Great introduction to the Cotswolds. Lovely lunch at an historic pub included. Our guide, Nicholas, was informative and entertaining. The driver, Neal, was excellent too. I definitely recommend this relaxing day trip!

A wonderful day out in the Cotswolds with a delicious lunch. Very well organised. Our tour guide, Nicholas, was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our driver, Neil, was also terrific. I definitely recommend this tour if you want a taste of the Cotswolds.

Our guide Nicholas and driver Neil were lovely. Pace was never hurried. Picture perfect scenery, great contrast of villages. Recommend.

Our guide, Peter, was absolutely great. Extremely knowledgeable and energetic. He was very smart and had lots of personality. The tour company ran this very well - no surprises and we received all that was promised. For us personally, the tour itself felt like a wasted day, however. Lots of time on the bus, very little time to see the villages. But that is not the fault of this tour. It's just the reality of geography and logistics. I would recommend doing this type of day trip if you have loads of time in England, want to get out of the city, and don't mind spending an entire day to see relatively few things.

Great trip, Flossy was amazing and I would do it again with her leading the way. The Cotswolds are is very beautiful and the people there were very friendly.

Our guide was funny informative and very helpful with suggestions of things to do during our stay in London. We had a change of towns due to construction but it was ok. Our driver was amazing.

Our guide Frank was delightful! The villages were lovely. Unfortunately, this tour might work better with 2 excursions; which would allow more time for people to appreciate and enjoy the locations. Lunch was delicious (we had the meat pie); however, it does cut into your time to explore the village. I would skip the meal and grab a sandwich whilst exploring. Downton Abbey fans will enjoy this tour!

Our tour guide was great!!! very informative and made the tour so enjoyable. The villages they took us were wonderful and so interesting to see and hear all about the history of each one.

The website didn’t state the itinerary had changed. We found out via the app. A bit misleading but the outcome was positive. James our guide was excellent as was our driver, Christian. The commentary was very informative, educational & amusing. The sights were spectacular. The alternative lunch was delicious. Not returning to Victoria bus stop was unexpected but James very professionally ensured we all knew how to get back to our hotels.
