Oxford Sightseeing River Cruise Along The University Regatta Course

Nancy_E, May 2026

Scenic cruise & good company

Short but fun ride up the river with Paul. We were lucky to have a lovely warm evening and caught some of the VIIIs practicing on the river. Plan ahead as the evening cruises sell out and order your cocktails & snacks before your cruise time to avoid delays.

Paul_C, May 2026

Amazing Cotswold Tour

We had an absolutely wonderful full-day tour of the Cotswolds. The scenery was stunning and the charming villages looked straight out of a postcard. We visited multiple beautiful towns and sites, each with its own unique character, and had enough time to explore, shop, and enjoy the local atmosphere. Jason, our guide, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the day both informative and relaxing with interesting stories about the history and culture of the area. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Cotswold’s.

Cotswolds Villages Full-Day Small-Group Tour from Oxford

anywang, May 2026

Excellent day tour from Oxford with several super photo opportunities

This was a small group tour of 7 people. Saw the beautiful Cotswold area with several great photo opportunities. Few other tourists in the smaller villages. Everything was smooth from reserving to pickup and drop off. Everyone was timely when given free time to explore. Some walking required. But they will accomodate you if you want less walking. This was a gem of a day trip from Oxford. I would highly recommend this. Ian was a wonderful guide and super knowledgeable. Good value for your money.

Great walking tour of key sights. Moderate walking with breaks to sit.

Moderate amount of walking to see key sights in central city Oxford. Good balance of free time at a few of the sites. Ricardo does an excellent job of telling us about the sites, relevant points, and history. He also answered everyone’s questions. Would highly recommend having him as your tour guide.

Great experience touring the Cotswolds!

We had a great experience with Christian. We knew we wanted to tour the Cotswolds but didn't have any set agenda in mind. Christian was very knowledgeable and directed our tour - we ended up seeing lots of charming villages and learned so much about the history of the area. Would definitely recommend and would book him again if we are back in the area!

Thank you Roy!

This was a highlight of our trip to England. A must see if you’re in London. Roy was our tour guide and driver. Picked us up at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel in London.
