Richard was absolutely amazing. Incredibly kind and patient. He took time to hear what I was looking forward to seeing and made sure I had a great opportunity to check the box. I really wanted to see a thatched roof home. Sounds silly, but it was big for me. He made sure I got to see a beautiful example :) He listened when I said I was excited to see the beauty and history and take photos. He even adjusted the stops when we saw how busy one location was, knowing that I was looking for a more peaceful and tranquil experience. He also was very easy to talk to and made me comfortable the entire day. I was able to tour the sites at my own leisure and felt completely safe and welcome as I traveled. He even made sure to point out a historic pub so that I could take time to eat somewhere historically significant. It was such a perfect day and I am so thankful that I chose Richard because he truly designed it around my individual desires. Totally worth the cost. Highly recommend. :) I know other travelers who used a less expensive option and did NOT have the same experience I did. I promise, completely worth it.

A lovely day trip visiting a variety of villages. Ample time to walk around, take photos, explore each village and grab a bite to eat. Richard was pleasant and well-versed on the history of the area, answering all of our many questions! A wonderful experience for our party of 4 and we will certainly recommend to others who are visiting Bath and area.

This excursion was the end of our journey and I can’t think of a better way to end this trip. It was a relaxing day and the views of the rolling landscape was spectacular. I loved the quintessential cottage charm. Great day, great driver (Rich)!

Had a great time visiting the Cotswolds with our guide Richard. The timing of the trip was perfect as we could spend as much as or little time as we liked at each stop. Richard was both friendly and informative.

Richard was our guide and he was very good. He took us to a lot of very adorable little Cotswold villages. He did give us some information about each village, but I always felt like I wish he had said more. He was very courteous and punctual.

It’s a nine hour day but well planned out and we had a lovely sampling of the Cotswolds. The stops and the timing were just right and our driver. Richard was a local and very knowledgeable and pleasant.

Great customized tour through the Cotwolds with a great driver Richard. Just enough information on each stop where we could take as much time as we needed in each town. Richard was great and patient with us :).

This was my first private tour, so I don’t have anything to compare it to. However, my friend and I had a great experience. We loved the structure of the tour, where there was ample time at all locations. Richard had great recommendations for each stop and was very knowledgeable due to him being a local to the area. Definitely would recommend if you want to explore the Cotswolds but don’t want to drive on the left side or deal with large tour groups.
