Exactly as promised

The trip was exactly what it was billed as. I enjoyed walking around Buford, having my first British tea in Burton-on-the-Water, and climbed the tower in Oxford.

Sounds like the perfect day! You really cannot beat the tea in England and especially Bourton on the Water! This is a very popular tour with all ages. We are delighted you had a great day with us on tour! Thank you so much!

A lovely day in the English countryside

A beautiful day to head out into the English countryside. All 3 places -Buford, Bouford on the water and Oxford were amazing. Tour guide Jenn provided just enough commentary sprinkled with humor to make an enjoyable day. Dan the coach driver was super safe. Would travel with them again.

Jennifer is the best!

Jennifer was our tour guide, and I can't imagine having a better experience. She was beyond insightful, patient, and friendly to all passengers on the tour. Her knowledge of all things in the Cotsworlds and Oxford more than exceeded our expectations. The tour itself offered us plenty of time for guided history, along with solo time to explore on our own terms. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting London!

A day to remember

The Cotswold experience was amazing. . Our tour guide Phoebe could spit out facts and information like none other. Her passion for history is obvious. She made certain everyone was comfortable and all our needs were met. Our driver Rowan, all I can say is wow How he managed that large catch in such tight spaces was unbelievable. Those two made a good pair and made our day top notch. On our return to London we had the opportunity to have a few miles of “back roads” , beautiful scenery. I would highly recommend this tour
