The Cotswolds!

It was good! The tour was really more to get to the Cotswolds, and our guide was just okay. Not a ton of energetic commentary like we have come to known from Golden Tours. You get to see three Cotswolds villages, each for about 2 hours each. We found ourselves strapped for things to do once in the villages by ourselves, as our guide didn't really give recommendations. It was good to see, do, and now I can say that I've been to the Cotswolds, but I wouldn't go again.

Great tour!

Oscar did a phenomenal job providing information in both English and Spanish. He seamlessly slipped between the two languages and made the tour a great experience for all! Our driver, Kluvinder, got us to all of our destinations on time and seemingly - with ease. Great tour! Thank you.
