This was a great way to see a little bit of the Cotswolds. We had 4 stops, each a little different from the others, so it was a good taste of the villages in the area. We enjoyed the journey but be prepared for a long day. The bus ride was comfortable and our guide Eva was very knowledgeable and informative.

This was an excellent tour! Pickup and drop off was smooth at each location. Ava was bright and engaging and made the day special. Each place we visited was beautiful, and the timing at each place was great. Pavel’s driving was wonderful!

Lovely trip. Calum was our guide and Daniel our drive. Both were on time and engaging.. Some walking required. Tour continues even in the rain.

Dear Susan
Thank you for your kind review and we are glad to hear you enjoyed your tour. There is a lot of rain at this time of the year on these islands in the sea, but we hope the autumnal colours were pleasant.

I didn’t have an experience because the trip was canceled. They said they didn’t have enough people so I can’t give you any information as to what I thought of the whole trip. Thank you very much.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Dear Joyce
We are sorry we had to cancel the tour but unfortunately as the season comes to an end numbers can be low. It is a shame as its nice to go to the Cotswolds in autumn as the leaves do their fiery display.

It was very informative, lots of fun. The only critique is that there was very little leg room on the bus. I was rather cramped as were some others I talked with.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Dear Customer
Thank you for leaving us a positive review. We're glad you enjoyed your day tour.
Parking is quite restrictive in the Cotswolds, with some villages even banning large vehicles, so we travel on the 19 seater. Whist this is more cramped than larger coaches, it means we can access more places.
Kind regards

Calum was a great guide and Kay a fantastic driver. There was a good amount of time at each of the stops. Bourton on the water is wonderful but a bit crowded. Highly recommended this trip if you enjoy quant towns with some great local crafts and antiques

Dear Alex

Great tour of the Cotswolds. Our driver Conroy was very good and our guide James was amazing. James was very knowledgeable and sprinkled in some humor into his stories (with his very posh accent). I thoroughly enjoyed listening to his commentary throughout the trip. It was a quick day trip but we were able to maximize our time in each place.

Every village we stopped in looked straight out of a PBS or Hallmark channel show.

This is a long day. With that said the quaintness of the Cotswolds is very unique and a lovely day. We were fortunate to have fantastic weather and a very entertaining guide named Nick and our driver Rich. They made the journey fun and safe.

This small group tour was so lovely! Nick our guide was energetic and funny and a delight! He is the right person to do this type of work, he shows a passions for it.
We needed to spend more time in Stow, a lovely villiage. Arriving after 4, most all of the shops were closed so all you could do was walk around, couldn’t even purchase a drink. That was a disappointment.

This was a full day itinerary but a wonderful experience. The bus was a little full and it would have been nice in a smaller group. Guide Tem was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Excellent day in the Coltswolds. Even though the weather was less than perfect the town's we stopped at were picturesque. Nick our guide was funny, shared a lot of area history and made it a great experience. It rained both going and returning but our driver was cautious on the road. This day trip is one I would recommend.

The countryside and charming villages with the many small bridges and flowing waterways made it a a day to remember. The weather was cool and wet which reduced the size of the crowds and made the day that much more enjoyable.

Sophie was an amazing guide. The bus was clean and the small group size was amazing. The sites we visited were great and we had plenty of free time to explore on our own as well. A big day but well worth it. Loved it

Michel was such a excellent guide, so much information and yet funny too. We had good amount of time for locations overall and cream tea was a nice ending for the day . Michel even had patience with my son, 4 year old youngest traveller of the day, although he was sometimes bit unruly inside the minibus. Thank you for a fantastic day out, my relatives over from Finland enjoyed their very English experience.
