James was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He was funny at telling his stories. Courtney the driver was great! Cotswolds are beautiful and Oxford was a nice walking city with the 41 colleges. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Heloise_W

The latest little village of Burford. We had a delicious meal and enjoyed the shops. We found the people charming and our guide was knowledgable.

Michelle_C

Had a great time today and lucked out with beautiful weather! James our guide and Courtly the bus driver were great. James was very knowledgeable and gave us perfect recommendations and suggestions in Bibury, Burford and Oxford. Definitely could have spent longer in Oxford to visit some of the colleges.

Elyssa H

This tour was amazing! James was lovely and extremely knowledgeable. Very easy to find the meeting point, stopped along the way for toilet break and to get snacks. Would recommend to anyone!

Geoff_D

The villages of Bibury and Burford are just beautiful and there's even more to Oxford than we'd imagined. Our guide (James) and driver (Courtley) were second to none .... both superb.

Nikolina_J

Knowledgeable and nice guide (James) with a good driver (Dan) made the trip a delight! Would recommend!

Nikhil_P

Unfortunately I cannot remember the names of the driver and guide, I think the guide’s name was James and the driver’s name was Courtly but I may be wrong. Me and my friends had a wonderful time of this tour and the guide sure knew everything about where we went. He gave us excellent recommendations whilst in Oxford and was very entertaining and enthusiastic about what he was telling us about.

Totally recommended! We couldn't be more pleased. Both Mr. Oscar, our guide, and Mr. Malcom, the bus driver, made an excellent job. The tour was very complete and we received great guidance and polite treatment (and a very good lunch box, as well).

Oxford was the best part and I wish I had chosen an Oxford only tour. bibury was a tourist only 'take a picture and move on' kind of place and beauties was a silly tourist trap, nothing to write home about. The guide James was EXCELLENT , we had a 1 hour tour in Oxford and he is very knowledgeable
