Traveler reviews
Nice tour
The guide Iggy was very friendly and made the experience enjoyable. Oxford was a nice place to visit and the map handed out helped us get around. The Cotswolds village stops were nice to see though over touristy.
Great Day Solo
Had the best day! Our leader was knowledgeable and easy to listen to and talk to. I liked being told facts while on the car ride and then free to roam the city on my own.
A Wonderful Day
My mom and I had a wonderful time on our tour with Alan. He was funny, informative, and provided plenty of great information throughout the day. Alan not only provided historical and factual information but also local stories that made the day even more enjoyable and entertaining. At every stop, he shared suggestions on where to eat, the best restrooms, and the best way to spend our time. We would love to do more tours with Alan (but leave Phillip at home).
Great Tour!
Our guide (Dan?) was fantastic. Great personality, very knowledgeable about where we were. A lot of fun and we learned a lot!! Will use Rabbi again for sure when back in the UK
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.
