What an amazing, beautiful, memorable day! Andy picked us up right on time from our hotel, and was so friendly. He explained and asked us what we wanted in our day and we told him we trusted him, and to take us to the cute cotswolds villages and teach us about the history. That’s what we got! He knew his stuff. He took us to a few less known villages because it was a Saturday, to get away from the crowded, touristy, villages… and those were some of our favorite spots! Couldn’t have asked for a better day!

This is a great way to see some of the best villages in the Cotswolds with a small group or family. The tour guide allows for flexibility if you prefer to spend more time in a few places. Would do it again.

Our private tour of the Cotswolds, led by Ian was fantastic. Ian was very personable and knowledgeable. It was wonderful to let him do the driving, and take us to perfect spots. This area of England is very charming, and is well worth the trip.

Our day was delightful....

Denny_M, Mar 2025

Our day was delightful. We were comfortable with our guide’s driving skills. He was pleasant and knowledgeable, providing context, stories, and information about the towns we visited. He provided a great mix of guiding, but also provided us with time to explore on our own.

Such a perfect day!
