Cotswolds and Oxfor led tour a delight - Excellent tour thanks to driver and guide to the Cotswolds and Oxford. Love it when the guide imparts pearls of wisdom such as where ‘I have a frog in my throat’ comes from. The weather was good for a change and all went well.

Worth visiting - It was a great trip despite a rainy day. Picturesque English Cotsvolt villages and preserved nature are worth seeing. Our guide James was great. He talked a lot about the area of OUV and gave us nice and informative guided tour around central Oxford. No one should miss to visit Ashmolean museum in Oxford and to try fish&chips in Bourton-on-the-water. Drive was pleasant and safe thanks to driver Ben and comfortable bus.

Great day trip out of London - James, or tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The ride was very comfortable. Bilbury and Oxford were a must see. Burton on the water was very touristy. If I had the choice I would not have stopped there and spent more time in Oxford. Overall it was a great time and I’d highly recommend.

Overall positive experience - Sufficient effort by guide to engage tourists. Cotswolds portion (1.5 hrs) could be a tad longer considering 3 hrs allocated to Oxford. Guide could give reminders to the group about eating etiquette within the coach. Specifically, the passenger seated behind me on the coach kept eating all sorts of hot food (including soup) which foul the air within the moving coach.

Wish this tour was a little different - This was a nice trip. My daughter and I enjoyed our time. Our driver Darren was very nice and informative. Our guide James was wonderful. My rating of this doesn’t really apply to them. Overall, we LOVED our time in the Cotswolds. If I could change one thing about this tour, it would be to have more time in the Cotswolds and less time at Oxford. The walking tour we did with James at Oxford was great. If it ended there, we would have been very happy. We did not need the extra hour and a half to explore on our own. The places I would have loved to have had that extra time would have been Bourton on the Water or gone to another town/village in the Cotswolds. The worst part about our tour was that we were in a smaller bus (big enough for 18ish people). A woman on our tour was openly coughing without covering her mouth at all, literally every 2 min. We had no choice but to sit one row away from her and the coughing was relentless, all over the bus. She NEVER stopped. She should have been asked to leave as her cough was very noticeable before we even got on the bus. We were the last pickup. I don’t know if there should be a health screen required but if people sound audibly sick on a bus that isn’t very big or ventilated, they should either be handed a mask or asked to do the tour another day when they are feeling better. I don’t appreciate feeling forced to be around someone like this so closely, when the last thing I want to do when I am on vacation is get sick because someone can’t give the common courtesy to cancel a tour if they aren’t feeling well, least of all have the courtesy to cover her mouth when coughing. This ruined our experience on this tour.

Unprofessional - We had confirmed booking with voucher and everything and reached at the picking stop well in time. Tour operator didn't have our names on his list and denied us boarding. I was traveling with my old parents, took day off, started early morning and the whole experience of speaking with Viator customer service, to the tour operator was exhausting. It was very unprofessional.
