Perfect day but no good return point

5.00Very good day with 3 interesting places. However, it's not normal not to return to Victoria Bulleid Way. The bus dropped us off two miles further on, even though it was clearly stated that we would only stop at Gloucester Road if there was heavy traffic. But there really wasn't any congestion, and we even arrived at 6:40 PM. With Evan and Evans, there is not this problem !

4.00Oscar was awesome! Very knowledgeable . I wish there was more time to enjoy the cities of Stratford and Oxford, we had to rush through them . It would have been nice to include the tickets of Bodleian library-- because by the time we arrived, there were no tickets left in Oxford.
Great people and tour

Brilliant Tour

5.00I recently took the Oxford, Stratford, and Cotswolds tour, and despite the rain, it was an incredible experience! Our guide, Eileen, was absolutely fantastic—witty, engaging, and impressively knowledgeable. She made the history, architecture, and local stories come alive in a way that was both educational and genuinely entertaining. The tour lasted all day, and while the weather was a bit wet, it didn’t dampen the experience at all. If you enjoy a mix of history, culture, and a guide who keeps you laughing while you learn, this tour is a must. Rain or shine, it’s worth every moment! Last and not least, a thank you to our driver, Romeo for safety driving us on our trip.
Very interesting trip with a fantastic guide.

Get out of London and see the countryside

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. It included Oxford and the Cotswolds, plus added a couple stops that we weren’t originally looking to see, but were solid additions (Stratford Upon Avon and Warwick Castle.) Our guide, Kelvin, was full of energy, facts, and recommendations throughout the day. Our driver, Tyreece, was professional and one of the kindest drivers we’ve had on a tour. If these spots are on your list to see, it’s a great choice.
Great sites and great guides

5.00Excellent one-day tour. Warwick Castle was ancient and fascinating, Stratford-upon-Avon scenic, and Oxford steeped in tradition and books. The ten-hour length was just right for our family. Our driver, Mario, was very quiet and unassuming, and made us feel comfortable and safe. Our guide, Paulie, claimed to be a former schoolteacher, but we suspect he was secretly a stand-up comedian because he had us rolling in laughter with his dry British humor.
