Transportation dressed up as a tour

Irina_B, Sep 2026

This is transportation dressed up as a tour. We were dropped off at each village and told to wander on our own, then call when we were “done.” There was no guidance on where to walk, what to see, or why the stop even mattered. Our guide was essentially just a driver. The only “history” we got the entire day was the age of one building and the speed limits on the highways we drove past. We were bored by the halfway mark. If this had been advertised and priced as simple transportation, that would be one thing. But we booked expecting a real guided tour in a comfortable vehicle, and got neither. To make matters worse, the van itself was rough — there was no view out the front, and the vibration was so severe that by the end of the day our necks were aching. Aside from a quick check on whether the temperature in the back was okay, there was essentially no commentary during the drives.

Excellent tour!

Cotswold day trip

Dorothy_R, Jul 2026

Beautiful area with lots of history and greenery!!! A great day to beat the London heat and enjoy the countryside. Each city had its own character.

Fabulous day away from the city with Maria!

Jessica_H, Jul 2026

Our driver Maria was extremely kind and accommodating with our day trip out of the city and to the countryside. She provided us with a very comfortable and safe trip and was open to talking with us as little or as much as we wanted. She made some small suggestions and allowed us as much time at each stop as necessary. We never felt rushed or pushed into any type of schedule throughout the day. I would recommend a day trip with Maria as the driver for anyone wanting to get out of the busy London city for a day and see the beautiful countryside.

Steven_S, Apr 2026

Traveled on a beautiful day through the English countryside; driver was a very nice gentleman but was not a native of Britain and had no tour guide knowledge of tge Cotswold's. Take the excursion but specifically ask for a knowledgeable tour guide to be your driver.
