Good Cotswold intro tour - Very upbeat guide who was in my opinion the perfect amount of interaction. Cotswolds were exactly what we hoped for. Hated all the bus time but seems to be a necessary evil and it was as comfortable as a bus can be. USB ports at seats and slight wings on head rests for those like me that fall asleep after 10 min. In hindsight I’d have probably done better with a tour with more walking but no getting around the driving there and back issue from London. UK certainly has very nice rest stop! Appreciated that we were never in bus for more than approx an hour at a pop.

Lovely day trip - This is how more tours should be! We visited 4 market towns, and with a little bit of guidance from our tour guide, spent around an hour on our own on each high street, to shop, try food, and wander as we pleased. It was the perfect kind of tour for those who hate tours. We had a comfortable bus, and caring guide and driver. It was a little difficult to understand the guide’s accent over the bus microphone, but she was so happy and knowledgeable to answer questions as we visited each town that it was minor. We would do this tour again, even on the same trip!

The cotswolds are pretty and relaxing - The trip was very smooth, punctual, easy overall. The cotswolds are very nice and the villages we visited are very pretty. It is nice to see and look around but if you want to relax and chill in one of those villages you might want to consider spending a night instead of taking a day trip, which is quite quick. The time we spent in each village was enough to check it out but just enough. Not that any more time can be squeezed into one day trip. The guide was extremely sweet and nice to us and we enjoyed her presence. The cotswolds are pretty but there isn’t much to do. A bit more time was spent in one of the villages in order to have lunch and it was quite nice and relaxing.

Maybe the driver needs a break - When asked what is the most memorable part of the tour for this review, sadly it is the dangerous driver. Crossing centre lines, overspeeding and correcting the poor guide during her commentary. Took a real shine off the Cotswolds and scenery as we sat white knuckled until the end .

Guide was great but the bus driver was scary - The itinerary was good and the Cotswolds were so pretty. The guide was very animated in her commentary, albeit the older driver corrected her on occasions. This was unfortunate as he constantly chatted to her, turning his head whilst doing so. I lost count of how many times the alarm went off as he veered over the centre line, at one stage causing me to scream as I thought we were about to hit the oncoming traffic. The over speeding lights flashed numerous times. All in all the “ on edge” drive spoilt the ability to enjoy the scenery. After 11 hours we finally made it back safely. Phew !

This trip would have been... - This trip would have been more enjoyable if the coach driver would have turned on the air conditioning when everyone was entering instead of waiting for the time to start driving. With the warm weather it was incredibly hot on the coach, it made me ill. And he needed to leave the air on for the duration of the ride.

Horrible rushed experience. We felt like cattle - 45 mins was just about enough time for refreshments. We spent so much money, went to such a pretty place, only to get enough time to eat lunch, grab a coffee or a sub standard cream tea. All recommendations were CRAP and we barely have 2 pictures of us in every spot. Horrible itenary with not enough time to explore a single spot. Don’t bother booking this tour
