Our tour guide was was... - Our tour guide was was very friendly and very knowledgeable. From interesting facts to funny anecdotes it made the drive fly by. He gave some recommendations of things to see and try at the two stops, and we also really enjoyed his guided tour of Oxford.

Really good tour - Flossy and Michelle were awesome. Flossy took us through the historical and current aspects of Cotswold and Oxford with much enthusiasm. Too bad we didn’t get to see George Clooney or Hermione 😬. I would highly, highly recommend this tour to all who would like a pleasant day.

Fun day in the country side - Flossy was our guide. She was so up beat and knowledgeable and shared all that with the group. She certainly enjoys her job! Great driver too.
Cotswold village beautiful! So quaint and picturesque.
Oxford was so interesting. The architecture and history.
Weather held up which made it that much nicer.

A beautiful day in the Cotswolds - Our tour guide was Flossy and she was a delight. The drive was beautiful and we ended up going to a different village because of road works- so cute! Our stop in Oxford was really interesting. Would recommend!

Great tour to get out of the hustle and bustle of London - We enjoyed our tour guide Flossy and bus driver Michelle very much. We heard lots of interesting facts about the Cotswolds as we drove through the beautiful countryside. The stop at Bourton on the River was at a very idyllic village and it was fun to explore the quaint village shops and cottages. We were not able to visit the second village as promised in the description because of rode construction. The next stop was Oxford and it was very busy on a Saturday. Probably better to visit on a weekday. We signed up for a 'free' tour with an Oxford graduate but left shortly after the beginning as we were not impressed with the tour guide who kept promising to show us places but shortly later said we could see them on our own at the end of the tour! We regretted not staying with Flossy for her short tour of Oxford so we can't say how much we would have seen with her.

A little disappointed - We met up with the bus driver who took us out an hour to pick up our tour guide. Although it was not his fault the village we were supposed to go to had a bridge out so he substituted another. It was lovely. Then we went to Oxford. I think we spent too much time there. We could have gone to another village and spent less time in Oxford. We did a walking tour of Oxford but every building had an entrance fee and we had a hard time filling the time because we did not spend the money. Also I am not a Harry Potter fanatic and Oxford is partly the home to the film. Again I would have preferred going to other villages instead. The tour guide was very knowledgeable but we dropped him off and the driver took us back to London. I was not as comfortable with this driver as I have been with other drivers honestly.

Bait and Switch - take your own tour of Oxford - We booked this trip on Tuesday, Sept 23rd and the itinerary included a stop at Bibury but were told the morning of the trip (3 days later) “we know you probably booked this trip weeks or months ago and were told Bibury was a stop but in the last 10 days, the bridge into Bibury has partially collapsed and no longer can handle buses so we’re going to Bourton on the Water”. Looking at reviews now, I can see the bridge closure was going on since at least the end of August so the itinerary should’ve been updated by the time we booked. We felt like we got a bait and switch.
Also, our tour guide didn’t join us until almost 2 hours into the trip and then left almost 2 hours before getting back to London. Other than the walking tour at Oxford (which was great!), we didn’t get much of a “guided” tour.
Our bus driver, Dean, was amazing and we felt very comfortable on his bus.
If we were to do the day over, we would’ve just taken public transport out to Oxford - there’s a ton to do on campus (shops that include campus and London merch, tons of restaurants and shops, and the campus is beautiful!!!!). The extra drive to the Cotswolds was NOT worth what we saw.
