This tour was everything! Graham was our tour guide and we could not ask for someone more accommodating, knowledgeable and kind. He was an expert with fun facts and stories! We enjoyed every bit of our tour with him. Would recommend him to anyone!!!

What a great trip! Eddie was courteous, very informative, and put our wants first. Ask for him, he helped make our day special.

We took this private tour thru London Country Tours. The driver (Darius) was excellent and very flexible to adjust our route to visit villages suited to our interest and time. Darius ensured that we had a fantastic trip. The country side views were just as interesting as the villages visited. I'd highly recommend this tour operator to anyone. If you have 4+ people, this private tour is a great alternative to other companies' group tours as it becomes more economical and far more flexibility in time you want to spend at desired villages. We got picked up / dropped off at our London Airbnb.

The tour guide we had David, was just incredible!! I’d highly recommend him for any private tours if anyone in the area is ever looking, especially the Cotswolds

With our licensed private driver cum guide Jacob, we easily skipped the hassles of left-side driving during our 10-hour adventure private tour to Cotswolds and Stratford upon Avon. We gladly explored the countryside hamlets around the Cotswolds Way to Stratford upon Avon, the home of William Shakespeare. We cherished all the prime Shakespearean sights here while having snacks in between. Jacob offered us personalized pick-up and drop-off from the station and hotel in a luxury car with Onboard Wi-Fi! Kudos to London Country Tours!!

Upon searching for tours, we came across London Country Tours. Grateful we did! We contacted David with some questions and received a very quick response. We decided on the private tour to the Cotswolds and a private driver/tour to Windsor Castle and Stonehenge. While we booked tickets for the sites independently, David assisted with times. He also secured airport transfers for us, which was appreciated. Our tour driver/guide, Steve, was truly amazing. While it was not listed as a guided tour, Steve went above and beyond to ensure we visited the most beautiful places in the Cotswolds. In addition, he shared interesting facts and stories as only a local could. He kept us intrigued the entire trip. Steve was professional and courteous yet extremely "cheeky" which we sincerely appreciated. By the end of our two days together, Steve felt like an extension of our family. Again, we are truly grateful for the memorable experiences he provided. Mo, who provided our airport transfers, was professional, courteous and prompt. We appreciated his great service. Thank you, David. We look forward to our next visit and touring with your company again.

What an amazing time we had with London Country Tours, from start to finish it was everything we expected, they did not disappoint! Let me start by saying we read all the reviews and descriptions of all the tours offered. We knew exactly what was included and what was not included in the pricing. We knew we had to purchase our admission tickets in advance. David was excellent from the first moment we contacted him. He worked with us to design the perfect itinerary, from suggesting the time slots for the tickets to adding in a special location my nephew wanted to visit. It truly was a joy working with David to get the perfect tour booked. We loved the hotel pickup and drop off, it was so convenient especially after a long day. Our driver Steve met us promptly at 8am. He was friendly, welcoming and was as excited about the day as we were. We had my two nephews with us (17 &20 years of age) Steve made the trip so fun for them! He took time to get to know them. Throughout the day he would talk to them about sports or events that interested them. They especially enjoyed the trivia games Steve would engage in with us. Asking us questions and we would all compete to get the correct answer. The boys really enjoyed that and it provided for many laughs and great memories. You just could not get that personalized treatment on a large tour bus. Steve went out of his way to make the educational part of the trip fun for them. Steve was excellent, safe, fun, engaging and provided the perfect amount of commentary and knowledge. We knew we had a packed day we hoped to see 7 places. Steve made sure we got to see everything on our list. He even took us to some special spots to take a few memorable photos. I could go on and on about how perfect this tour company is. We were well aware that they did not go into the locations with us, they were clear as to meeting and pick up locations in each town. We were in constant contact with Steve through texts at every location we visited. At one point we wanted a bit more time in a location and Steve took care of calling the next location to move our admission ticket to a later time so we could accommodate all of the locations on our list. This company and the guide truly will do whatever they can to make sure you get the experience you wanted. At least that was our experience, we could not have been happier. We booked two tours and we were thrilled to find out that Steve would be our guide for the second tour two days later. We so enjoyed spending our first tour day with Steve. At the end of the day we felt like we had a new cousin, it was just so comfortable and fun. David responded to all our inquiries in a timely manner it made for an easy, enjoyable tour planning experience. I even mentioned to David that we needed to arrange a transfer from the airport to our hotel and then a return back to the airport at the end of our trip...David even assisted me with setting that up. Honestly they above and beyond making sure we were taken care of from the moment we arrived in England. We can't thank them enough and we look forward to using them again on our next visit to England.

My husband and I took a day trip to the Cotswolds and despite not knowing exactly where I wanted to go, Steve read my mind. We visited Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, The Slaughters and Stow-on -the Wold....each one more charming and quaint than the last. A delicious lunch was at The Porch House...an ancient Pub that Steve recommended. We finished the day at the Cotswolds Lavender Farm and relaxed as we drove back to London. Very responsive, excellent service, great suggestions on where to go....Steve even managed to get us perfect weather!! Highly recommend!!

Road tripping through Buckinghsmshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire gave me a taste of the English countryside. Visiting Burford, Bourton on the Water, Lower Slaughter, Stow on the Wold, Broadway and Bibury gave me the opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful towns and villages in the Cotswalds. Stratford Upon Avon wasn’t impressive. although Anne Hathaways house is lovely. Eddie is knowledgeable and personable and went out of his way to ensure it was a full day. We even went on a bit of a wild goose chase in Evesham. Note to newbies: you have to pay to go to the public toilets. And despite paying for the privilege, they are disgusting.
