We had a great experience with Beth at the drive. She is an excellent driver, with an open attitude to let you enjoy the wonderful trip to Bethleheim palace and the Costwolds. She made the reservation to an excellent restaurant and took us to visit a beautiful church and the ruins of a medieval castle

A welcome change to the up-and-at-‘em routine of touring in London, Beth’s tour gave us an opportunity to relax and to take in the natural beauty of the English countryside and of some of the small, self-contained towns and hamlets that make up this lovely area. And not all the delights were visual: at her suggestion we enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast at the Bay Tree Hotel in Burford and had the opportunity afterward to explore by foot and by car. First, though, came our visit to magnificent Blenheim Palace (family home to and accidental birthplace of Winston Churchill) in Woodstock. Fascinating for its history, design, grandeur, gardens, and art (including a number of pieces by Churchill himself), we could easily have enjoyed twice the time we spent. We were very happy to be working with Beth. She’s friendly, informative, flexible, a pleasure to ride with and be guided by. We agreed to all her recommendations and were glad we did. (And, last but not least for those like us, unused to British rules of the road, Beth’s a VERY good driver.) Although we can only vouch for this one, we're sure Beth brings the same qualities to all her tours. We highly recommend both.

Beth Tes of Majestic Voyages was terrific! She went the extra mile, literally—taking us through the Cotswold countryside for our return journey, even stopping on country lanes for photos. She made lunch reservations for us at the Bay Tree Inn, where we had a leisurely meal on their beautiful terrace. We had their Pork chop with romesco sauce and an especially delicious fish & chips. Beth is very easy-going, friendly and has all the up-to-the minute travel tips. We highly recommend her travel guide services!

Beth is an amazing tour guide, warm, polite and punctual. We loved chatting with her and appreciated her knowledge of the area. She set up luch a aloveely restaurant and we had time for shopping afterwards. We highly recommend Beth! Blenheim Palace is an incredible location and filled with history. and art. The included audio tour was a great addition to our tour. Everyone at the palace was helpful and professional.
