Evan Evans Tours Reviews Summary

Time Management

Pros:

• "We spent just over an hour at each location, so the day was rushed but it was also exactly the snippet we wanted while we holidayed briefly in London!"
• "Simon was the best tour guide ever! He was super friendly, cute, witty, and personable, and answered all of our questions about Stonehenge."
• "They were on time and very organized."
• "Simon's time keeping was the best! He made it very clear from the start how we'd be able to make the most of our day by being on time."
• "The whole day ran smoothly and on time."
• "Simon was upfront about the schedule. I loved this, we knew what to expect."
• "Expectations were set from the beginning that in order to get through the day we needed to stay on time, which I appreciated."

Cons:

• "NOT enough TIME. I have a picture when we entered the castle at 10:19 am. We left castle at 11:05 but the walk back is confusing and LONG."
• "It can feel a bit rush if you want to take your time and consume the whole experience slowly."
• "The only downside is you have to rush! You won’t get enough time to explore."
• "The visit to Windsor gives you little or no time to visit the castle."
• "Unfortunately, they were not flexible with time at all, and we ended up leaving a couple of people behind at Windsor Castle."
• "Once again, the place was packed and were only given less than hour to roam around."
• "Each sight had less than an hour for spending time there."

Cons:
