Great private tour with Will to Oxford and the Cotswolds! - We had an outstanding tour with Will to Oxford and the Cotswolds. The drive was very comfortable and enjoyable, and Will takes great care of you and shares great knowledge every step of the way. With a private tour with Will, we saw far more than we could ever see on our own or with a tour group and got off the beaten path to see so many interesting and amazing villages. Greatly enjoyed and highly recommend!

Worth the Time - Relaxing and easy going tour with overnight in Cotswalds. Tailored Tours set it up and we followed. If you have seen LONDON this is a nice change. Enjoyable pub stops beautiful countryside.

Peter made our day! - We had a wonderful day with Peter! We 1st went to Oxford. We could have easily spent 2 days in Oxford! The shops were wonderful but we really didn't have time to visit many....had I to do it again, we would do a whole day there. Peter got us the most bang for the back in our time there. We loved the Cotswold villages. We could have spent a day there easily. Peter was fantastic and we would definitely use him again!

Bath walking tour - Incredible tour provided by local volunteer. Very knowledgeable. Walk is about 3miles on various services but well worth the effort. This is a must when visiting Bath!

Wonderful Tour - This was a fabulous job and Christian was a wonderful tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and elevated the experience by sharing the history and stories of the area. We especially appreciated his recommendation for a snack and for lunch. His friendly personality enabled us all to feel relaxed and entertained. We were 3 generations- ages 72 to 13 and we all enjoyed our tour. Thanks so much!

Wonderful Day Trip with Tailored Tours - Our tour was provided by Tailored Tours, and our guide Oz was very punctual, knowledgeable, friendly, and a safe driver. We toured Oxford and the Cotswolds. Oz is a history major and provided us with a wealth of knowledge pertaining to our tour sites. My wife and I have done about 20 day tours and Oz was definitely one of the best guides we have ever had. I highly recommend using Tailored Tours.

Great daytrip from London. - We had an excellent trip. Our tour guide Oz was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a beautiful day, a good balance between walking and driving. Very flexible with the time we stopped at each destination. We shopped and ate and toured, it was one of the best days of our vacation. I look forward to touring with Oz again when we return to England.

Best company/Guide tour - The tour was fantastic, Christian our guide was simply brilliant. Christian was kind, funny, smart and an excellent tour guide, he went in depth on all subjects explored. We got a wonderful tour and historical knowledge on Oxford and then went on to learn about the Cotswalds. Christian was an excellent guide and I will absolutely be taking another tour with tailored tours. 10/10 stars.
