5.00I visited Devon and Cornwall with Go Tours in October 2025. From the beginning of the tour in London our driver and guide Dave was entertaining and informative as well a very safe driver. I was on the last tour for the year and weather was quite changeable but did not hamper the trip. Dave managed to work around the weather we saw everything that was promised with a few extras thrown in Dave went above and beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Go Tours
Cancelled without notice

1.00On the day of the tour, I went to the meeting place. However, even after the scheduled meeting time had passed, no one from the tour showed up. When I called the phone number listed and provided my booking number, I was told that they did not know anything about it. When I called Viator, the booking site, to check, they informed me that this tour had been canceled and that I would receive a full cash refund. Even though I had received confirmation of my booking, why was there no notification that the tour would be canceled? Why was I not informed of the details using the phone number listed on the tour voucher? My 5-day itinerary was ruined. I had to book a hotel for that day and rearrange the subsequent plans. I also received an email from Viator, which read as follows: "Unfortunately this tour is not taking place this week and this booking was taken in error through your 3rd-party seller. Apologies for any disappointment & concern caused." An international call from the UK to Viator in the US cost about 5,000 yen. It was disappointing that I couldn't take the trip to England that I had hoped for.
Great Experience - Highly Recommend!

5.00The tour exceeded out expectations. Robbie was the absolute best guide. His knowledge about the area was outstanding and his quick wit was delightful. We highly recommend the tour! If you wish to enjoy the beautiful English Countryside without the stress of driving through small streets on the "wrong side of the road" then this tour is for you. Due to the end of season our group was small and everyone got along well.
Fantastic Tour

5.00Our tour was well planned and executed by our guide, Len, who was very knowledgeable and had a very engaging sense of humor. We couldn’t think of a better way to see this beautiful corner of Great Britain.

5.00We took the tour to start off a two week stay in both England and in Ireland. Our guide for the C&C portion was informative and even sang us one of his songs. It was a nice mashup of travellers: 2 Australians, 1 Ukrainian and 5 were Canadians 🙂.. because the van was not full we have plenty of space to spread out. It was a nicely paced tour visiting many beautiful spots. We would use them again.
Excellent small group tour of Cornwall

5.00Len was our driver and guide for the 5 day Cornwall and Cotswolds tour. We were so lucky to have Len who was such an informative, professional and fun guide. He made the trip extra special for us with his stories of myths, legends and historical events which captured every one’s attention and laughter. Each day was full of great and charming places to visit and the pace of the tour was well balanced and organised. The van was very comfortable with USB charging ports and the B&B accommodation options were good with hearty breakfasts offered. I was very impressed with Go Tours and have also booked a day trip. Highly recommend. Thanks Len !
A great tour of Cornwall & the Cotswolds with GoTours

5.00This was hands-down one of the best tours I've ever taken! I've longed to explore Cornwall for years, and GoTours UK was absolutely THE choice for the trip - a dream! Len, our bus driver & guide, was genial, patient, knowledgeable, and went out of his way to give us extra photo ops - besides being an excellent driver! The small bus gave us access through the countryside not possible with a large vehicle. Our multi-national group was upbeat, curious and fun. Plus we were blessed with sunny days! I felt the time allowed at each of the many locations was just about right, with the exception of Stonehenge. My suggestion for Stonehenge would be to include it in the pre-tour ticket purchases. We stood on line a solid half hour to purchase tickets, which greatly shortened the overall visit to such a vital historical site. I loved this Cornwall, Dorset, Devon, Cotswold tour with Go Tours UK, and highly recommend it! It was truly a dream - I never imagined it would be this wonderful!
Best British tour and tour company ever!

5.00We had a fantastic time on this five day tour! Our guide, Christian, was incredibly kind, fun, helpful and informative, we could not imagine a better possible guide/driver! And, we went to the most amazing places-- every single city or village, park, historical site, or church we visited was gorgeous, the hotels we stayed at were wonderful, we were incredibly blessed also to have great weather the whole time! So, this long-awaited trip was a dream come true, and we will definitely use Go-Tours UK again in the future, hope to do their Wales tour next year! Fantastic trip, wonderful company, a terrific experience all around!
Very enjoyable will travel again with Go-Tours
