Amazing Tour / Amazing Guide / should be 10 stars - We had an unforgettable experience on this Cotswolds Day Tour from Stratford-Upon-Avon! Paul, our guide, was absolutely fantastic and should be labeled as the "behind-the-scenes" expert. The tour took us on mostly one-lane roads, allowing us to explore hidden gems of the Cotswolds that larger tours might miss. Paul was incredibly flexible with the route, skillfully navigating around a massive traffic jam and ensuring we had a smooth and enjoyable journey. The coach was comfortable and perfectly suited for the narrow roads, making the trip relaxing and enjoyable. We were also treated to some unexpected bonus stops along the way, which added a delightful surprise to our day. Paul's extensive knowledge of the area and its history made the tour informative and engaging. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the Cotswolds in a unique and intimate way!
