It was such a beautiful, perfect day. Nowhere else can you get a better impression of the legendary Cotswolds than with Ian. He knows the area like the back of his hand and has something to say about everything—whether it's historical background or legendary tales. It was a privilege to have taken this tour, and we can wholeheartedly recommend it. Thank you for everything, and best regards.
Best way to see the Cotswold. This was a fabulous day. Our guide was Ian and he was so knowledgeable and had some great stories. He gave great advice on what to see and recommendations for food options. We never felt rushed and loved that we went to villages not over run with tourists. Thoroughly recommend
We were lucky enough to go with Andrew, who was a funny, kind, and knowledgeable guide. He even dropped us closer to homes, which was greatly appreciated. This is basically a 7-8 hour tour with a max. size of 7, in which you see 4-5 stops - on all you will get the background and a (short) tour and on some you will have 15 min - 60 min of your own free time to roam, eat, shop, or do whatever you want. All in all, one of the best trips and tour guides I've had in a long time. You will NOT be disappointed - Cotswald is amazing! Thank you again, Andrew
I cannot recommend Ian’s tours enough. Started with a very easy pick up at Oxford station, then we headed into the Cotswolds. We had a great mix of time to explore ourselves, and group walks around the villages. Ian always had wonderful recommendations on what to see/try/eat. We also got to see a great blend of the more well known villages and the hidden gems. Having seen how others drive in the cotswolds, I was very glad to be in such skilled hands (and glad I wasn’t driving). Overall I cannot recommend these tours enough. I will be recommending to family and friends, and will be back for more.
The perfect way to experience the Cotswolds! Jo was such a friendly and informative guide, and our group was fun to chat with on the drive. We loved having a Cream Tea and the sights were incredible. Ten stars!
