North Cotswold Dream Tour: Iconic Villages & Hidden Gems

Thank you for a lovely four days tour of the beautiful Cotswolds. Vince and Steve were excellent drivers and tour guides. Each one was very knowledgeable of the history, fables and humorous stories of the area. Our transportation was comfortable for traveling quite a few miles! Each day we were taken to an interesting pub for lunch to enjoy the local cuisine. We are six senior citizens, so Vince and Steve made sure we got as close as possible to our venues. We saw places like Stratford-on-Avon that we knew about to the Rollright Stones, that we had never heard of, which are older than Stonehenge. It would be so hard to pick a favorite place because each place was lovely in its own way. Thanks for getting our tickets to Christ Church College in Oxford-very helpful that you offer to do that. We enjoyed our time so much, so many good memories, and SO many pictures!! Bless you all!

We had a tremendous experience with Jeanette. Our instructions to her were that we wanted to have a relaxing tour seeing some things off the beaten path - and she delivered! We saw some incredibly idyllic scenes across the Cotswold landscape and got a wonderful sense of the local history. The people there were warm, the pace of life slower, and the scenery stunning. This is a must-do for folks who want to see the area!!

Had a wonderful experience touring the Cotswolds with our amazing driver, Phil. Being from Phoenix, we found this a lovely time of year to experience the countryside. Would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful time exploring the Cotswolds with Mark E., our tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed his commentary on the local history and its backdrop against the rest of English history. Excellent source! Mark was very accommodating to our varying interests and drove us all over from Stourhead to Blenheim. His in depth knowledge of history, architecture, and topography made our two days touring an amazing time. We concluded our touring with a fantastic experience baking classic English confections at a beautiful farmhouse in the countryside with a lovely host who served us all tea and sandwiches. 10/10!

The team behind Cotswolds Tours & Travel continue to provide best in class service. The Dale family are delightful to work with, from Robin, a long time cotswold resident who knows the ins and outs of the region and provides an extra special sparkle as the founder of the program to Eddie who is highly responsive and helpful in itinerary planning. The expert driver guides (shoutout Rob & Jen!) who provide top service, insights, fun facts and chat along the journey make the experience highly personalized and unique. We have used CT&T 3x now as a family and will continue to be loyal customers and fans! The service leaves you feeling truly spoiled and highly informed. This year, we chose to do the Cotswolds Cottage experience with local baker and delight, Anna, which was fantastic, the Falconry with Walks with Hawks was quite an exciting and unique moment for us and finally, as always, clay pigeon shooting is a thrill. We cant wait to be back with our Cotswolds "family!" If you're thinking about it....book it. You can ensure the best possible experience in the Cotswolds with a local legend, Robin at the helm, and leave feeling informed and connected to the region.

Steve Goodenough was AMAZING! He was knowledgeable and so accommodating! We would highly recommend him! A fabulous day!!

Steve Goodenough was very friendly and knowledgeable with lovely stories and anecdotes about the area. I highly recommend the company and Steve!

We spent several days on a custom tour of the idyllic Cotswolds and Bath with Cotswold Tours and Travel. John L. was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide and great company. He indulged my request to go to Lower Dean where Steve Winwood lives, which made our day even more special. We also spent a morning with Steve Goodenough, another knowledgeable guide who took us to Stonehenge, which was mind-blowing. Sue's knowledge of Bath was astounding. Colin took us to the southern part of the Cotswolds on our way back to London and a great conversationalist. Excellent drivers and the vehicles were very comfortable.

Steve Goodenough was a gantastic tour guide. He provided many insights on a range of subjects in a professional and fun manner. I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in a fun and enjoyable day in the Cotswold region.

Just an amazing day with Mark as our guide. He arrived at our hotel early and the Mercedes van was very comfortable. My wife and I immediately felt comfortable with Mark and knew it was going to be a great day. Saw 10+ villages and learned from Mark what makes each village unique. The all-day tour was tailored to make sure my wife and I saw exactly what we wanted to see with a few bonus stops along the way which we never would have found by ourselves. . Mark’s knowledge and expertise of the Cotswolds made the visit to the area far more enjoyable than anything we might have achieved trying to take it all in on our own.
