Top England Day Trips

This was my 5th tour with Rabbies! Their customer service has always been excellent and the small coach is always great and comfortable. I can never fault the company itself just that the itinerary did not suit our needs. We found that we needed so much more time to explore Oxford than the 2 hours. We definitely could have gone without the visit to the Cotswolds. They were very quick stops and I wish we had spent that time in Oxford. This tour is more like private transportation. It would’ve made more sense for us to take the train from London into Oxford for the day and done a walking tour. In my experience, the multi day tours are what Rabbies is excellent at! Their one day tours are so rushed but I imagine that would be the same with any other tour company on this schedule.

Tour was fantastic! Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Just a shame that tour guides can no longer talk while driving, so any questions you'll have to save for the many stops. We visited 10 lakes and some fantastic viewing points! Plenty of photo opportunities.

​If you are visiting Paris, you need to book Anna. She turned a stressful trip during the chaos of Fashion Week into a smooth, high-end experience. ​Why She’s Great: ​VIP Access: Anna is a true professional. She knows the staff at major landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, which allowed us to skip massive lines and breeze through security. ​Perfect Planning: Despite nightmare traffic, she kept us on schedule. Our lunch at the Eiffel Tower felt calm and luxurious, never rushed or "processed." ​Great Personality: She is funny, sharp, and remembered everyone’s names immediately. It felt like touring with a knowledgeable friend rather than being part of a tourist pack. ​Expert Advice & History: Anna doesn't just recite facts; she shares deep history and practical tips: ​The Louvre Strategy: She gave us a "pro-tip" game plan for the shops and gardens so we weren't overwhelmed. ​Safety: She gave us honest, real-world advice on how to avoid pickpockets without being paranoid. ​Hidden Gems: She showed us where Picasso lived, adding a layer of depth we wouldn't have found on our own. ​The Verdict: Anna is a high-energy professional originally from Latvia who is clearly a rising star in the industry. Any tour company would be lucky to have her. ​Note to the Company: Please make it easier to tip her via a QR code or digital contact list! Professionals of this caliber deserve to be rewarded easily for their hard work.

It’s a full day but completely worth it! Our kids ages 9-17 enjoyed walking around and seeing the different shops in Cotswolds and ate at the baguette shop. At Oxford there were many fascinating buildings and things to look at that everyone wanted to go to school there. Guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable! Ash got us there and back smoothly! We wished we had more time to enjoy the pubs at Oxford.

I loved the Cotswolds day trip from London! Megan, our guide was such a great guide!! She gave us all the details without being overwhelming and had just the tidbits I wanted to know! She was so warm and nice I wish she was my personal guide through all my trip! She gave us great insight into all the stops and also great recommendations on what not to miss. We had more than enough time at each stop to explore on our own, shop, and enjoy the sites. Our driver Gary took us swiftly and safely on the most beautiful journey throughout the countryside. Would recommend Megan and Gary for sure if you want to take this tour.

Tom was an amazing tour guide- very funny and yet very knowledgeable. The villages chosen were lovely, but I would have preferred more time in Bourton-on the-water and skipped Stow-in the-wold. I felt like there was a lot more to see in Burton and not much in Stow. There was just a small group of us which made it more enjoyable and the steak pie at the restaurant was fantastic!

The experience was well worth the trip. I would recommend at Windsor Castle to visit the Abbey first. The living quarters are neat but there is just so much you can run out of time if not paying attention. It’s a nice walk to the enterance gate. Make sure and get down to the parade ground and exit to see the changing of the guard at 11:00. Stonehege was a must see for me and it is pretty good. For the record the stones are not buzzing. Oxford was great as well. Nice tour. As a huge Tolkien fan I was wanting to see the pub “The Eagle and the Child” pub. A place Tolkien and his friends hung out at. Turns out you are one block from the pub. Our tour guide Peter was excellent. Very informative.

This was a lovely tour with a great guide. There were a lot of stops, and we generally had enough time at each. There are so many towns in the Cotswolds, though, that I kind of wish one or two were substituted with others we just drove through. But I understand why they chose to stop at each town they did, and I appreciated all of the historical context we were provided, as well as tips on what to see and do. I wish this group had a second half or full day Cotswolds tour that you could take the next day and see another 6-8 towns — I would definitely have done it! Unless you have your own car, it’s not really possible to visit these towns.
