We booked two days with International Friends--the first for a day at Stonehenge, Salisbury, and Windsor Castle; and the second for a day at Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds. We booked driver and car, not guide service, and the first day, we got exactly that. Our driver, ***, was excellent--professional, polite, slightly reserved. We made it through heavy traffic to Stonehenge and lunched in Salisbury, but by the time we finished at Salisbury, it was much too late to even consider a Windsor visit. *** did take us into Woodstock to look at Windsor from the outside, for which we were grateful, but this added considerable driving time. We had booked ahead for Windsor, so missing it was a disappointment. It would have been very helpful if the tour service had looked more carefully at our requested itinerary and worked with us to make it more reasonable--even without traffic, making these three stops would have been near impossible. We had no real way of knowing that, but presumably they should have.\nThe second day our driver, ***, was absolutely amazing--widely knowledgeable, charming, gregarious (but also happy to drive quietly as we slept on the way home!). He knew the Cotswolds like the back of his hand and took us winding through tiny back-country roads to picture-perfect villages, including a pub for lunch that was absolutely perfect. We would be delighted to spend more days in ***'s company any time! Overall, we were very pleased with International Friends.
