Great experience touring Cotswolds - Had a wonderful day visiting Cotswolds with Anderson Tours. If you enjoy history with a little bit of humor and a very personalized experience, JJ is a wonderful tour guide.

English - Hey, mine's not opinion. I want to hire the tour but I need it to be in Spanish and I see that it only says English. Come November. No audio guide or something in Spanish? Thank you.

Too many beautiful places so little time. - The bus was on time and Vina was very well spoken on what will happen for the entire day trip. First stop was Burford. It was our first time to see old looking houses but they are very beautiful esoecially the stones carefully laid out. The place was so quiet and clean. The greenery with sheeps grazing are good as postcards. It's almost unreal. In Bibury the river Coln was so clean that we can see trouts feeding. Arlington houses were rustic and unique they bring you back in time. Stow On The Wold church gardens were beautiful and serene. Also a great place to shop and dine. The pub which is the oldest in England makes you wonder how they were able to run it for more that 300 years and counting. Finally Chipping Campden has the most unique house roofs. It was unbelievable to see such design and survived in time. Everything in Cotswlolds showed a perfect view on how it was centuries ago.

Enjoyed the journey - wish there was more info about villages though - Due to a major traffic accident on the main highway to the Cotswold, the driver had to divert to another road that was very congested. Because of this we were not able to visit one of the villages. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful excursion and maybe our time would have been too compressed had we visited all of the villages. It could only have been made better if the guide had provided more detailed information about the history and villages. He did an acceptable job, but it just seems that there could have been more information to convey about such a historical and beautiful place.

Lovely day in this... - Lovely day in this traditional village, but I hope we can spend more time in each place because it felt quite rushed

Cotswolds - Very beautiful villages to see. Overcrowded with tourists, wrecks the vibe. It's a long 10hr day, 50mins in Burford, 40mins in Bibury, 1.5hrs in Stow on the Wold and 40mins in Chippen Campden. The rest was spent driving. We felt that the 4th destination Chippen Campden was unnecessary to visit. Bus driver was amazing, able to manuver a large coach around tight roads and ridiculous traffic. Our guide was lovely however was at times difficult to understand with a heavy spanish accent.

Beautiful villages, disappointing tour. - The logistics and timing of the day could be much improved. We arrived for lunch in Stow-on-the-Wold at 2.30pm, after most of the restaurants had closed for the afternoon. Same thing happened by the time we got to Chipping Campden. We arrived at 5pm and everything was closed for the day. The tour guide was surprised by this and it appeared that she had not done this tour before. Her knowledge of each town was very limited and she relied heavily on our fantastic bus driver for a lot of guidance during the day. I enjoyed the villages, but honestly got little value from having a tour guide. Very disappointed and would not recommend.

Beautiful Villages, Tour Could Use Some Improvements - The itinerary and timing of this tour could use some work. By the time we reached Stow-on-the -Wold it was almost 2:30pm. Traffic wasn’t bad, so that wasn’t the issue. The majority of restaurants close for the afternoon at 2 or 2:30, so options were severely limited. Further, when we reached Chipping Campden it was 5pm and everything except the pubs were closed for the day (enjoyed some time in one to be sure). Our tour operator was surprised by the closures in both of these towns, and overall appeared to not be familiar with this tour, the villages, and the logistics, deferring to our driver (who was terrific) for quite a bit of guidance though out the day. I would highly recommend visiting the area, but not on this tour.

Not what we expected - The tour was 45 minutes late to pick up location. Granted it was a Friday morning and traffic was very bad, but that should have been taken into consideration. We had to adjust the tour due to horrendous traffic and road construction. We were rushed and honestly not what we thought we'd get on this tour. The bus driver deserves a combat medal due to navigating through tight, tight roads. The restroom on bus was disgusting and very hard to get to. I had no other choice but to ask my husband to help me. Very dangerous trying to get down steps into a very dirty bathroom. Overall, I'd choose one of the other tour groups. There's a reason this has very little reviews. The other tours were booked so we had to book this one. Very disappointing.
