Glowing Cotswold Review - A lovely time was had by my friend and myself on this visit to the Cotswolds. Our guide, Eva, was beyond wonderful in every way. She was so very informative, while showing all her great sense of humor at every turn along the way. Eva even took the time to go through directions back to our accommodations with every person on the bus, while on our drive back to London. The weather wasn't perfect, but even that was made comfortable with Eva. Our driver, Sonny (sp) was fantastic too, maneuvering through the towns and interacting with our large group. I would gladly take a trip with either or both of these wonderful people again!

Relaxing - Nice to see the English countryside. The lunch was quite good, large portion. Quite a few people on our tour did not seem to aware of the 15 minute walk from the bus into the village at our last stop. I knew of it before hand, but maybe it was not described so well in the tour description.

Great experience to Cotswolds - We went to the beautiful Cotswolds with Golden tours and Sandra was our guide.
We loved the Tour thoroughly, and Sandra was extremely nice and funny. She made each and every destination in the trip memorable.

Beautiful area but poor itinerary - Golden Tours was the provider for this tour and I would not book a tour that used them in the future. They canceled our tour 2 days before and gave us an option to switch to another tour or get a refund. Where this was an all day tour and we had already planned for it in our schedule, we chose the replacement tour that they offered. This new tour added on Bath and still allowed us to see some of the Cotswolds. When we arrived to the bus station to get the tour, they were very disorganized. They didn’t know what bus we were taking and their staff seemed uninformed. The bus itself was not the cleanest. Trays weren’t wiped down and the trash was full before we even started our journey. The tour itself was not the best itinerary because Bath is in one direction and the Cotswolds is in another. Both the driver and tour guide said the tour should really be to one or the other location- Bath or The Cotswolds but not both in the same tour. The amount of driving really limited the time we had to spend in each place. With that being said, Michael our driver and Eileen our guide were very good. Buford, the last stop, was 40 minutes and almost all of the stores were closed or closing when we arrived. I think The Cotswolds are worth exploring for sure but not with this itinerary and not in this timeframe.

Beware of Last Minute Cancellation - We booked a sightseeing tour with Golden Tours London months in advance, looking forward to exploring some of the city’s most iconic sights. Sadly, the company cancelled the tour at the last minute, leaving us with no alternative plans and a lot of frustration.
As travelers who had been eagerly waiting and planning for this experience for a long time, this was incredibly disappointing and disruptive. It’s unacceptable for a tour operator to cancel with such short notice, especially for bookings made so far in advance.
I would caution others to be wary of relying on Golden Tours if your time in London is limited — the lack of reliability and communication turned what should have been a highlight of our trip into a major letdown.
