The BEST private tour - Johnnie was the best tour guide we could’ve asked for. Extremely knowledgeable and interactive. He knew the area of Cotswolds and its history so well! He was able to show us the most beautiful parts of the landscape while also answering the million questions my parents and I had about the history, architecture, geography etc. of the place. The best decision ever was to take this tour and would 10000% recommend to anyone visiting Cotswolds

Not Enough Stars to Rate Experience - We are writing this note to thank and commend Johnnie for his excellent tour of the Cotswolds. We found his reviews online and that is what prompted us to hire him. There aren’t enough stars to thank him for what a great ambassador he is for the region, his warm personality and incredible knowledge of all things local. It was much more rewarding for us to have a private tour in a car than to be in a giant bus with a mass of tourists. The better we got to know Johnnie, he became more of a friend than just a guide. We learned there are many other tour routes that we could’ve done, and may do when we come back in the future. You don’t need to look any further. Johnnie is your man.

A truly exceptional experience - Our experience with The Cotswold Tour Co. was exceptional. From the time of our booking, until being dropped back at the train, our experience couldn’t have been any better. What a pleasure it was to spend the day with Johnnie. From the get-go he made us feel so comfortable that soon we felt as if we were touring with an old friend. Johnnie is so personable and knowledgeable. We had read that Johnnie was great at sharing the history of the Cotswold region, and we found that to be true. I’ll add that he has a way of telling the story of the Cotswolds that is really interesting and engaging. Being on a tour with a local to the Cotswolds was definitely the way to go. As soon as Johnnie welcomed us at the train station he let us know that, for him, what was most important was that our tour would meet our needs and wants. He was ready to take us on the adventure we dreamed of. That was greatly appreciated! We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the beauty of the countryside and exploring the charming villages through the windows of his comfortable car. We pulled over every time we wanted to take a picture of the amazing vistas or walk around a storybook village. Johnnie took us to places we would have never had a chance to see on a group tour, some that only a local would know about. We chose the 8 hour tour and truly enjoyed every moment. The Cotswolds didn’t disappoint, and we give great credit to Johnnie for that. Thank you Johnnie! We highly recommend this tour, you won’t be disappointed! (I normally don’t write such wordy reviews, but it was such a great day I had a lot to say!)

An excellent tour of the Cotswolds! - The trip was amazing. We didn't have Johnnie, but one of his friends Robert. Robert was an amazing guide. We only had one request on our list which was to see Diddly Squat Farm as seen on Clarkson Farms. Once that spectacle was over, Robert proceeded to show us everything he held dear to his homeland. We saw Batsford, Chipping Campden, Stanway House, and Broadway Tower amongst many other locations. We also stopped at a local pub for a late lunch...I honestly cannot remember what it was called but the food was great local pub fare.

Outstanding! - This tour is the best Cotswolds tour I have experienced! Johnnie is a kind and knowledgeable host and goes out of his way to customize your tour. The tour will include many beautiful Cotswolds villages and places that the big tour busses don’t visit, and Johnnie will provide you with interesting information and stories about each one. Johnnie’s tour is a great way to spend the day exploring with a local. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again! Thank you Johnnie!
