Good tour, bad tour company (Golden)
Oliver the tour guide and Amrish the driver were fine (although Oliver walked too fast for some of the folks on the tour). The biggest problem was the coach was one hour late leaving, so we only went to one village in the Cotswalds, not two. Then were were all made to leave the bus at the end of the day many miles from where we had started the tour, clearly not the final destination we had been given by Viator. Very bad practice. All of this is on Golden Tours, not Oliver or Amrish.

Lousy Management
Though no fault of guide Oliver and driver Amrish, the tour started some 1 hour and 15mins late!! Horrible feel wasting precious morning hours just waiting and waiting for replacement bus. Every stop became a rush. Felt like we spent money just sitting more in coach than visiting the lovely towns Bath and Coswold. By the time we got to Coswold Bourton on water, shops were getting ready to close for the day - pity. It is a lovely town to stroll down. Unlike other travel agencies, there was zero effort made to compensate for the slip and lose of time!
Operator response
We sincerely apologise for the delay and the impact it had on your experience. Unfortunately, the need for a replacement coach was beyond our control, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to lose valuable time at the destinations. We are sorry that this affected your time in Bath and the Cotswolds, and we appreciate your patience and feedback.

Great tour bath & Cotswold
Our tour went to Bath and Cotswold, Our guide Eileen and driver Kee were great! She is a wealth of knowledge, engaging and entertaining. Eileen made sure to chat with everyone. Our driver Kee had to demonstrate is 5 star driving skills had to turn to back up and turn around on a country road as the closed was closed for repairs. They make a good team.

Venues find travelling not so
We were told the bus had a toilet and it didn't, due to a change of buses available on the day.
We were told we would be dropped off at victory station and we weren’t and had to find our own way back.
Operator response
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration caused.
While our tour details specify Gloucester Road as our standard drop-off point rather than Victoria Station, we completely understand your disappointment regarding the unexpected change in coach facilities. Having a different vehicle provided on the day without the expected onboard amenities is certainly not the seamless experience we strive to deliver, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused to your journey.
We are passing your comments on to our operations team to ensure our vehicle assignments and tour communications are handled much better moving forward. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
