5.00Iggy, our driver was a very good guide with a ton of knowledge about Oxford and the Cotswald area. He kept us entertained during the longer drives and played music from the area along the way. My wife and I enjoyed the trip and Iggy is a great representative of Rabbies tours!
Comfortable transport

4.00Comfortable bus and nice driver. I thought I was signing up for a guided tour but it was transport with a paper map of Oxford for a self-guided tour then to two small towns in the Cottswalds with a few historical or interesting things related during the drive between places. In my case, I would have enjoyed just taking a bus or train on my own and not being on a set schedule but good for what it was.
Our tour guide was very...

More of a driver than a guide

3.00The tour guide was a driver rather than a real tour guide. She also couldn't set the right temperature on the bus. We've all been terribly cold. Although she did her best, she was not technically adept. She also shared the same stories as our tour guide from the day before. In this respect, the tour was not particularly exciting for me.
Fantastic day out!

5.00This was a fabulous day. Our guide Tom, was one of the best we have encountered! We had a great 3 hours in Oxford and Tom gave us a great map which listed the top things to go to. He drops and picks you up right in the city which was very good. His knowledge of the Cotswold area was impressive and we had nearly 1 hour in two villages. The minibus is comfortable and Tom’s music selection was great. We will always remember this tour!
Lovely stay in Bristol.

History and beautiful landscapes

5.00Full-day trip to Stonehenge and Cotswolds, was definitely worth the trip. Stonehenge is incredibly interesting with everything they know and don't know about these stone information. The Cotswolds area with its small old villages that have barely changed in several hundred years, located scattered around in this beautiful and charming landscape, became a great experience. Alex our friendly guide, had a lot of knowledge and many stories to tell, which he also connected to different music/songs. A trip I can definitely recommend.
Provides the right amount...

5.00Small group of up to 16 in a comfortable van/bus. Windows were very large allowing great views as we traveled. 2 1/2 hrs in Oxford with a helpful walking map, then approximately an hour each in the two Cotswold villages we visited which was plenty. Iggy, our driver and host was very knowledgeable and had interesting stories in a laid back manner.
Very nice experience....
