3.00It was canceled without notice and they sent me to the Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford one. I would have preferred more time in Stratford-upon-Avon. However, Apol and Elvio were excellent and I enjoyed myself.

1.00I’ve done the Cotswolds and or Stratford on Avon several times. Always enjoyed it immensely. This time, terrible. No advance notice of all the increased bus time due to increased traffic congestion, long walk from bus due to bus parking restrictions, eliminations of two towns on the Cotswold part of the tour. Bottom line if you want to spend forever on a bus or walking to or from a bus with minimal time at the attraction … go for it!
Excellent tour with Dan ....

4.00Wonderful guide and itinerary. Guide very knowledgeable. Mini bus was extremely uncomfortable for someone with long legs. Seats were too close together. 2 hour ride home was sheer torture.
