Kerry took care of us well. We had a good time making memories and enjoying all those scenic sights and stories in a safe manner. 😁

This tour was everything we could have asked for. We had one day to do a tour of the Cotswolds, and Kerry worked with us directly to build an an itinerary that fit our interests and our time frame. She listened to our ideas and worked them into her knowledge of the area to create a great experience. Her vehicle was comfortable. She gave us sufficient time at the various stops. It was like having a third friend on board. Highly recommend this tour option.

My tour with Kerry in August 2023 was really wonderful! Communication with Kerry before the tour was excellent and she tailored my tour in accordance with my interests. I loved seeing all of the places we visited. Kerry drove well and shared lots of interesting information about the places we saw. I highly recommend this tour.

Kerry worked with us to customize a full-day tour from Bath, including visits to Wells Cathedral, Glastonbury, Avebury, and Lacock, and incorporate beautiful drives through the English countryside, with views of the chalk hill horses. She was well-prepared, having done her research thoroughly, managed our time constraints graciously, and was flexible throughout the day. It was as if we were being guided by a knowledgeable and charming family member. Each of our six group members (from three different generations) fully enjoyed our time together with Kerry. Definitely a highlight of our trip to England. .

Io e la mia ragazza dopo un'attenta ricerca sul web durata un paio di giorni abbiamo prenotato un tour privato con Old Bury Tours e se siamo rimasti davvero molto contenti e soddisfatti di questa scelta. In 5 ore e mezzo abbiamo visitato Stonehenge e successivamente 2 villaggi inglesi incantevoli (Lacock e Castlecombe). Kerry che ci ha accompagnato in questi posti è stata molto cordiale e simpatica. Lo stesso possiamo dire di Lawrence con il quale abbiamo scambiato diverse email per accordarci sul tour e ci ha consigliato dove prenotare i biglietti di Stonehenge.
