There is a lot of walking, including stairs and moderate hills.
This is manageable for most of the people.

This tour with Ash was great! He took us to many places the big buses can’t go. He was very helpful and patient.
I totally recommend this tour with Ash.

Our driver was Ash, he was awesome. He was able to keep us on schedule and share all kinds of knowledge of the area. I found the tour a great escape from the hustle and bustle of London. It was a great way to get a taste of all that the Cotswolds offers

This trip was really worth getting up early 🙂 Ash did everything he could to beat the Saturday/good weather/school holidays-crowds and was successful. Spent a great day exploring those villages, country back roads and even Stratford-upon-Avon, which I couldn't remember being on the list. Loved those old houses and special charm of each village and learned a lot about Cotswolds-history. Glad I gave this tour/tour company another chance after unfortunately the exact same tour I booked last September had been canceled on short notice. I would for sure recommend this tour to my friends. Small comfortable bus, friendly tour guide - great value for the money.

Our host/guide/driver Ash is the best! Professional, knowledgeable, funny, involved. Ash asked for our small group's input on scheduling given expected tourist traffic in the Cotswolds. I use a cane- he offered assistance, showing genuine consideration to my comfort and activity level. Ash connected with each of us. A wonderful guide, a small group, sunshine and a beautiful region - who could ask for more? Would absolutely recommend this tour.
Rosalis_O, Jun 2026
Ash was great!!! He kept us informed and on time during the whole trip. He was very knowledgeable of the history if the Coltswolds, was also very compassionate and understanding of our small group needs.
In general he was friendly, comfortable temperature in the car gave us local recommendations and took pictures of our family. I would recommend this tour with Ash, we made beautiful memories.

Our guide Ash was great. All of the spots were filled which made for a tight ride in the van, but Ash was very good about it and offered for us to stow some items in the back so we weren’t as tightly crammed. We had to make a small adjustment to the itinerary because of some town closures but Ash was upfront about all the changes. I really liked the handout he provided that had little maps about each location as well as some self-tour options and details about the towns.

The trip was amazing. We had to skip one of the destination, however the experience was well worth it.
Our guide Nathan was amazing, very friendly, professional, easy to understand and answered all our questions.
Thank you for this unforgettable day.

This day tour was a great way to see the Cotswolds and the countryside when time is a factor. Our guide was prompt and knowledgeable and funny. Thank you for showing us a nice day away from the city.
Rick_B, Sep 2025
Great experience and overview of the Cotswolds. Delightful guide with stops in several beautiful villages. Paul was the best!
Natalya_T, Sep 2025
Efficient and enriching way to see Cotswolds, I Highly recommend, especially if you don’t have much time and can’t drive on a right site
AnnMarie_D, Aug 2025
Paul was personable, friendly and knew his history about the area! We visited 5 or so villages as well as Dtrayford on Avon.
priyanki_h, Jul 2025
Extremely cramped up sitting and seat belts very hard to use. Guide is good but trip was kind of rushed. Viator does not include Stratford upon Avon that this tour has. It was Cotswold at a glance and not detailed..
Shannon_W, Jul 2025
I’d loved this tour, saw several quaint villages, just wish we had a bit more time to explore. Our tour guide Paul was very knowledge and friendly. But I do have the say the van was extremely uncomfortable, very tight seats and very warm. But overall worth the discomfort to see the sites.
Cheryl_L, Jun 2025
Wonderful day trip. Paul was fabulous! Wish we stayed in the coltswolds .
🤩 Otherwise no complaints 😉
Barbara_B, Apr 2025
This was such an amazing tour. Paul knew the area well and even added a bonus stop. Being with a smaller group allowed us to see much more. I would highly recommend this tour. Don’t hesitate to book this gem!
