Gorgeous day in the countryside

5.00Had a wonderful time! It was a great day and escape from the city. We went four people on our family europe trip. Miguel was hilarious and Steve was so nice and informative. His passion for history was clear. Only thing was that the Cotswolds are very hilly so takes some getting used to for people who aren’t accustomed to a bumpy ride. But was a wonderful trip and I recommend.

5.00Alan was a spectacular guide…very funny, entertaining & informative. Had incredible tea & goodies at Hobsons in Stratford-on-Avon, enjoyed steak & stilton pie at the butcher on the Main Street in Burford, plus good coffee at Thyme & Lovage. In Oxford, finished the day with some very good Japanese at a cozy spot right by The Eagle & Child. Enjoyable walks in all three locations. Great tour!

5.00James was an amazing guide! We cannot recommend him enough and if you are so lucky to have him just know you are in great hands. We unfortunately ran into some issues with the trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon due to a disagreement with the driver about the best route which resulted in a 2 hour delay… but James made the best of it and the day was so enjoyable. He found out how much I love books and made sure to point out extra locations and facts in Oxford.
History at it's best!

4.00James was amazing. He was so informative and polite. Made sure everyone was taken care of. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. Our driver, Abbas, scared me to death with his driving skills. Can't recommend him as a tour driver again. However, even with the driving issues, had an amazing tour!!!! James is a rock star!!!
