Excellent, well paced tour! - Lucky me, my tour guide was JAMES. Professional and friendly. Very knowledgeable and historically accurate 👍🏻 VISAL was the coach driver. He was also personable and provided a safe and comfortable journey. Looking forward to booking another EVANS EVANS TOUR. Deborah Vancouver, B.C.

Fantastic Trip With Beautiful Sights - We had a great time with our guide James and our driver Viesh. James was very informative and funny. The sights were beautiful and the history was amazing. It is a great way to see the English countryside while staying in London. Definitely got our money’s worth from the trip it was well worth the time spent and we are really glad to have done it.

Amazing Cotswolds and Blenheim experience - Me and my sister went to Blenheim and Cotswolds tour led by James and Viesh. Great way to cover a handful of things in one day for a very reasonable price and with a comfort of having a transfer (so you don’t need to take care of train / taxis, which may be an issue especially on a weekend). James is a great guy offering a whole lot of information during the tour in a fun way. Great delivery, super polite and takes a good care of the group. We learned a lot about life in Cotswolds, Blenheim / Duke of Marlboro / Churchill and got a couple of great lunch recommendations. 5/5!

Good day out - Our tour guide, James, was extremely friendly as well as being very engaging and knowledgeable. The bus driver, Vish, got us to where we needed to go safely and smoothly. The tour gives a good mix of sights and was a well worthwhile experience.

イギリス盛りだくさん - 短い時間でしたが、ダウントンアビーの世界観に触れ、コッツウオルズの美しい夕景を堪能することができて感激でした。 ブレナム宮殿の図書室は美しく、一見の価値ありです。政治家の認識しかなかったチャーチルさんのバックグラウンドを知り、イギリスはやはり奥深いなと思いました。 そしてガイドのサイモンさんのお話は、英語が得意ではない私にも聞き取りやすく、時にジョークを交えとても楽しめました。 集合時間は分かりやすく都度ボードに書いて掲示してくれました。 ドライバーのアレックスさんとの連携も素晴らしく、ロンドン到着まできっちり時間通りの運行で、プロのお仕事ぶりにも感動しました。 思い出に残る充実した1日でした。 ぶれAlthough it was a short time, I was moved to experience Downton Abbey's worldview. The library of Blenham Palace was great and it was nice to be able to visit. On the way back to london I was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Cotswolds. The story of Simon, the guide, was easy to understand and interesting, and I enjoyed it very much, although I was not good at English. It is also recommended for those who are not new to the UK.
