We had a perfect day-trip tour of the Cotswolds, from London. The overall experience was first rate in all respects. We were easily able to modify and customize the itinerary, pickup was also customized to accommodate two stops, and everything was prompt and efficient. Pre-tour communication was timely and easy. Our guide, Christopher, was very knowledgeable and informative, including with respect to relevant history pertaining to different stops. The tour was comfortable in a luxury vehicle, not an overcrowded bus. Also, unlike some group tours we have had in various places in the past, there was no push to patronize favored restaurants or stores, just unbiased advice and suggestions. I would highly recommend Tour Brittania, and will look for another opportunity for a future tour myself.

Thank you so much for the lovely review! We’re really pleased you had such a great day in the Cotswolds with us.
It’s great to hear that the flexibility worked well for you. We always try to make our private tours fit the people travelling, rather than making you fit around a fixed itinerary, so being able to arrange the two pickup stops and tailor the day was no problem at all.
We’re also really glad you enjoyed travelling with Christopher. Our guides love sharing the history and stories behind the places you visit, and we know that having a comfortable vehicle and the freedom to stop and explore at your own pace makes a big difference.
And thank you for mentioning the lack of pressure to visit particular restaurants or shops. We simply want our guests to enjoy their day, and we’re always happy to make suggestions based on what they actually like.
Thanks again for choosing Tour Britannia and for the recommendation. We’d love to see you again and show you some more of our wonderful country!

Wonderful day !
Wonderful Day!
Christopher was an excellent guide,very professional,on time...and a good driver too!
We immediately clicked with him.
He quickly understood what we were expecting: a relaxing trip,no speed,enjoying slowly the atmosphere of the cotswolds landscapes,exploring slowly each village...
We appreciated how the day was planned.Christopher kindly shared his knowledge of the cotswolds history which he knew well,with many insolite and interesting details.
No problem with the langage : he made his best to make us understand his comments ,and it worked very well.
We 're really satisfied of our trip and highly recommand the expérience.

Thank you Ghislaine, Serge, Françoise and Bernard for your lovely review.
We’re so pleased you had such a wonderful day exploring the Cotswolds with Tour Britannia. One of the things we love most about our Hidden Gems tour is that it isn’t about rushing from place to place, but taking the time to enjoy each beautiful village, the landscapes and the atmosphere of this special part of England.
It’s lovely to hear that Christopher quickly understood the kind of day you were hoping for and that his knowledge of Cotswolds history, along with those unusual little details and stories, helped make the experience even more memorable. Our guides genuinely enjoy sharing these insights and bringing the places we visit to life.
We’re especially happy that language wasn’t a barrier and that Christopher made sure everyone could enjoy the stories and conversations throughout the day.
Thank you again for choosing Tour Britannia and for highly recommending us. We hope to welcome all four of you back to Britain one day for another adventure!

Made all the difference.
My wife and I have always loved travel that included the two of us, a car, and a new area to explore. At 76 years old, a 10 day tour of the Cotswolds, ending in Oxford was more than we wanted to try alone, and any kind of structured group tour was not going to happen.
Sometimes you get lucky. Tour Britannia was arranged by our travel agent and it was a game changer. By the end of the first hour, our guide Chris heard and got that photography was important. That backroads and authentic was better than tourist stops.
By the end of the first day, (Chris was our guide each time a car was involved), it was like I was driving. Add Chris’ enthusiasm, knowledge, and experience and he replaced the initial angst that our age may be getting us closer to that tour bus, with a simply wonderful time.
I could go on but suffice it to say that our recommendation for Chris and his family owned company is unqualified.
Thanks Chris!

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. It truly means a great deal to us that your time in the Cotswolds and Oxford was such a memorable experience.
At Tour Britannia we love creating trips that feel personal, unhurried, and authentic, so hearing that Chris understood exactly the style of travel you enjoy — from hidden backroads to photography stops and local gems — is especially rewarding.
We firmly believe that great travel should never feel like being herded from stop to stop and we are delighted that your trip captured the freedom and spontaneity that make exploring beautiful areas like the Cotswolds so special.
It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your adventure, and we’re so grateful to your travel agent for trusting us with your journey. Thank you again for your recommendation and for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback.
I hope we can get together again for another Tour Britannia adventure.

