| International Friends Day Tour Bus |
International Friends - The Company
International Friends are a small family company operating modern small tour buses with a maximum of 16 passengers. As well as using these buses on day tours from London, International Friends are also a leading operator of short breaks by rail and coach to Paris and Scotland.
International Friends are the only London day tour company that specialises in daily scheduled day tours in relatively small 16 seat buses that can visit places the bigger buses cannot reach. International Friend's professional guides are able to give a more personalised tour experience than the large groups, and their smaller coaches are able to visit places and use country roads not viable to the larger coaches.
Many of the staff on the day tours are ex Astral Tours staff, a company that pioneered the small group day tour from London with great acclaim, but unfortunately went out of business several years ago.

Stonehenge and Bath Tour
This popular tour is a more leisurely paced day than most of the other tours.
The morning is spent viewing Stonehenge, the bus getting to Stonehenge before most of the mainstream coach tours streaming out of London.
You are in Bath around midday with unlike the three stop tours, plenty of time to view both Georgian Bath and the Roma Bath's, perhaps time for a bite or visit some of the excellent shops in Bath.

Mysteries of Ancient Britain Tour / King Arthur's Realm Tour
Neolithic Stonehenge & Avebury With Either Glastonbury or Salisbury
 |
| Touch The Stones At Avebury |
Two day tours both with a heavy emphasis on ancient Britain going back to Neolithic times, visiting both Avebury and Stonehenge. Avebury is not as famous as Stonehenge but unlike Stonehenge its totally free access - you can touch the stones.
The Ancient Britain tour also visits Salisbury, including an iron age hill fort, Old Sarum and a relatively modern medieval city of Salisbury only established in the 13th Century. Here you visit Salisbury Cathedral, one of the great English Cathedrals from the Norman period, including one of the four copies of the Magna Carta.
The King Arthur's tour as its name suggests follows a King Arthur theme and explores Glastonbury. A walk up Glastonbury Tor, a visit to Chalice Well Gardens and also the ruins of the once great Glastonbury Abbey where we find the grave site of Arthur and learn of older legends like that of Joseph of Aramathea, the Holy Grail and the Crown of Thorns.
