Great experience
Alex_P
, Aug 2021
Ed and David were friendly, knowledgeable, and so accommodating. Our train was running late so they adapted quickly to pick us up from the train station. We really enjoyed the beautiful little towns and all of the information we learned about them. Ed and David are a great pair who have the ability to play off of each other making the trip very interesting. They were great at adapting their information to include more about the things we asked about. We would highly recommend!

Beautiful half-day trip to the Cotswolds

The tour was absolutely lovely. Both Isobel and David were extremely nice and knowledgeable, we had a wonderful experience with them. Isobel's commentary was excellent - full of interesting facts and David was very careful throughout the trip, driving through some of the narrow lanes of the countryside while we were enjoying the scenic views. We got to visit some of the most beautiful little villages in the area and got the chance to wander around and explore. This is the best half-day tour of the Cotswolds in my opinion. I would definitely recommend it!

Tour was wonderful! Guide and driver were courteous and very knowledgeable. Might want to start a little earlier as village shops at the last stop which was quite beautiful were closing. Definitely recommend this small group tour!

A little bit boring to us. I should have spent more time in Oxford, such as attending Hip On and Hip Off bus.

My friend and I enjoyed a great day in the Cotswolds. Tabby and David, our guides, were so nice and extremely knowledgable. They drove us through many of the most adorable, quaint streets. We stopped for shopping in a couple of spots and then made a stop for lunch in a secluded enclave in the Cotswolds. Tabby told us lots of local stories as well as the history of the region. A very enjoyable day! Highly recommend!
