What a beautiful day! Highly recommend! - What a wonderful experience! We had such a great day exploring the cotswolds with our guide Rowen. Rowen was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and you can easily tell that she loves her job. She also made sure that everyone knew where they were going once we got back into town, and answered any questions that we had, including recommendations. We ended up going on Remembrance Sunday, so we had a lot of cool opportunities to see things that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. One of the towns ended up not being accessible because of road closures for the holiday, but our tour guide pivoted and took us to the Downton Abbey village instead- which we were excited about. I could have easily spent more time in the first two villages, but it was already a full day packed with lots of things to see, so I don’t feel like we missed out. This is a great opportunity to see outside of London!

This a go but bring your own lunch. - Great tour guide. Cheeky but stayed within the lines. Stopped at three stops. The lunch possibility is ok but no value. The problem is time. Lunch either with the group of by yourself takes real time out of the short visit. Additionally, a map of each town would do wonders for people afraid of missing the bus.

An all day tour giving an overview of the history, economics, and culture of the Cotswolds in three villages. - An absolutely delightful experience with James as our well informed guide to the history and delights of the Cotswolds and with Henry our driver skillfully wending his way through London traffic and narrow village roads. We visited three villages with unexpected delights around every turn and learned much about the history, economy, and culture of the area.

Lovely way to spend a day in the Cotswolds! - James our tour guide and Henry the driver were knowledgeable, funny, and skilled (especially navigating a large coach on those narrow English lanes!). There was roadwork in Bibury so we went to Woodstock instead, which was a lovely town and happened to be my favorite over all. James was able to provide us with short walking tours and historical facts at each location which was a real bonus.

No the thing they promise - Well even though it wasn't what they promised, we didn't go to one of the points that says the app, and we weren't warned of the change
