From London: Small-Group Cotswolds Villages Day Tour

Maryann_D, Oct 2026

Heartwarming

It's a lovely tour, beautiful little villages, so quent, The driver/guide was so knowledgeable, and made you feel so relaxed. I'd certainly go on other tours. His knowledge on what to see and do around London etc was phenomenal. Weather wise it was a bad day, but did not dampen the spirits.

Awesome way to see some...

Awesome way to see some of England’s most famous landmarks in one day from London (Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Bath and the Cotswolds). Rowen was the best tour guide ever and shared a lot of the history (and humor) of each place that made the trip so much richer and fun!

Great tour and tour guide

We had a great time on our small group day tour. Pete was a great driver and tour guide. We had a rainy day but he still gave us great tips and ideas of what to see and do on our stops and overly the rain kept the crowds away so we got to enjoy the sites without them being crowded. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. A great change of pace from the hustle of the London sites!

The guide was amazing we get the English guy SAM he is so accommodating with everyone works well with his colleagues driver Michell to get the bus on the road once the customers are loaded.

Great tour

Our guide, Phil, was super informative and full of knowledge. He even had restaurant and pub recommendations for London. Tour was well paced. Unfortunately, Windsor was closed the day we went for a state dinner, but we got refunded for that part/entry without needing to ask. Check the website for Windsor Castle for planned closures before booking.

Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London)

Paula_G, Oct 2026

A wonderfilled day which exceeded my expectations.

Our tour guide, Christopher is extremely well informed and passionately appreciative of the history and present day culture of the Cotswolds. I really enjoyed his presentation in advance of our arrival at the 4 little villages we visited, because he used light hearted humour and interesting anecdotes to illustrate his information. Christopher’s approach helped us remember our day more easily. I was late because U went to Michelin House and had to find the meeting point with some help. Then I got lost at Stow on the Wold because I was on the wrong side of the road so all the directions didn’t fit but everything looked to be the same. Additionally, I had no internet and couldn’t let him know where I was. Christopher was extremely patient with me and I just made it in time on both occasions. I realise that he had to satisfy the other visitors, who rightfully wanted to see as much as they could. Thank you again kind Christopher.

The tour was excellent in its' locations to visit. I know this is a very ambitious itinerary, but the day felt very rushed. I wish we had at least 1 more hour in Oxford because we barely got to see it. I would have left earlier or stayed later to get more time in Oxford and Windsor. I would definitely book with this tour company again. The guide and driver were both great and it covered over 200 miles that we could not have done on our own.

Would recommended going and seeing these cities!

We absolutely loved getting to see the Cotswolds and Oxford. Our tour guide Trish was super sweet, funny, and informative! She did a great optional tour of Oxford that hit the highlights of some of the popular buildings. It was a great way to see these cities without having to get a rental car and worry about the stress of driving. Michelle did a great job driving our bus especially when there was a road closure and she had to navigate the country roads. It was super impressive!

Back Roads Adventure

Ash, our tour guide and driver, did a great job leading us around the Cotswolds. There was plenty of time in each location. He was able to point out best places to eat, shop and where to find bathrooms. Ash used some back roads to keep us away from the tourist traffic and we were able to appreciate the beautiful landscapes. Just be aware some places are pay to pee, so have some 50p in your pocket or you will have to use your credit card.

A Great Tour for the Whole Family

Bus ride was comfortable and smooth. Directions to the Victoria Coach Station were very helpful. The trip gives you a little over four hours at the Harry Potter Studios. It wasn’t quite enough time for us to get through all of our tour. We opted to take the train back and use the shuttle bus to the train station. That was a mistake, the line for the shuttle bus was very long. My advice, plan what you want to see and move through quickly so you can make the tour bus back to London!
