Don’t miss this one! - “It was a beautiful tour with a comfortable bus, and our guide Flossie was exceptional—she did a fantastic job. We had ample time to explore each stop along the way.

The Cotswolds Best Ever Tour - What a fabulous day out with Flossy from Day Tours London & Jordan our bus driver. Flossy is brilliant, she’s vibrant, engaging, knowledgeable and you can tell she just loves what she does. Scenery is stunning on this tour and the Cornish Pasties in Bourton on the Water are the best. Best day out.

Counteyside bastion of old charm + bastion of literary prowess and excellence. - Wonderful country side of Cotswold, introduced by our guide Flossy in a very interesting manner. The history, geography, intrigues and exploits of different colleges in Oxford were also covered so very well. Enjoyed the tour.

My sister and I took this... - My sister and I took this tour to explore the English countryside on our first ever trip to London. Robert was our driver and Flossy was our tour guide. Robert was an amazingly experienced driver and I felt very comfortable the whole ride, whether that was on the city roads or country roads. Flossy was so knowledgeable and kind, and came around to get to know everyone on our tour a little bit more personally. I highly recommend taking her up on her optional 45 minute walking tour if you’ve never been to Oxford! I took advice from other reviews to bring snacks/sandwiches on the bus to eat during the long day and I felt like that was a great choice! There is a Tesco express right next to the pick up point, so I recommend stopping in there before the day starts. You only have a very limited time in each town, so trying to find food to go would have cut into the time of exploring. The first town is very small and cute, I would recommend bringing cash if you want to buy anything. The second town is gorgeous and has a lot more options for food and gift shops. Oxford was wonderful and had so much to do in such little time! Both Robert and Flossy made sure everyone was comfortable the entire time. It was a perfect taste of other towns in England if you have never been and have a shorter period of time to be in the area. It was a lovely time!

Most enjoyable day in Cotwolds and Oxford - My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide Giles was very enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and engaging. Our driver Diana got us to different locations on schedule. We highly recommend this tour. We would not have learned nor seen as much in the 10 hours if we drove and toured on our own.

Fantastic experience! - Probably the best tour we've ever been on. Our guide, James was the best: funny, polite, witty and nice, he made the entire experience a fabulous thing. The cotswolds villages are spectacular, do not hesitate to book this trip. In Oxford we also got a private tour with lots of information which was great. There was only one problem (and here's a tip): the back door of the bus was extremely squeaky and sometimes we didn't hear our guide talking which was very frustrating as we were sitting right next to the door, so avoid sitting near the back door of the bus. Here are some more tips: (1) bring a usb charger with you for your phone since the bus chairs have usb slots - you will be taking a lot of pictures and you'll need your battery! (2) Have some cash with you to tip the guide and the driver at the end if you feel like it, (3) There is a really nice Tesco supermarket right where they pick you up in the morning, arrive 20-30 mins early and buy some pastries or sandwiches (or meal deals, they have really good ones) so that you can have a lovely picnic by the water in the cotswolds and also save time (time is very limited and a lunch at a caffe in the cotswolds will take up a lot from your visiting time) and (4) visit the miniature museum in bourton-on-the-water, it's worth it (they also have bathrooms). Thank you for the lovely tour!

Wanted more from this trip! - My family member and I booked this trip and it was the worst out of the three that we took during this vacation. Right from the start it was unorganized and chaos. The driver was reading names off of a phone and could not find anyone. We then proceeded to wait another 20 minutes after the first bus left because we were waiting for one person. We finally left and then found out our bus driver was also the tour guide. It was less than optimal. We picked up a guide in the first town but she had 67 people to lead. You couldn’t hear her and there was no way she was keeping track of 67 people. Although Flossy and Tom were nice it was a poorly run trip!

Phone communication is not good - I called you quite early in the morning before the tour was to begin to tell you I had fallen down in Malta and hurt my knee and wanted to reschedule the tour for the next day. No one ever called me back.
