Quaint, beautiful villages. Claire was a great driver/tour guide. Fun to go down back roads and see additional villages.

Len was our tour guide. He was fabulous, born and raised in London, He gave us a lot of insight throughout the trip. The Costwolds was a beautiful trip back in time to the English countryside. We saw villages and even a pub that dated back to the year 947. I highly recommend this tour, and ask for Len.

Jaime was awesome and was full of interesting knowledge about the area. Bourton-on-the-Water was our favorite. It was the largest and had the most interesting shops in our opinion. It was well worth the full day trip to visit. Only thing we did NOT like was having to sit at the back of the van the entire time.
We were one of the first there and was told to wait by the coffee shop until they called everyone. We waited and then noticed people walked over and were being assigned buses, by the time we were assigned the only seats left were at the very back of the bus on the bench row with another couple and we were uncomfortably smashed together with them. We did ask if we could change seats after the long drive to the first village and was told no, "first come first serve" which didn't seem fair at all since we WERE the first ones to make it to the meeting area. Everyone else were seated in rows of two's or in the single seat row.
We also knew the time to return to the bus but had to wait those that did not return when they were suppose to. No matter where we go there always seems to be someone who won't return on time.
Because of these issues we would not take another tour anywhere. We would simply rent a vehicle and drive there ourselves in comfort, being able to stay and leave as we wish.

Loved seeing several different villages, all interesting for different reasons. Kevin kept us on track and provided a lot of great information about the area. Perfect day trip from London.

One of the best experiences ever. Our driver/tour guide, Rob was phenomenal. He was accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The mini bus was clean and extremely comfortable. The travel time between stops was just right - not too long but long enough to see everything we wanted to see. We chose the B&B option, and loved both of them.

Enjoyed the great information our guide Kevin provided, the 16person van was comfortable, great stops with amazing history. Just a nice relaxing informative day.
We enjoyed a pint at two of the stops, had some macaroons and ice cream to go with our fish and chips lunch.

We had a wonderful trip to the Cotswolds last week with Jamie. He's an outstanding guide with a great sense of humor who provided a thorough overview and history of the beautiful countryside. It was the perfect way to spend some time away from London during our week's stay. We highly recommend the trip -- ask for Jamie!

Trip is ok. It is beautiful countryside and the towns are lovely. The tour hits the major commercial towns and I have read many people avoid those towns to get to more of the quaint villages which would have been nice. Our driver/guide, Jamie was very good natured and easy going. He provided very good information and kept things intersting with his humor. The down sides are that it is a lot of time in the bus just driving which we knew it would be,but it was worse. It may have felt worse because the seats in the van are very small, I mean very small! I am 6ft 3in and had to sit somewhat sideways all day because my knees couldn't fit behind the seat in front of me. If you can sit in one of the front seats you would have a much better time. We noticed a couple of other people in the van who were also struggling getting comfortable in the seats. But, the trade off is this was better than having to drive myself and figure out driving routes.
