Private Cotswold Villages Day Tour zie de schoonheid van de dorpen

Christopher was a great guide. Very warm and friendly. Took us to out of the way places like a brewery with honor system beer and a milk dispensing machine on an organic farm. Had time to wade in the water to beat the heat. Great Day!

Wonderful tour. All the highlights. Peter was a great guide. Very accommodating to each person in our party.

This was our first visit to The Cotswolds, so my wife and I needed a guide to help us make the most of the day. Peter was an amazing guide. Pickup at the hotel was easy and on-schedule. The drive was smooth and in a beautiful vehicle. Peter was knowledgeable about the area and gave us tips on what to visit and where to eat lunch. He provided the perfect balance of walking with us to help us get acclimated to an area, and then allowing us to explore on our own with a clear meet-up location after we were done. He was available via phone or text at all times. He was a smooth driver, both through London traffic and on curvy country roads. Peter took us to four different towns during the day, and we now have wonderful memories, pictures, and keepsakes for the day. Kingdom Private Tours was also excellent. Charles was proactive in his communication and was able to answer any questions that we had. There were no hiccups or surprises. All in all, it was a wonderful day that exceeded our expectations. We enthusiastically recommend both Peter and Kingdom Private Tours to others.

Had an amazing day trip out in the Cotswolds! Our guide Jay was outstanding & made our day trip all the more memorable & enjoyable. Thank you Jay! Highly recommend

Our guide David Stubbs made our fabulous trip to The Cotswolds so much richer by not only pointing us to the “must-sees” of the English countryside, but the little-known, off-the-beaten path treasures, as well. In addition, he got us an advanced lunch reservation at the oldest pub in Britain (his idea, and it was lovely) and he gave us must-try-while-here meal recommendations so we could get a true taste of his country. Had we gone it alone, we would have missed so much. We also felt very safe and comfortable with him—very important for a group of four women. No wonder Rick Steves mentions him as a top guide for the London area!

It is difficult to write a review that captures our truly outstanding experience. Booking was easy, communications with tour company was great. The van was clean and roomy, with a very smooth ride the entire way. And our driver/guide -- unbelievable! We have been on many local tours around the U.S. and Europe, both private and group tours, and have NEVER had such a fantastic guide! Nik was friendly, informative, funny, and knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects. We saw Burford, Stow on the Wold, Lower Slaughter, Bourton and Bibury. Yet we never felt rushed, and still managed to fit in a traditional Sunday "Roast Dinner" and a stop for local Cotswold ice cream. Our highest recommendation!!

Douglas was an excellent driver/guide. Very personable and filled with lots of historical facts. The Cotswolds are stunning, with rolling hills, scenic rivers and streams, and beautiful little villages. Some of the villages can get crowded, but Douglas is pretty effective in keeping you out of them. The only reason the rating is not 5 stars is the lunch location selected by Douglas was very average. He also assumed we were buying his lunch, though that is not disclosed in the tour description, so you may want to ask your driver/guide.

Our family of four (two boys, 11 and 8) from the United States had an amazing tour of Oxford and the Cotswolds with our guide Nik. Nik is a proper English gentleman with an abundance of personality and humor. He was engaged the entire day, making sure we prioritized what was most important to us and especially having fun and making it a memorable experience for us and our two boys. We also loved Oxford and the several Cotswolds villages we were able to see. It’s a beautiful area and we were blessed with great weather that day…which also meant larger crowds in some places, but Nik was inventive with managing parking/traffic. He also arranged a pub lunch stop for us that ended up being one of our favorite meals of our entire trip (The Stag at Stow). And as we drove back to London that evening, we had a lovely and wide-ranging conversation with Nik. And he was a safe and aware driver. We did a separate tour on another day with Kingdom Private Tours and had a similarly wonderful experience with a different guide (Jay). We would absolutely recommend Kingdom Private Tours and felt that we received a great value from our experiences.

Mohammad (Mo) drove us to Cotswold outside of London. He was a good driver, but had no historical information to share with us regarding the location. The cost of the tour for four people was 1365 pounds. Absolutely a waste of money as he was a glorified bus driver. The last time that I went to Cotswold on a tour I had a fabulous driver who had excellent historical information regarding the various towns and Cotswold. I had booked it through our hotel. I wish I had booked it through our hotel this time in 2025. I will never, ever book another trip through Viator. I asked for a partial refund, but they wouldn’t give it to me. We travel a lot and I will tell everyone I know to never ever book through Viator. Completely disappointed and completely ripped off.

This tour was great. Moe was our driver and he was kind, helpful with my Mom, who is older, and very knowledgeable on the area. The villages were cute and I am glad we got out of the city to explore.
