Beautiful area but poor itinerary

Jennifer_V, Jul 2025

Golden Tours was the provider for this tour and I would not book a tour that used them in the future. They canceled our tour 2 days before and gave us an option to switch to another tour or get a refund. Where this was an all day tour and we had already planned for it in our schedule, we chose the replacement tour that they offered. This new tour added on Bath and still allowed us to see some of the Cotswolds. When we arrived to the bus station to get the tour, they were very disorganized. They didn’t know what bus we were taking and their staff seemed uninformed. The bus itself was not the cleanest. Trays weren’t wiped down and the trash was full before we even started our journey. The tour itself was not the best itinerary because Bath is in one direction and the Cotswolds is in another. Both the driver and tour guide said the tour should really be to one or the other location- Bath or The Cotswolds but not both in the same tour. The amount of driving really limited the time we had to spend in each place. With that being said, Michael our driver and Eileen our guide were very good. Buford, the last stop, was 40 minutes and almost all of the stores were closed or closing when we arrived. I think The Cotswolds are worth exploring for sure but not with this itinerary and not in this timeframe.

Very good tour of the...

Very good tour of the Cotswolds and afternoon at Belheim Palace. Would like to have had more time at each stop .Our tour guide was a bit much with all her sales pitches .
