What To Expect
Oxford
Your first stop is Oxford, where you have time to explore the precincts of the many colleges, climb one of the vantage points to take in the skyline, or see the art and antiquities collections in the Ashmolean Museum. The choice is yours. This route may be reversed on some occasions.
Burford
Our next stop is in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. It’s a small market town with enormous character and a huge history. The main street is lined with gorgeously quaint cottages and properties. You have time here to take in the local charm and hospitality; and if you’re hungry, you can try a traditional English ‘Afternoon Tea’. This route may be reversed on some occasions.

5.00Well organized, interesting stops, fun guide, there were no issues. Keep in mind you see the places on your own, the guide stays with the van.

5.00I really liked this tour. The guide gave us a map to facilitate the route through Oxford and was very helpful. Burford is a very pretty village, has a church that looks like a movie scene and several shops. Bibury is the most picturesque place I've ever been to, beautiful! I wish I had more time in each place, but for those who do not have so many days in London, it is the best way to get to know the whole.
The worst day tour that I have had so far.

1.00This is the worst day tour that I have had so far, the service was so poor, the driver also as tour guide just introduced a little bit about the tour, the rest of the time just broadcast music, it was all self guided tour with a map in Oxford, and they overcharged me nearly $200 Australian dollars and refused to refund me. Plus the car was so old and dirty, will never book this company again. Very bad luck.
Beautiful destinations but tour too short to appreciate them

3.00Oxford exceeded expectations and deserved more time to explore. This tour should leave an hour or two earlier to allow for that. It was way too rushed to see much. Same with Burford. We barely had time to walk to the end of the street and grab a snack before having to get back in the coach. There wasn't much to see in Bibury, so 20 minutes was fine. I've gone on many tours and this one was just too rushed to be able to truly appreciate the destinations.
A nice way of expending a day in England

5.00It was an absolutely incredible experience. We visited Bilbury, Burton and Oxford. All these places are gems especially Oxford and definitely deserve a full day to explore. The trip was very well planned. The check in was smooth. Our guide and driver Lalji was a super friendly, witty and knowledgeable person who shared valuable and interesting info about London and it's history. He was an expert driver as well and maneuvered expertly through the tricky roads. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Rabbie ad would highly recommend this tour and Lalji as your guide.
Knowledgeable driver, nicely paced
