Traveler reviews
More Transportation than Tour
The transportation was great and proceeded on time at all three locations (Oxford and the Cotswolds). Basically, customers are left the wander about Oxford and The Cotswolds on their own. This is a full-day tour. That said, there was far less information provided than one might have expected. In Oxford, Rabbie's provided a map which generally was useful, but lacked certain needed information. For instance, there are no street names on the map. Furthermore, there is an inaccuracy in the map showing the path out from the Turf Tavern resulted in our completely missing the bridge over the street. The village in the Cotswolds was small with little of interest, and the really small town offered little other than tourist trap stores with little real selection. One was left wondering why we were there at all. On our own we found a lovely old church, but no one had mentioned it. The final location, Arlington Row in Bibury, was worth seeing. Again, there was no guidance, and customers were just left to look around on. their own. Having taken Rabbie's tours in the past and having really enjoyed them, we had expected more. This is one tour in which Rabbie's could -- and should -- improve.
Great family day out
This was a great day out. Our driver Dan made sure we got the full time in each place even though it meant we got back a little bit later. He was great with giving us interesting facts about our stops too. I would do another Rabbies tour.
Enjoyable day trip
We had a very pleasant day touring Oxford and the Cotswolds. It was a wonderful way to experience both the historic charm of Oxford and the beautiful countryside of the Cotswolds without having to worry about the logistics. Our guide, Iggy, made the day especially enjoyable. He took great care of everyone, kept us entertained throughout the drive, and struck the perfect balance between being funny and informative. His commentary added a lot to the experience, and his friendly personality made everyone feel welcome. Overall, it was a relaxing, well-organized tour and a great way to spend the day. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking to see Oxford and the Cotswolds in a single trip.
Fantastic tour
A fantastic, empathetic and friendly guide who explained to us in a professional way the cities we saw
Great tour. Great guide -...
Great tour. Great guide - just the right amount of narration and quiet time. I think this tour would have been better in the off season when there were not so many tourists in the Cotswolds. But still very enjoyable.
