The Cotswolds Guided Day Tour from London

Lovely tour. Nigel was a great tour guide. He was personable, had good and interesting information to share about the villages we visited, with good tips on shopping and dining. He had a fun play list that he played while he was not sharing information. Fantastic driver too, I never felt uncomfortable, we drove thru thick heavy london traffic with ease as well as navigating the. beautiful narrow roads in the Cotswolds. It was a lovely day, so glad we did it.

Very beautiful tour in the English countryside. Plenty of time at the various locations to look around at a leisurely pace. Very nice and easygoing guide. Clear directions. Comfortable, new bus with about twenty seats. Recommended.

Excellent experience in the Cotswolds… obviously in one day you can't enjoy them 100% but absolutely a great compromise! Calem was very kind and thoughtful!

Mike was fantastic guide great knowledge And helpful with not only Cotswold But info for our time in London Gave us great insight to Cotswold

The tour guide, Steve was marvellous. Informative, very funny and looked after us very well. The tour ran very smoothly, we had easily enough time in all the places we visited in the Cotswolds. Coach was comfortable. Had a brilliant day. Would definitely book with this company again.

Some fantastic visits. It is worth visiting the Cotswolds

This was better than I expected! Sophie and our driver were both so nice and fun! We really enjoyed getting to know both of them! Great knowledge about the area and where to eat in the Cotswolds... Highly recommend this trip!

A great way to see The Cotswolds. Our guide, Pooja, was fabulous. Very friendly, knowledgeable and provided great recommendations on how to get the most out of our trip. Coach was comfortable and air conditioned. George did a great job driving us around all day. Definitely worth it to take a day and see the countryside. Would highly recommend.

Great tour - nice day out of London - super tour guide and driver. I have forgotten the tour guide’s name - but she wa s super personable and helpful

I booked the guided day tour to The Cotswold from London with Anderson Tours to escape the city on a summers day, plus I had never been to that part of the UK so decided to go for it and be open to the country adventure! Mike, our experienced guide, was already at the Victoria 8.00am pick up waiting to go with myself as Jacob, our driver for the day, was early arriving in the luxury 20 seater mini-van ready to whisk us out of the city and into the fairytale world of The Cotswold, which he was also very excited about as he had never been there either! I was pleasantly surprised to be in a small group of 11 visiting from all different countries and not be on a massive coach for the tour. Mike explained that Anderson Tours always did The Cotswolds with a small group and mini van so we could access the narrow country lanes and see more of the area - I was very pleased! The mini van was very comfortable with on board A/C as Mike on the microphone told us London and English History on the way towards Oxford and our first service stop, before getting to The Cotswold. Before you know it, you're transported into a different age and into a Christmas Card scene of quaint, old-worldy cottages over rolling wolds and valleys of the Eastern Cotswolds. The tour included stopping off in Bibury to see the weaver cottages on Arlington Row, a walk around Rack Isle on the River Coln and weaving our way around the country lanes deeper into the Cotswolds to explore an authentic village the big buses can't get to - but our mini van with Jacob could! Lunch stop was in Burford, a charming market town on the River Windrush where you visit Jeremy Clarkson's pub 'The Farmers Dog' or eat at other local pubs, peruse the little giftshops (Three French Hens has everything!) or talk to the locals selling their sheep skins - the huge parish church is stunning to view and the village is also home to the daughter of a famous media tycoon too ... Jacob was always ready at the pick-up points with the van, not forgetting anyone! Our last stop was Stow-on-The-Wold another beautiful market town where the village sweet shop sells traditional handmade Cotswold ice cream and fudge, the local church holds the door with two trees growing around it from 'Lord of The Rings' and Mike recommended we go and explore the village's authentic antique shop, run by two friendly ladies who can gladly give you advice on your own antiques! A tour of The Cotswolds was a refereshing retreat and introduction to this special little pocket of the UK and very good value for money at £90.00 - I was quite sad our groups little summer country adventure came to an end. Best for families, solo travellers, couples or Londoners like me who wanted a country adventure. Thank you, Mike and Jacob for showing me The Cotswolds! - would recommend and would use Anderson Tours again for another tour!
