Amazing family tour

Brita_E, Mar 2025
We had an amazing day in the Cotswalds with Andrew! We had a group of 6 - four adults and 2 kids. Andrew had a super comfortable van for us, and he and Ian created a perfect itinerary for our family and kids. Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s history. We learned a ton but also had some free time to explore on our own. I’d definitely recommend!

Great tour of the Cotswolds

Bruce_T, Feb 2025
We had a great experience going to the Cotswold with Andrew. Pick up and drop off right on time. Nice comfortable car. Very knowledgeable tour and good selection of places to stop. We were thankful that we did not attempt to drive this on our own, The driving is very difficult and required an expert driver. Andy navigated some seriously challenging narrow and windy streets!

Undiscovered Cotswolds Private Tour

Carol_P, Feb 2025
Andy from Undiscovered Cotswolds was an awesome tour guide. We spent entire day with him and he was a world of information. We visited Lower Slaughter, Bourton on the Water, Burford and Minster Lovell. Andy recommended High Tea at Lords of the Manor (pictured) and we were not disappointed. This was our 1st time to the Cotswolds and Andy was patient with us while we explored, rested and took in all the places we visited. Definitely 5 stars and 5 thumbs up.

Day-long Cotswolds tour

Our guide Andrew was amazing! Not only was he knowledgeable in every aspect of our visit, he went over and beyond with teaching us and awnsering our questions This was a highlight of our two week trip and would recommend to anyone looking to go see outside of the city

Excellent Visit of Northern Cotswolds with Ian

Claudette_J, Jun 2024
My husband & I visited on May 20, 2024 with Ian & we had an excellent experience! Ian was very knowledgeable & professional! Since we were staying at a hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, we visited the Northern Cotswolds with its picturesque villages, market towns & buildings made from the local Cotswold stone. Ian made the tour very interesting blending a mix of driving & walking per our preference, answering any questions we might have, allowing time to take photos & taking photos of us. We highly recommend the tour & Ian. Thank you, Ian!!

Beautiful Cotswold personalized tour!

Heidi_M, Apr 2024
Ian was very easy and helpful to work with from the time we booked our reservation and making recommendations on the schedule based on our groups preferences. He met us at the Oxford train station since we were traveling from London for the day. He helped us have a smooth day from start to finish without the worries of renting a car. He had great historic information about each village and had great suggestions on places to get tea/ coffee and lunch. We saw four towns, side stops to see a rock circle, and Oxford. We travelled with two families with teens who all really enjoyed the tour. We would do again and recommend to anyone desiring a smaller guided tour.

Quaint and Picturesque

Jo was a wonderful and friendly guide! She was very knowledgeable and we could tell she loved giving tours! We had a memorable day in the Cotswolds!

A most enjoyable day.

Ian, the owner was very responsive in planning the route for us. Jason, our driver, was personable and very informative about the various villages we visited. It was a great way to get a feel for the Cotswolds.

Jo is awesome!!

Pep_H, Jun 2023
The expertise and friendliness of Jo. She made my Cotswold experience more memorable than I could ever imagine!

Great way to see the Cotswolds

James_B, Nov 2022
Ian provided an awesome tour, enjoyed it thoroughly! I will recommend this trip to my family and friends.

Amazing!

This was truly a one of a kind experience. My daughter and I were looking for an alternate experience as we had visited the Cotswolds previously and done the touristy portions. We wanted to really experience the Cotswolds at the core and see/learn things we wouldn’t normally. Ian was amazing and showed us a beautiful side the Cotswolds and some truly unique treasures. He shared a ton of local stories and knowledge that unless you were a local no one would know. I’d recommend to anyone and everyone!

Abwechslungsreiche schöne Tour

Unser Guide Andrew hat die Tour für uns sehr unterhaltsam und angenehm gestaltet und uns durch sein großes Wissen über die Cotswolds beeindruckt. Wir haben viel gesehen und uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
