Isobel and David were very warm and personable! Isobel was an extremely knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot about the history of the Cotswolds and other bits of history along the trip. I loved my trip!

This tour far exceeded our expectations. We were in a comfortable minivan/bus with about 10 other people. The entire tour, our guide Sean entertained us with fascinating history, facts, and anecdotes about the Cotswolds. He readily answered questions and welcomed our participation in the tour.
We were especially pleased that most villages we visited were off the beaten path, so that we could explore without fighting our way through crowds. That's because the large commercial tour buses couldn't take the narrow roads that our nimble little van could. The villages were charming and the views of the countryside along the way were breathtakingly beautiful. The trip was fun because we could sit back, enjoy the scenery and the conversation, without worrying about driving or navigating our way around the winding, narrow, hilly roads.
The guides had our comfort in mind, they had bottled water and knew where the rest stops were to be found in each village, and even had on hand the 20 pence needed to get into some of the pay toilets.
This tour is a great value for your money and an experience you won't want to miss if you are interested in seeing the Cotswolds. There's no way you could have such a high quality, enjoyable and educational experience on a large commercial bus tour or driving through the area yourself.

This was a fantastic all-day tour around the Cotswolds. Isobel shared interesting information all along the way, and David was a pro at navigating the van along those narrow Cotswold lanes! I appreciated that there was plenty of time at all the stops, and that they had guests rotate seats in the van so that everyone had a different perspectives and no one was crammed in the back the whole time :)

Our guide, Isabella was very knowledgeable. We were taken to villages out of the way, which made for an amazing experience.

I enjoyed seeing the countryside, the little villages, and Sidley Castle. I recommend this tour for someone who wants to see a bit of the Cotswolds.

This tour from Oxford was the highlight of our England trip! Our guide's knowledge and friendly charm brought the region's history and hidden corners to life. We explored iconic villages alongside delightful off-the-beaten-path gems, all within a perfect timeframe. There was enough time to make a few stops to have coffee/snacks and lunch in different places. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a comprehensive Cotswolds experience from Oxford, and be back in time for dinner!

The selection of villages that we visited were carefully curated, with Isobel and David being very knowledgeable and helpful. You don’t feel on a tour at all, as tours don’t get to the spots we got to visit. Strongly suggest this tour to everyone!

This was an absolute highlight of our trip! The couple that runs this are first rate all the way. So many fascinating tidbits of information, coupled with fabulous, quaint English scenery and sights. The villages that are highlighted are every bit what you'd hope to find in the English countryside and we really enjoyed ourselves. I can't recommend this enough!!!
