It was great trip, very well managed - timing was carefully balanced, so you will havs just enough time to enjoy everything. Stonehenge is a must. Windsor is breathtaking. Oxford was fine as well, not that interesting though. Our guide, Vaughn, was amazing - very well prepared, proving us with interesting information in a funny way, leading the whole trip smoothly. Greetings to the driver Tony for providing us safe and comfortable drive. Overall, I strongly recommend.
I liked the fact that we managed to visit 2 of the most highly rated Cotswolds villages, Burford and Bibury. We had enough time in both villages to do the photo shots, enjoy the fall scenery and leisurely walk along the street. Oxford was a bit hectic as 2 hours is not enough for the city.
Tour was great. We loved the fun facts the driver/guide shared along the way. Stops along the tour give you a great taste of country life and Cotswolds living. Time was well spent and we wish we had more time in each village-I guess it’s an excuse to go back again, and again.
It was wonderful. Karen was an excellent guide, so nice and competent. Malcolm the driver was so sympathetic and funny. All the safe mesures were done. It was an amazing day. I recommend!!! Now I have to wait the second lockdown ends to get another tour.
It was a wonderful trip around Costwolds and Oxford. The tour guide was absolutely entertainment telling us enjoyable stories about the royalty and countryside. Also give us enough information to visit key points in each part of the trip.
