It’s not a tour, it’s a transportation

1.00This is not a tour, it is just transportation from London to those places, the driver didn’t explain nothing, you have to be more specific in the description
Great day out of the big city

5.00It is a long day with a lot of driving but Ahmed was a great driver and filled the time with interesting facts and stories. I would definitely recommend this trip to see the country side outside of the city.
Absolutely Fantastic

1.00This was booked as a private tour with car driver and guide. Got a car and driver. Highclere Castle inside tour was substituted for Windsor. Castle was closed to inside tour. Driver called to confirm we could get pictures outside castle. Drove 2 hours to castle to find out ground were closed as well. Total waste of time. Arrived Oxford for tour of town and colleges. Driver dropped us off on a side street where some freelance "guide" was talking to a group of 50+ people. We were told we should join that herd. The "guide" took us to a couple of libraries (not part of college), some old buildings etc., but never got into any of the colleges. THIS IS NOT A PRIVATE TOUR AND NOT WHAT I PAID FOR. Total waste of time. We next went to Cotswold where we saw some more old buildings. Didn't know the significance of what we were seeing since WE DIDN'T HAVE A GUIDE. Not worth the trip. I specifically worked with a Viator order taker to craft this tour and to insure the driver of our private car was also a guide or a guide would also accompany us. The order taker assured me all would be provided. It did not happen. If I wanted a private car and driver, I could have gotten both many other places and for considerably less money. Viator needs to learn what a PRIVATE TOUR looks like. Clearly this wasn't one.
Ask for Ahmed!
