We booked Evan Evan Tours via Klook for our Windsor, Bath and Stonehenge Day Tour. If there's one thing I love about planning for our UK trip, it was the myriad of day tours available from London and at budget-friendly prices. For this tour, we have to be at the meet-up point (Victoria Station) by 7:30 a.m. since the bus leaves at exactly 8:00 a.m. First stop was ... READ MORE
