The Cotswolds, an adventure worth having. - Eddie Prendergast is an excellent guide. He arrived ahead of schedule and had everything ready for us to start our day on schedule. Taking care to understand our interests and expectations was the first order of business, and directed our day. The day was filled with insites into each stop, both historical and present day. In addition to the expected, Eddie enhanced our experience with special stops to reveal true gems along the way. I could not imagine a more rewarding tour.

Excellent day trip to the villages - Steve was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with plenty of insight about all the locations that we were brought to. He cracked jokes along the way, making sure that we felt right at home while travelling on this day trip with him. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick day trip out to the villages and would recommend asking for Steve to be your driver if possible!

Lovely tour w/ fantastic guide! - We had a wonderful tour of the Cotswolds with our very capable and friendly guide, Christopher. We managed to fit in several villages throughout the day and enjoyed the scenic drive between our stops. We really enjoyed the flexibility of the private tour with our family of 7 and the ease of door to door pickup & drop off. Highly recommend!

Cotswolds and More! - A Most Memorable Experience! We booked a private tour so that we did not have to wait around to load and unload a bus. eddie was an amazing guide. He picked us up right in front of our hotel! He even provided us with fresh water bottles. Eddie is definitely a local who has been all over the world with previous businesses he owned. he drove us all around the cotswolds - including Oxford University - and even places that were not advertised in the tour. We got to see so much more than we expected. he took us to the Oldest Pub in England. so so quaint and interesting! He also gave us extra time at each location. at the end he recommended the oldest restaurant in England and it did not disappoint! Definitely book this tour and ask for Eddie!

Great way to tour the Cotswolds - Our driver Cash showed up on time and gave us well over the alloted time scheduled for the day in order to see all the sites. He was fairly knowledgeable about what areas were of most interest and allowed us to determine how we wanted our day to go. The vehicle was comfortable and we were satisfied with the experience.

Enchanting! - Loved it!!! The English country is a very different experience from the hustle of London and well worth the trip. The beauty of these small towns and villages truly must be experienced. Where else can you grab lunch in a 1,000-year old pub? And eat delicious locally-sourced food? It's hard to visit without planning a future stay. And for anyone looking to go - a private tour is absolutely the way to go. The coach was incredibly comfortable and we definitely appreciated being able to customize the itinerary a bit - and stay a bit longer in select locations when we wanted some extra time to explore (or shop). Our guide was top-notch - he was very entertaining and definitely knew where to find some hidden gems! Highly recommend trips with Eddie! If you get a chance, swap Stratford upon Avon for Oxford. You won't regret this trip!!

Request NICKY he was the BEST. Best tour ever. Best guide in all of England. - Tour guide Nicky is hands down the BEST of the BEST in all of England. When I say this man truly gave us one of the most memorable, amazing days we’ve ever had - I mean it. He was incredibly kind, thoughtful and patient with our mom who has some mobility issues. He took us to the most gorgeous, scenic villages ever. Loved his private tour so much, we’re booking him again in September.

Not really as advertised - It was essentially a hired drive to these venues. Unlike what the description of this service, there was no personal guides to these venues — you had to figure your way around Stratford ans Cotswold (after you have disembarked). Oh, there was no snacks, drinks or onboard WiFi too (despite what’s advertised). The driver Kash was a great guy, just wished the service description wasn’t misleading.
