I did a lot of research when picking a private tour company and went with this one because of the mix of well-known spots and off the beaten tiny villages you would never know about if you were on a big tour company. Prior to the trip, Lucy was so helpful navigating my train ride from London with the strikes and bridge closures. We did the Ultimate Cotswolds Tour (8 hrs) and loved it. The tour was seamless and every little detail was thought out including little maps at each village and even taking us to an extra spot because we had a little extra time. Richard is an excellent driver which is crucial navigating the backroads! read more

If you are looking for a great trip through the Cotswolds, look no further. We happened upon Cotswolds Guided Tours on Trip Advisor and are glad we did. Right from the get go Lucy was very helpful in getting our trip booked. She opened up a tour as they didn't have one scheduled. We were met by Richard in front of our hotel promptly at our meeting time. We had a total in our group of 7 people and fit perfectly in their comfortable van. Richard used a microphone in the van so that we all could hear his narrative. He was very insightful and knowledgeable of the area and was able to answer all of our questions. We had ample time at each stop and he even walked along a bit and offered to take pictures at all the key photo spots. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend the tour if you happen to be in The Cotswolds on vacation or a day trip from London. read more

My cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed our Cotswolds tour on Aug 13, 2023! We had a lovely time with Richard while he drove us around the area and gave us all kinds of wonderful information and tidbits about the Cotswolds and the individual villages we visited. And, we got plenty of time to walk around and shop where we could. Thank you Richard! We loved it. read more

Hubby and I booked this day tour with Richard because of the small group size of 7 people. The booking was immediately acknowledged by Lucy with very helpful travel information. We took a short train ride from London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh where Richard picked us up. Richard drove us through the quaint villages of Cotswolds while sharing fantastic facts. We loved the free time allowed at each stop. It was a wonderful day. Highly recommend as a great way to see the Cotswolds. read more
