We saw a lot of the Cotswold countryside during daylight which was beautiful and visited Oxford last with all the Christmas lights in. Our driver Andrew was great and very entertaining. We was a fantastic host for the day and we enjoyed the tour very much.

Very nice trip with Rabbie tour operator, they were very helpful, very much on time, and very properly managed. Overall it was a great trip, when they drop us in the city of Oxford, 2 hrs is not enough to have food and check around the place.

The trip was nice and the guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. We were more interested in Cotswolds than Oxford, the trip spends more time in Oxford. The bus was a bit too warm, for us. Bibury was a bit of a let-down and being late November, the sun was setting while we were there. Overall the tour was definitely worth the time and price.
Great excursion to the...

I 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.

This 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.
