Perfect Cotswolds Tour with an Exceptional Guide! - We had an AMAZING time touring with Johnnie! From pickup to drop-off, he was warm, gracious, and incredibly knowledgeable, bringing each stop to life with insights on history, geography, and pop culture. What made it special was how personalized it felt—once Johnnie learned our interests, he tailored the tour to match, making the whole day unforgettable. Our experience was the highlight of a truly fabulous week in England! To top it off, he even emailed us a list of all the places we visited. If you’re considering a tour, don’t hesitate—Johnnie and The Cotswold Tour Co. are THE BEST!

10/10, unbelievable Cotswold tour group! - I booked a tour for clients to tour the Cotswolds with Johnnie. He was absolutely fantastic and responsive ahead of the trip, and delivered an amazing tour for my clients. He was able to modify the tour to meet their needs with luggage and late check in times, and truly helped me immensely. You’re missing out if you go to the Cotswolds and don’t tour with Johnnie and his wife Lizzie!!

Amazing Experience! - As a Travel Advisor, I have access to some of the very best private guides and insider recommendations — and Johnnie and The Cotswold Tour Company absolutely live up to that standard. He came highly recommended by a fellow advisor, and from our first conversation through our day together in the Cotswolds, everything was effortless and seamless. Meeting Johnnie in person confirmed I had made exactly the right choice. His knowledge of the Cotswolds is exceptional, and he has a wonderful ability to tailor the day around your interests, whether that’s storybook villages, scenic countryside, or hidden local gems. He’s engaging, warm, and genuinely fun to spend the day with — the kind of guide who elevates the entire experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Johnnie again and will happily recommend him to my clients seeking an unforgettable Cotswolds experience.

Highly recommend! - I booked this tour for my clients visiting England and couldn't be happier I did. John, the tour guide, reached out before the tour to ensure my clients knew what train to take from London and where to meet him. He also offered to make lunch reservations for my clients on the day since it was just after Christmas and he knew places would be booked up. Then after the tour he sent my clients a detailed list of all the places they visited as well as links to articles about things they spoke about. He went above and beyond! I would highly recommend!

Fantastic Tour! - What an incredible tour! Johnnie was a fantastic guide who customized our day in the Cotswolds perfectly—giving us everything we hoped to see and even more. His deep knowledge of the area and the fascinating stories he shared brought the region to life as we explored. If you’re considering a visit, a private guide is truly the best way to experience the Cotswolds compared to a tour bus. I’ve taken many private tours throughout Europe, and Johnnie easily ranks as one of the best. He booked a charming pub for lunch, allowed for relaxed coffee breaks along the way, and made sure our group of four had exactly what we needed for a memorable day. From our initial inquiry to finalizing the day’s plans, Johnnie was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. The extra stops he thoughtfully added made the experience feel truly magical. I highly recommend The Cotswold Tour Co.—you won’t be disappointed!

Greta Two Days Touring the Cotswolds - My wife and I had a fantastic two days touring the Cotswolds with Johnnie in mid October. . He picked us up in Oxford and we spend 4-5 hours with him each day. At the end of the first day he dropped us off at our hotel in Stow-on-the-Wald. He planned the itinerary based on our preferences , and we were very happy with it. He included out of the way less touristy places, but we also covered all the major towns and villages. He is quite knowledgeable about the area and history. We throughly enjoyed our time with Johnnie and would highly recommend a tour with his company.
