Oscar is the worst tour guide

1.00I was very unlucky to had Oscar as the tour guide. He was incapable to handle the problem on the coach properly. That made my visiting became unpleasant. I’m truly unsatisfied with his lack of professional skills
Great day!

5.00We had the tour to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Cotswold and Oxford. Our tourguide Oliver was experienced and knew a lot. I got all the answers on my questions. He was funny and quit an actor. The driver Noel was quiet and serieus. Didn't take any risks on the road. We loved the tour and recommend any one to go with Golden Tours. It's good organized. Ps.... we very much liked our lunch packet with falafel and veggies.
Wonderful tour, excellent guide Oliver and driver Noel

5.00We had a lovely full day tour with our guide Oliver and driver Noel. Great commentary and beautiful stops with enough silence in between to be relaxing - - it suited us perfectly. Oliver was so helpful and even found us a phone charger. We had previously done another day trip with a different operator and the guide and experience were not nearly as good! Book this experience if you want a chill full day with beautiful sights and countryside with expert guidance and safe, prompt driving!
Great tour!

5.00I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Golden Tours, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire trip was well-organized, comfortable, and thoroughly enjoyable. A special mention must go to our tour guide, Oliver, who was absolutely excellent. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and friendly approach made the journey both informative and engaging. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt included and had a great time. I would also like to commend our coach driver, Noel, whose professionalism and skill made the smooth and stress-free. His driving was safe and reliable throughout, which added greatly to the overall comfort of the trip. Thanks to such a fantastic team, this experience truly stood out. I would highly recommend Golden Tours to anyone looking to book a memorable and well-managed triOS.
Fabulous trip with guide Oliver

4.00It was a great tour. Personally it was enough time in all places. I believe the mention about Cotswolds shouldn’t be in as we only drove through and never made a stop there. Oliver and Noel were great!
Great trip!

5.00Josh and Reg were amazing. Everything was perfect, very punctual and informativo. Josh's bilingual abilities as a guide in both Spanish and English is incredible. I do recommend this trip with these two guys.
Informative and Entertaining.

5.00A great tour. Alvio was an excellent driver and Oliver was very entertaining and informative as a tour guide. Lots of fun and just the right amount of talking and letting us rest. Oliver is so theatrical and uses his dry sense of humour to great effect.
