Ian was very easy and helpful to work with from the time we booked our reservation and making recommendations on the schedule based on our groups preferences. He met us at the Oxford train station since we were traveling from London for the day. He helped us have a smooth day from start to finish without the worries of renting a car. He had great historic information about each village and had great suggestions on places to get tea/ coffee and lunch. We saw four towns, side stops to see a rock circle, and Oxford. We travelled with two families with teens who all really enjoyed the tour. We would do again and recommend to anyone desiring a smaller guided tour.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and organized. We enjoyed the trip and loved the small villages she showed us. It was nice to avoid the hassle of big tour buses and travel by minivan.

danielcS3382UV

Absolutely wonderful tour along beautiful backroads and through gorgeous villages. Our guides were fun and knowledgeable and great story tellers. Being able to travel the backroads where huge bus tours cannot go was great. Time for photos, for food and tea stops, LOTS of pictures, it was just about as perfect a day as I could have hoped for!

We hadn’t realized that when we booked this tour that it was going to be such a small group (which was a lovely surprise). Driving through the countryside in a smaller van allowed us to go to places buses cannot go. Our guide JO was amazing and very informative. She even stopped for us to take photos at places not normally on the tour. The villages we went to were so beautiful. Would definitely recommend this tour.

This was such a great day trip from Oxford! Ian had some wonderful stories and history to share and the places we visited were charming. Great chances to take in the area without feeling rushed. A wonderful time and absolutely recommended!

michelines851

If you want to see the Cotswolds, this is the tour to take. The van is super comfortable. A small group, so it's personalized and you get to learn a little bit about the others on the trip. Jo, the tour guide was an absolute joy. Fun and knowledgeable. She shared a sorts of interesting information. Don't hesitate.

Jo was a wonderful and friendly guide! She was very knowledgeable and we could tell she loved giving tours! We had a memorable day in the Cotswolds!

What a wonderful day! Thank you to Ian for showing us all around The Cotswolds, even more beautiful than we imagined. All the thatched cottages, beautiful gardens and scenery. We loved all the bits of history and interesting stories that Ian shared with us as we went along. We mentioned that we really enjoyed Downton Abbey and Ian adjusted our day so we could fit in a visit to Bampton and see where much of the show was filmed. So amazing! I highly recommend this tour.

Thank you Ian first and foremost as we made preparations from the United States as first time visitors to England and my wife Linda’s longtime wish to visit the Cotswolds. You made it so easy to pick the right tour both scenery wise and affordable. The “Undiscovered Cotswolds” tour was made even more stupendous by Jo. Her passion, knowledge of every detail and warmth made for an unforgettable full day for my wife Linda and daughter Maria and myself. She exceeded all of our expectations on visiting this magical region called the Cotswolds.

Our group of four friends had a very memorable personalized tour. Jo was a wonderful guide and expert driver. A highlight was a visit to Hidcote Garden. Our group had really wanted to see a Cotswolds garden as part of the tour, and we were delighted with the choice Ian made for us. We saw some lovely places and beautiful scenery. The whole day was outstanding.
