Our tour guide/drive, Claire, was amazing! She was so informative throughout the trip and had a wonderful sense of humor. Every stop in the Cotswolds was beautiful. It was a great experience with plenty of time to get to see everything.

Highlight of our Cotswold tour was the magnanimous and irreplaceable Len our guide whose wit and knowledge of British history knew no bounds. What a gentleman and perfect host and historian for the day! Len took the more scenic route to point out the coloring of the sheep and their significance (it involves activities of the adult variety) all stories that had us nearing rolling in the aisle laughing. Len’s attentive driving made us feel safe to enjoy The picturesque scenery including babbling brooks which seem endless and we concluded the day’s magical adventures in front of Tolkien’s inspiration for The Hobbit — a door to which held the true secret to the mysteries of life. Hurry do not waste a second more and book this tour with Len who will bring the magic of The Cotswold to live in your own memories for a lifetime. Love from San Francisco!

Jamie our driver was excellent! Made us feel safe on those busy one lane roads. The tour was great because they only tell you about the towns on your way there, then you are on your own for around an hour, except for lunch in Bourton Ion the Water you get 1.5 hours. Go to the Fish &Chips place for the best Fish ever! A beautiful day. Recommend this to get a flavor of the countryside and the Cotswolds. P.s. in April, dress warmly and bring an umbrella. It was mid 40s f and rainy all day.
