Adele_L, Apr 2026

Most of this 5 hour half day tour was in the coach. Very little time spent in the 3 villages on the tour. The 3 villages are very popular with tourists so expect large crowds. Martin was a very good guide and took us to parts of the Cotswolds that most tourists do not see. The tour gives a good overview of the Cotswolds.

Beautiful Tour!

The half-day+ tour of the Cotswolds well worth it!! The history, the beauty, the expanse which I had no idea. Our Tour Guide was fun and so informative!! He also provided extra insight in history because he's lived in the area years. Highly recommend!

Highly Personalized Tour of the Cotswolds

We had a fantastic experience with Martin! He was very engaged, attentive and provided a very personalized tour. He has a great understanding of the history of the Cotswolds and was able to answer our many questions. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of England in general and was able to provide a larger historical context.

We had lovely weather the day of our trip so it aided in a great introduction to the Cotswolds. The vehicle was very comfortable. Our driver and guide Martin was extremely knowledgable and personable. I would highly recommend this for all people visiting the area for the first time.

Wonderful Day

Mark was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the area and history of England. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him exploring the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace. Please check upon booking what tickets if any are included in the price of the day. We had to buy the Blenheim Palace tickets on top of the tour price which made it a good bit more expensive than we had planned for at the onset of our trip. Other than that, it was wonderful.
