While the big buses are stuck in Dover, we're here. 😏

St Margaret's at Cliffe — a hidden gem tucked along the Kent coast that most visitors never get to see. Small group travel means we go where others simply can't. 🚌✨

Happy St George’s Day! 🌹

Dragons… Shakespeare… and a man in very impressive tights. Honestly, England is doing a lot today.

Here in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Bard himself looks like he’s about to drop a dramatic speech — or at least judge your life choices a little. Fair enough, he’s seen a lot.

If you’ve ever strolled through places like this, you’ll know the feeling: centuries-old buildings, stories everywhere, and the sudden urge to say something poetic (or at least try).

And if you haven’t yet? Let’s just say… photos don’t quite capture the moment when you realise you’re standing where all those famous words began.

We love sharing spots like this at The English Bus — the kind that make you laugh, look twice, and maybe leave knowing a few more words than when you arrived.

So here’s to St George, a few dragons 🐉, and Shakespeare — who gave us hundreds of ways to say “this is a bit dramatic.” 😉

Oh and happy birthday to the man himself!

Spring has officially sprung in the English countryside. 🐑🌱 There’s nothing quite like leaving the city buzz behind for views like this. Who’s ready to hop on the bus and find some peace and quiet?

What a wonderful review!! Thank you. As a small family business, it really means the world to us to read feedback like this - thank you for trusting us with your precious vacation time, and I hope you will have memories to cherish for years to come.

Come back and see us again soon!

There is nothing quite like the honey-coloured stone of the Cotswolds to make you feel like you’ve stepped into a storybook. 📖✨

We were so touched to read this recent review from one of our guests. At the end of the day, our goal is always to make you feel less like you’re on a "tour" and more like you’re exploring the hidden corners of England with a knowledgeable friend.

Huge thanks to Cara for bringing that passion to every trip! It’s these small, relaxed moments that make the long winding roads so worth it.

Whether you're a local looking for a weekend escape or visiting from afar, we can't wait to show you our favourite spots.

You’ve seen the postcards, now meet the guys who know the stories behind them! 👋✨

Meet Tony and Chris. When they aren't busy debating which local pub has the best Sunday roast, they’re out here in places like Bibury, making sure our guests see the UK through the eyes of a local friend, not just a guidebook.

We know the "big bus" tours can feel a bit... anonymous. That’s why we keep things small, personal, and flexible. Whether it’s finding the best photo op before the crowds arrive or knowing exactly where to grab the best scone in the Cotswolds, these two have you covered.

The Good News: We’ve just had some spots open up for our upcoming tours! If you’re planning your UK adventure for 2026, come and say hi to the team.

Big Stones, Tiny Traveler 🏛️✨
A little to the youngest member of The English Bus family on her very first visit to Stonehenge!

There is something truly magical about seeing these 5,000-year-old giants through a child's eyes. It’s a reminder that no matter how many times we visit, the wonder never fades.

Whether it’s your first trip across the pond or a long-awaited return to the English countryside, we’d love to welcome you into the family for the day. Let’s make some history together. 🇬🇧❤️

This is what a great day out looks like 😊

We loved having this group on board — lots of laughs, good conversation, and one of those tours where everyone feels comfortable with each other pretty quickly. Huge thanks to them for the lovely feedback about Cara, who brought her usual enthusiasm and warmth to the day.

Small group, cosy bus, and plenty of time to actually enjoy the journey (and get to know the people you’re travelling with).

It means a lot when guests find us through word of mouth — and even more when they say they’d recommend us to others.

Thinking about a day trip from London? Who would you bring along?

First tour of 2026, and Stonehenge turned up dressed for the occasion ❄️✨

Frosty grass, blue skies, ancient stones doing what they’ve done for 5,000 years — stealing the show. Not a bad way to start the year.

We also had the unbeatable combo of great guests and our brilliant guide Val - sharing stories, secrets, and the kind of knowledge that makes a 5,000-year-old monument feel very much alive.

Here’s to new journeys, brilliant guests, and plenty more moments that make you stop, stare, and say “wow.”

Tag the friend you’d wrap up in a scarf and bring with you 🧣👇

Another Christmas getaway in the books to Belgrade in Serbia🎄🚌
…and what a way to round off the year with our little (and wonderfully quirky) family at The English Bus.

From behind-the-scenes tours in glorious old vehicles, to getting our hands dirty doing under the bonnet checks on 40-year-old Yugos (because some habits never fade 😉). From heading up into the clouds (literally) to soaking up history on every corner, punctuated with oh so much food and drink! I'm still full.

Special moments? Plenty.
- Tony channelling President Tito with a truly remarkable likeness.
- Lucy and Jen holding court at the head of the table.
- Cara discovering the sign that feels like it was waiting just for her.
- And countless laughs, stories, and shared meals that remind us why we do this together.

We’re so proud of our guides and our team – the people who bring The English Bus to life day after day. Trips like this aren’t just about where we go, but who we go with ❤️

Scroll through for a few highlights from our festive escape ✨ and wishing you all a very happy and healthy 2026!
