details of the town and the cathedral's history. On to Stonehenge which was a once in a lifetime adventure. The weather was awful with rain and wind on the hilltop where Stonehenge is located but Graham was able to make the day pleasant with stories and information. Last stop was a wonderful pub in Berwick called The Boot where lunch was enhanced by stories from the owner and great fish and chips! Thank you Graham for making our day so educational and enjoyable. We have had several guides from Viator and you are the best! Sharon, Christa and JanMary_K

This transfer was great. Jason was amazing! He kept in constant contact with us as he worked his way through traffic to pick us up in Southampton. He was a great guide and very informative. Because he wasn't as familiar with Oxford as he wished, he asked a fellow employee Ethan to join us there. They both shared their knowledge of both Oxford and Blenheim Palace. Jason dropped us off right at our hotel at the end of the tour. I would definitely recommend this transfer!!Donald_B
