Visiting some of the Cotswolds' villages was a long time dream, and this tour fulfilled that dream. Ian is a wonderful host and we enjoyed spending the day with him and the other guests. He provided interesting background information as we drove and walked through beautiful sites. His stories were fascinating, and it was so fun to be educated by someone who so obviously loves the area and his job. We didn't feel rushed, even though the tour took us to seven different villages. We left the UK with wonderful memories and plenty of pictures, and highly recommend this tour.

We had an absolutely marvellous day in the Cotswolds. Our tour guide Ian was great and told us lots of interesting facts and anecdotes along the way. Our fellow travellers from the US and France also made the trip enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour. Best regards from two Norwegians from Bergen

A most enjoyable trip! The seven towns visited were well selected and captured, not just the charming chocolate-box idyll of the Cotswolds (no shortage of thatched cottages!) but it's unique history, linked to the wool trade and interestingly, to the English Civil War. Our excellent driver and guide, Ian, was a font of local knowledge, entertaining us with surprising stories not heard before. The trip involves a fair amount of walking so comfy shoes are a good idea.
