5.00Christopher was fabulous! Absolutely the best experience ever. He took us to the most delicious and charming manor house for lunch. He was so accommodating in our photo stops and shopping excursions. Along the way he shared both personal and historical information about the land, villages and culture of the area.
Highly recommend this tour and it fits perfectly with a week in London to get out of the city for a day.

5.00What a fabulous day and experience! Christopher was awesome from before the trip, with communication and flexibility, to dropping off at a change of location due to timing - and everything in between. A perfect guide as he knew know how to balance our own chatter with his education and stories and incorporated our style and taste to a day of quintessential Cotswolds. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Christopher was authentically knowledgeable and passionate for the region and we learned so much!
Amazing cotswolds tour!

5.00We wanted to see the beautiful Cotswolds without the crowds from a group bus tour and were extremely pleased with our decision to take a private tour with Tour Britannia. Our driver/ tour guide , Christopher was professional, knowledgeable and friendly . He asked us what we were looking forward to seeing and brought us to all the villages we agreed upon as well as a special little gem . Christopher’s itinerary was organized and efficient . We had plenty of time to visit the villages and he made us a reservation for a lovely lunch at beautiful restaurant that was a former manor home. He mastered an excellent balance of explaining the sites while giving us time to experience the area on our own. Christoper was a safe driver and the vehicle was clean, comfortable and roomy. I was relieved that the vehicle did not have any noxious air fresheners like some others we have travelled in . Having a private driver afforded us the opportunity to see what we wanted on our time and we didn’t have to worry about parking which is limited in the Cotswolds. We were celebrating a special anniversary and are grateful that we chose this tour to make beautiful memories . We highly recommend this company for a safe, stress free and informative experience . Thank you , Shelley
