Enjoyed every minute - We really enjoyed our Cotswolds tour, at every stop Andrew shared historical information that made the trip so enjoyable. We had plenty of time to walk around each village and take it all in.

Amazing family tour - We had an amazing day in the Cotswalds with Andrew! We had a group of 6 - four adults and 2 kids. Andrew had a super comfortable van for us, and he and Ian created a perfect itinerary for our family and kids. Andrew was incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s history. We learned a ton but also had some free time to explore on our own. I’d definitely recommend!

Great tour of the Cotswolds - We had a great experience going to the Cotswold with Andrew. Pick up and drop off right on time. Nice comfortable car. Very knowledgeable tour and good selection of places to stop. We were thankful that we did not attempt to drive this on our own, The driving is very difficult and required an expert driver. Andy navigated some seriously challenging narrow and windy streets!

Amazing day in the Cotswolds with our family - My girlfiend and our parents (6 people) went for a private tour of the Cotswolds from Oxford with Andy who made our day memorable! He had a great knowledge of the area and its history, and even spoke French (which made it easier with our parents)! The Cotswolds themselves and their villages are charming and beautiful. We highly recommend this tour to discover the heart of the region.

Perfect - Ian our tour guide told us a lot of information and also interesting stories about Cotswolds. The tour was absolutely entertaining and is definitely recommended. Breaks were well chosen and had the right length. Even if you don't have an outstanding command of English, you can follow Ian very well.

Undiscovered Cotswolds Private Tour - Andy from Undiscovered Cotswolds was an awesome tour guide. We spent entire day with him and he was a world of information. We visited Lower Slaughter, Bourton on the Water, Burford and Minster Lovell. Andy recommended High Tea at Lords of the Manor (pictured) and we were not disappointed. This was our 1st time to the Cotswolds and Andy was patient with us while we explored, rested and took in all the places we visited. Definitely 5 stars and 5 thumbs up.

The Charm of The Cotswolds - Jo was amazing! Her knowledge of the local area brought the Cotswolds to life, sharing fascinating stories and little-known tidbits that made the visit truly special. I gained an appreciation for this beautiful region, and loved the places she recommended for cream tea & lunch. Thank you to Ian & Jo for an unforgettable visit to the Cotswolds!

Stonehenge and Bath - Fabulous Guide - Ian! - We recently had time in Southampton before getting on a cruise ship. We decided to avail ourselves of a guided tour with our driver Ian Mowbray-Williams of Undiscovered Cotwolds. It was a spectacular day! Ian picked up 3 of us for a fun tour of Stonehenge and Bath. Ian was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, sharing stories about his travels, education and experiences, as well as his in-depth knowledge of the history in both locations. We learned things that we would have never known if we had gone on our own. We stopped for lunch at a local pub in Bath (The Raven) which was one of Ian's favorites. Ian ate with us and recommended the meat pies which did not disappoint! You know it's a good place when all the locals eat there! I would highly recommend taking advantage of Ian's expertise and his easy-going personality - it was very clear that he loves his job! Our only disappointment was that we didn't have another day there as we would have loved to visit the Cotwolds with Ian!
