DISAPPOINTED in Viator. Not worth the money

It was more like a Uber around the region rather than a tour. We visited some highlights throughout each area but there wasn’t much beyond what you could find on your own over the internet. You stop at each location for 20-40 minutes, then you get shown 1 or 2 places, get told some information being wrong and then walk around on your own. I was expecting so much more especially for the cost ($600). I was DISAPPOINTED in VIATOR, I would think they would vet their drivers more and ensure that their tour operators were very well informed about the region. I really felt like I had waisted my money and thought about asking Viator for a partial refund. I would NOT recommend it at all. I don’t know if I’ll ever use Viator again.

Secrets of Cotswolds was a big surprise!

Our guide Caglar was amazing and drove to some lovely gems in the Cotswolds! It was beyond all our expectations and it was nice to get out in each town and explore the sights and walk the charming streets and paths!

Perfect Cotswolds Afternoon

Coglar planned the perfect 1/2 day tour for our group! Having the small group allowed us to go to smaller towns and get the real feel of the Cotswolds without feeling rushed. He’s a safe driver on challenging roads as well. Special thanks to Coglar who drove 45 mins out of his way to return our missing cell phone. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your group through the Cotswolds.Also, I was more than happy to drive back and return the phone—I know how stressful it can be to lose something so important while traveling, and I'm just glad it made it back to you safely. Thank you again for recommending me, and I hope to welcome you all back to the Cotswolds in the future! Warm regards, Caglar

Amazing and highly recommended!! Wish we can give more than 5 stars.

Caglar is amazing. He responded promptly as soon as we booked the tour, had excellent communication before and during our journey. He customised what we aimed in the trip, is knowledgeable about the history of the Cotswolds area, provided excellent service and went a step further providing advice on taking photos as a pro. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a chill and enjoyable day trip in Cotswolds!

A lovely afternoon touring the Cotswolds.

So nice to have a private tour. A lovely group of villages. Good info about the history and places. Good mix of walking around and then going to the next place. Free time for lunch. A little shopping if desired!

Operator response

I am so glad you enjoyed the private tour! I loved showing you the villages, sharing the history, and having a nice mix of walking and exploring. It’s great to hear. I hope to see you again on another adventure!

Calgar was outstanding!...

Calgar was outstanding! He gave us a fantastic full-day tour of the Cotswolds and struck the perfect balance – being informative without overwhelming us, while still giving plenty of space to explore the villages on our own. Communication was excellent, especially regarding pickup time and location, and his vehicle was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend Calgar to anyone looking for a wonderful Cotswolds experience!

Operator response

Thank you so much, Greg, it was a pleasure hosting you! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the Cotswolds. I did my best to make the day special for you both, and if you come back to Cotswolds again, I’d be more than happy to welcome you back. Wishing you plenty of sunny days ahead!
