The wonders of the old world saved by time for us living in the present times to experience and enjoy.

The bus is cramped. Very tight. For a bus tour, you will walk A LOT. We walked 7+ miles. A bit much for seniors. The guide was knowledgeable. The different towns were lovely but somewhat redundant. Beautiful country side, but more activity than this senior needed.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the countryside and found our guide knowledgeable.
Regarding the bus, no one else has raised any concerns before, and the exact type of bus is always clearly stated in the tour description so guests know what to expect in advance. As for the walking, the itinerary is an 11-hour tour that covers several locations, and it is also noted in the description that the experience involves a fair amount of walking and is not suitable for those with walking difficulties.
We truly appreciate your comments, as they help us ensure expectations are clear for all our guests.

This is a day long tour, it's arranged well; as you become tired you will need to walk less and the meal time is in the village with better choices. Misha is knowledgeable about the villages and genuinely wants you to have a good experience.

It’s a relaxing day. The pace is about right for a group outing. Bring water, umbrella and snacks. But there is plenty to eat along the way.

The villages were gorgeous, the guide Olga was great, the driver as good, everything was well organized for the tour, we had time for each village. BUT we had some massive issues with the bus and it ruined everything : the AC did not work at all, and the company knew it before the tour (I've heard the driver talking about it). It was 31/32°C outside, and without AC, and no air at all (nothing), it was 40°C degrees in the bus !! It was like being trapped in an oven, we were all feeling unwell, and at 10 am I was scared to collapse. The guide said that the AC was not working when the temperatures were too high, so what's the AC for ? She kept saying "it will work after 5 minutes" but it never worked. They should have never maintained the tour with this heat, they are lucky nobody had a heatstroke. At the end of the day, when it was cooler outside, it was still 33°C inside the bus ! This is irresponsible. I felt dizzy and unwell the next days, and that's because of the bus. I will never trust this company anymore.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are truly sorry to hear that your tour was negatively affected by the extreme heat and conditions on the coach.
Please allow us to clarify that Perlyny Tours is responsible for providing professional guides and organising the tour experience itself; however, the coaches are supplied by an independent third-party transport company. We do not operate or maintain the vehicles directly, and therefore some elements, such as technical faults, are beyond our control.
We understand how distressing the heat must have been on the day, and we agree that your comfort and well-being should always come first. The air conditioning system was functioning in the morning, but during the peak of the heatwave, the coach began to overheat, which significantly impaired the system's performance. In response, the emergency cooling system was activated, and all roof ventilation panels were opened in an effort to circulate air and provide relief.
We sincerely appreciate your recognition of the guide, the driver, and the organisation of the day. Your feedback is extremely valuable, and we are currently escalating this matter with the coach provider to ensure this situation does not repeat.

Beautiful locations. Good mix of information and time to explore. The ride was comfortable and pleasant.
Michele_M, Jul 2025
Misha was an amazing tour guide. He was funny and informative. The bus was very comfortable. Misha kept us on time for all the cities. Made sure we saw the important sites. I would highly recommend this trip.
Lisa_C, Jul 2025
The tour was very relaxing and each of the villages were beautiful! Ivan did an excellent job of showing us the basics and then allowing for time to explore on our own. A lovely way to see the Cotswolds!
JoLynn_C, Jul 2025
The tour guide needs to chat with guests as they are on their way. Our guide didn’t say a peep for almost 2 hours into the tour. Read the script and although he was nice, it was a poor tour. Tour guides need to speak loud. Didn’t know any facts about the locations.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your experience, and we’re sorry to hear it didn’t fully meet your expectations.
After reviewing your comments with the guide, we can confirm that he did, in fact, introduce a number of interesting locations along the route and shared various facts about each stop. He is new to the role, having only recently joined us, and while he may still be finding his voice and confidence, we believe he shows great potential and dedication to improving with every tour.
Delivering an engaging and informative experience is very important to us, and we’re confident that with a little more time, he will grow into a fantastic guide. We appreciate your understanding and patience as he continues to develop in this position.
Thank you again for your comments—they help us grow and refine our service.

Should give people warning about needing a full charge on their phone or bringing a charger to download the map for the days travels.
Daniel did a great job with telling the history and pointing things out as we went along.
Cristian_D, May 2025
Very well organized. Daniel, the guide, very knowledgeable and willing to convey interesting information. Much more convenient than the organized tours in London
Marty_H, May 2025
It was a perfect trip. Daniel was engaging and knowledgeable about each town we toured. He gave up ample time and several suggestions at each stop. He made sure everyone had his number so no one got left behind. Great experience

Nice experience and the guide, Daniel, was great. Definitely recommended for a day trip on a weekend
Ugochi_O, Nov 2024
I enjoyed every part of this tour. Far exceeded my expectations. Daniel was an excellent tour guide, very kind, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I will definitely go on other tours organised by this company anytime I'm in Birmingham.
Mahesh_k, Oct 2024
It was most amazing trip especially with the guide Daniel. Its of more hospitality and I suggest choosing PERLYNY tours especially..
Tina_P, Aug 2024
Our guide Daniel was great! Seeing the countryside and meeting all the lovely people was a highlight! A long day but worth the comfortable ride to see this stunning area. Thank you.
