Great full day tour of Cotswold with fantastic tour guide Freya - Easy to book.
Small group no more then about 18 which was great rather then a whole big coach of people.
Bus with seat belts.
Started and ended on time.
Saw lovely villages in Cotswold and had enough time in each . Drive between the villages was short too and do able.
Of course drive back to London was about 2 hours but gave us time to chat and rest.
Two service stops -one each way to stretch our legs and rest breaks.
Weather could have been more sunnier but English weather ! and at least it did not rain through out.
Tour guide Freya was fantastic . Friendly , full of information , fun and with clear speech. I would book another tour because of her!
Driver Diana drove well . I was sitting right at the back but the drive was smooth and safe with no jerkiness.

Lovely day visiting 4 villages in the Cotswolds. - Lovely day visiting 4 villages in the Cotswolds. Just enough tour info from the guide Freya and good driving by Ash.
Tour departed and arrived back in London on time. Each venue allowed enough time to look around.
Good value for money.

Lovely tour in scenic backroads - Nick Young was our Driver Guide. He did an excellent job! Recommend you watch video on how to meet your van at Greenline hub. Not easy to find. Once on van Nick took over and drove us to Oxford where we got lunch to eat on board enroute to Bandom where Downtown Abbey Church was as well as several other buildings used in series. Very interesting! Then on to most picturesque village in England, Bibury. Very quant! Final stop was in Burford which was also nice. Tried a lard roll. Very tasty! Then back on van to drive back to London.
Lot of driving but Nick passed the time with music and his commentary on sights, customs, and interesting observations. Overall a very enjoyable day! Well worth the investment of time and money.

A beautiful region - The villages of the Cotswold region are short stories, and the journey to them was accompanied by much information from our guide. I personally hoped that once we enter the villages they will tell us more particularities, not only in the micro. But maybe it wasn't the format of this tour.
I also see that they now added more information about the meeting point. When I met, I was poorly indicated, lending myself to confusion.

Small Towns Tour June 2025 - Tour guide/driver was chatty right from the start. Very important considering the amount of time spent driving. We had four stops in small towns. Each one different in many ways.Small Towns

A Good Day in the Wolds - My wife and I recently took this excursion and had a good time. The tour is via mini-bus and the driver also serves as your guide. We visited scenic Bibury, the village of Burford and Oxford. Bibury is a small crossroads with quaint housing and nice landscape. Burford has an enclosed river running through it with nice shops adjacent to the river. Oxford is both the renowned college and a nice town. We were staying in London and this is good getaway from the urban scene. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that our driver/guide was just so-so in providing history and background. Reading reviews of other tours, it appears that his guiding was not quite as good as it might have been.
