Great trip!

We chose the one-day Cotswolds tour (3 villages) with dinner included We had a great time with the help of our great guide, Andrew We appreciated the formula of both having a fast tour of the place with him and then some time on our own to wander around each place The lunch was at the Swan Hotel, a picturesque tavern, with a good main course and a great dessert I would absolutely recommend it

Excellent experience

The day was super well organised and the driver (Miguel) and tour guide (James) provided a fantastic service. We were given loads of free time to explore the villages. The lunch was generous and delicious. I highly recommend this trip.

Idyllic day with Tom and Ricky

Tom and Ricky made the day perfect, Tom with his interesting anecdotes and information, and Ricky with his outstanding driving skills. We highly recommend this tour to see some of the key sights of the Cotswolds with some time to wander the towns and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Amazing day at Cotswolds

We thoroughly enjoyed our Cotswolds tour. The journey included three stops, allowing us ample time to explore each charming village. Tom was an excellent guide, providing us with a wealth of information. A special round of applause goes to our driver, Ricky, for his excellent service. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
