Lovely Cotswolds! - I went to the Cotswolds on Wednesday with Golden Tours and had a wonderful experience. We visited the beautiful villages of Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Bourton-on-the-Water. The scenery was absolutely stunning — I truly felt like I was inside a fairy tale.
In Bourton-on-the-Water, I had a lovely meal at The Old New Inn, which made the day even more special. The guide, the driver, and the whole group were very kind and friendly.
The villages are charming, peaceful, and full of character, and the local people were lovely as well. I only wish I could have spent more time exploring the places slowly and enjoying the atmosphere even more.
I highly recommend visiting the Cotswolds to everyone. It is such a beautiful and unforgettable place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Day in the Cotswolds with Golden Tours - Last Friday I had the great pleasure of joining the Golden Tours guided trip around the Cotswolds, and it was an absolutely lovely experience from start to finish.
When we arrived at Victoria Station, we were greeted by our wonderful tour guide Amanda and our coach driver Ashley. Check in was quick and easy, and we left Victoria right on time at 8:30am. After making our way through London traffic, about two hours later we reached our first stop: Burford — a charming, picture perfect village where we had almost an hour to explore.
Our next stop was Stow on the Wold, followed by the final destination of the day: the beautiful Bourton on the Water. Here we enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Old New Inn, and even had time to visit the Model Village and wander around the town.
Throughout the entire journey, Amanda shared fascinating stories about the area, English history, and the Royal Family. She was attentive, joyful, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe and well looked after. Ashley drove smoothly and confidently, adding to the relaxed atmosphere of the day.
It truly was a delightful experience. Thank you, Amanda and Ashley — you are both fantastic!

A beautiful day exploring the CotsWolds - Tour operated in English
Our Guide Oliver and driver, Zoo skno took great care of us giving us the right directions to enjoy the villages visited.
The time available at the different stops was sufficient in my opinion.
Great experience

Relaxing and fun! - Anna, our tour guide and Reese, our driver, who are associated with Evan Evans Tours made our day trip to London’s countryside fun, scenically, beautiful, relaxing and educational. We’ve traveled to London several times, but this was our first time to travel into the countryside and wow, it worth it. So much history and natural beauty, not to mention quaint shops and yummy eateries. Thank you Anna and Reese for a great day in the countryside!

Relaxing - Nice to see the English countryside. The lunch was quite good, large portion. Quite a few people on our tour did not seem to aware of the 15 minute walk from the bus into the village at our last stop. I knew of it before hand, but maybe it was not described so well in the tour description.

Beautiful area but poor itinerary - Golden Tours was the provider for this tour and I would not book a tour that used them in the future. They canceled our tour 2 days before and gave us an option to switch to another tour or get a refund. Where this was an all day tour and we had already planned for it in our schedule, we chose the replacement tour that they offered. This new tour added on Bath and still allowed us to see some of the Cotswolds. When we arrived to the bus station to get the tour, they were very disorganized. They didn’t know what bus we were taking and their staff seemed uninformed. The bus itself was not the cleanest. Trays weren’t wiped down and the trash was full before we even started our journey. The tour itself was not the best itinerary because Bath is in one direction and the Cotswolds is in another. Both the driver and tour guide said the tour should really be to one or the other location- Bath or The Cotswolds but not both in the same tour. The amount of driving really limited the time we had to spend in each place. With that being said, Michael our driver and Eileen our guide were very good. Buford, the last stop, was 40 minutes and almost all of the stores were closed or closing when we arrived. I think The Cotswolds are worth exploring for sure but not with this itinerary and not in this timeframe.
