Our tour took place during the heat wave, but our guide Valentine thoughtfully kept us in the shade whenever possible. She was truly a wealth of knowledge and was playful with our group who clearly all loved the Harry Potter series. The buildings and history of Oxford were even more wonderful than we as a family of four expected. We had a fantastic day even though it was in the 90s!

Calgar was outstanding!...

Calgar was outstanding! He gave us a fantastic full-day tour of the Cotswolds and struck the perfect balance – being informative without overwhelming us, while still giving plenty of space to explore the villages on our own. Communication was excellent, especially regarding pickup time and location, and his vehicle was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend Calgar to anyone looking for a wonderful Cotswolds experience!
