Trip to Cotswolds - Beautiful "chocolate box" style villages. We visited 3 villages and took lots of photos. Robert the guide was full of information about the history of the area. It was an ideal end to our holiday in the London area as it was so leisurely.

Wonderful Tour of the Cotswolds! - In the worst rainy weather today, typical for London, we took a Cotswolds tour. our tour guide was Rowen and our driver was Ali. Despite the weather the trip was delightful. Rowan gave us lots of information and amusing stories and Ali drove down small roads and maneuvered the bus in ways we marveled over. I will recommend this Tour to everyone I know! Highly recommended!!

The Andy and Paul Show - Andy Jackson is amazing!! We had the most amazing day with Andy who is beyond knowledgeable! The amount of passion Andy has for his job is second to none and it was a true blessing to have him as our tour guide for this trip on our honeymoon. Also a special shout out to Paul the driver who doesn’t muck about …expert navigation and a lovely bloke to boot

Would not recommend - I went on Cotswold small tour on May 19. Our tour guide Angela was excellent. However villages are overcrowded with tourists. I was also disappointed with Evan Evan’s tour agency. I left accidentally my belongings in the bus ( which was completely my fault), contacted the agency several times, but the agency did not try to help to solve the matter

Beautiful scenery but average tour company - The Cotswolds is without question beautiful and the villages are charming however we were disappointed in the tour namely because of our tour guide. He was simply disinterested. There was so much more he could have done to make the trip more enjoyable but he preferred to just plug us into wifi and let us be for a 5 hour round trip bus ride. I do not think he was very knowledgeable about the area and if he was, he certainly did not share it in a memorable fashion. He told us the origin of some sayings and some history of England rulers but no details or history about the buildings, hotels, shops, plants, or churches in the small villages we were visiting. He was condescending and told me he had more important things to worry about when I asked him if he knew the name of a particular tree that seemed popular in the area. It was fine he did not know the tree name but his response was unacceptable. Maybe the tour would be different with a better guide. The tour agency was Evan Evans and they did not provide any little extras compared to other small bus tour companies in the London. I would think twice before taking another tour with Evan Evans.
