A Fairy Tale Trip With a Tolkien Twist - An enjoyable trip to the picturesque Cotswolds with my personal highlight St. Edward’s in Stow. Its magical northern door likely inspired J.R.R. Tolkien’s creation of the “Doors of Durin” for “The Fellowship of the Ring”. Our tour guide Nicholas was highly knowledgeable and made the whole trip a truly entertaining experience. Would definitely recommend. 👍🏼

Great day in England - We had a wonderful time on this tour. Our guide, Steve, shared lits of interesting facts, and Miguel, our driver, made the journey smooth and safe. Stonehenge is a must-see. Bath is absolutely stunning. I would also recommend Shakespeare’s Schoolroom, especially for families with children. The drive through the Cotswolds was gorgeous, the only downside was that we didn’t stop there for photos.

Great experience - Rowan the guide is fantastic. Knowledgeable and fun. It’s a one day tour. The ride to get there is about 2 hours, hopping between 3 villages about 15 minutes apart. The villages filled with bakeries and gift shops. Love the dynamic and views. Would definitely recommend. If I can, I would track Rowan and follow her next tours.
