Burford
Our next stop is in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. It’s a small market town with enormous character and a huge history.

A tour for people with limited time

5.00The ride to the destinations was smooth. The guide was great and gave us sufficient information. I used this tour as introductory to Oxford and Cotswold. It’s a point A to point B type of tour - you explore on your own once you reach each destination. I purchased a ticket for Christ Church Multimedia self guided tour before arriving London to ensure that I maximize my time in Oxford. After visiting Christ Church, I only had time for a quick lunch before going back to the bus. This tour is for people who want to see 2 places in a limited time.
Mistake in booking info/ from a lady who loves to travel
DonnaK S,Jun 8, 2026

5.00Your company made a really bad mistake in where to meet at Victoria station. On my booking, on all my info, it say 7. It was not 7 it was 3. We went around and around and asked so many bus drivers. There is no number 7. It goes from 1/5. There is a 7 stop on the entrance to the station, and we thought maybe that. I know computers make mistakes, but you should have picked this one up. We made it my the skin of our teeth. As it turns out at one point for we were just asking for 7, we ran into our bus driver, who was not by his bus, and he was so sweet saying maybe it was across the street. We were just about ready to give up, one more stab. A young black English man said go down the buses ask again. Our driver was waiting for us at 3. I always use your company for tours. I have recommended you anlways. If you look up on your record I called and your AI lady gave me info I had , she also wrote back 7. Our hotel would love to book the travel for us. I said no, I like the way you give me all the info. As you can see this was a very stressful 1/2 hour which I did not need. Donna K Stellini Ps Bus driver was wonderful and I loved the entire adventure. It would have made me very sad if I missed this beautiful countryside at my age of 86. Please let me know how this happened.
Wonderful Experience

5.00Our trip to the Cotswolds and Oxford on Sunday, May 24 was fabulous. I wish I remembered our drivers name because he was so informative and kind. He made the trip so enjoyable! Yes it is busy but skipping such a magical place would be a shame. The bus is cozy and well equipped (no bathroom fyi). It’s a great city escape and Rabbis does a fantastic job:)

Refund for 1 adult

1.00I was very disappointed that my 4-year-old daughter and I were not allowed to join the trip because of insurance issues. We were not clearly informed in advance, and I had to leave the bus while my daughter was left in tears. This was upsetting and avoidable, and I ask for a full explanation and a written apology along with a refund for 1 adult .
Perfect day!

5.00This tour was exactly what I expected but enhanced by Pete, our guide and driver. He was easy going, friendly, and truly gave us a great overview of everything.
Great itinerary. Great guide.

5.00The itinerary was great for a taste of Oxford and the Cotswalds. Mark was an excellent guide and narrator. He was very pleasant and informative . He was frequently interrupted by a faulty microphone connection but he dealt with it aptly and in good spirit. We would recommend him heartily.
Aileen was a great driver and guide!

5.00Aileen was outstanding. She was a terrific driver and informative guide. This small group tour is preferable to a large coach bus.