Private tour is the best for us
Highly recommend! Dave did a great job of showing us parts of the Cotswolds that tourists don't usually see. After Bourton on the Water, we asked him to show us the beauty of the Cotswolds. It was wonderful! Quiet, could close my eyes and hear the birds. He knows the history. It was just 3 of us which made it suited to our interests. And he was kind enough to stop at the grocery for us.

Thank you so much for your brilliant review. We know the Cotswolds well and love showing our guests the hidden gems and secret spots most visitors to the area never see. Dave told us how much he enjoyed spending the day with you so it sounds like a great time all round.

Best tour for seeing/visiting the Cotswolds
My husband and I decided to splurge on this private tour of the Cotswolds and we are so happy we did! What a lovely day with our tour guide Christopher. We were picked up promptly at our hotel at 8am and had a wonderful and relaxing 2 hour drive to the Cotswolds. Christopher gave us an overview of our day and told about the history of the region. He even made a lunch reservation for us at a lovely restaurant in Barnsley, which was the highlight of our day. Our first stop of the day was in the lovely village of Bourton-On-The-Water, and we were given time to walk along the river and to explore some of the shops. The other villages were equally as charming and the scenery was spectacular. We can see why this is a much loved region of England and why it has been a must see destination for anyone visiting England. Christopher was very knowledgable about the Cotswolds and also about the history of England in general, so we learned a lot from him. It really made our tour so much more interesting, We can’t thank Christopher enough for his hospitality and his professionalism. We were sad for our tour to end as we felt like we had made a new friend. We definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to visit the Cotswolds, and we would do it again if we could. Thank you Christopher for making this tour the highlight of our visit to England!

Amazing Experience on Cotswolds Tour
We had a really enjoyable day in the Cotswolds on our tour with Christopher! When we reached out to Christopher ahead of the tour, he was happy to customize some of our destinations to include locations from Clarkson’s Farm, which was very exciting for us as fans of the tv show. On the day of the tour, Christopher showed up promptly at our hotel, and had a very nice vehicle, with water, entertainment, and WiFi available. He explained our itinerary as we drove out to the Cotswolds, as well as giving us a lot of history and background on the area. He was very knowledgeable about Cotswolds history and we really enjoyed chatting with him during the couple of hours journey out of London.
We really enjoyed all of the stops. The small towns were very interesting, and Christopher did a great job explaining the history in the architecture in each stop. He also made sure to walk with us through certain areas to make sure that we saw all of the interesting sites and gardens. We really appreciated the opportunity to have a ‘mooch’ in Bourton-on-the-Water, and Christopher was happy to park and wait for us to hang around town for a little while and visit the pub before heading to our next stop. Christopher also prearranged an awesome lunch for us which we really appreciated. We had excellent local Cotswolds fare in a beautiful old manor house setting, and also enjoyed the gardens at the lunch stop.
Christopher also showed us around some ruins while explaining a lot of background and stories about the place, which was a great opportunity to explore and get a feel for the castle/hall that used to be there. Lastly, Christopher gave us an opportunity to visit the farmers dog pub and was happy to wait for us to visit the shop (and have a pint) before our trip back to London.
Overall, we loved the day with Christopher and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is in London and would like to spend a day enjoying the English countryside!

A fantastic review!!! Thank you so much.
We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Cotswolds with Christopher. He really does enjoy sharing his knowledge of the area, and it’s great to know you appreciated the mix of history, charming villages, and hidden gems. It was great fun tailoring the tour to include a few Clarkson’s Farm locations — always a treat for fans of the show!
We’re also pleased you enjoyed the lunch and had time for a proper mooch around Bourton-on-the-Water — it’s one of our favourites as well.
It sounds like you made the most of the day, and we couldn’t be happier to hear it.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience, and we do hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you on another tour in the future.
