    I highly recommend this tour to visitors in London. Our guide I can’t remember his name now picked us on time at meeting point and he was very nice and friendly. He informed us about London too besides Oxford and costwolds. Costwolds and Bibury are definitely the must see places.

    The small group size has made the entire trip very much comfortable. The coach was very comfortable, the guide is also the driver, so expect the driver to talk while driving, without engaging much with the travellers. A very good introductory trip to Oxford, we were given about 2 hours in Oxford to walk around and explore, also a walking guide map which was helpful.

    If you want to see Oxford and the Cotswolds, this is the tour to take! Our tour guide Graham was amazing, and made the day so enjoyable. Just a note, make sure to book separate tickets ahead of time for the Christ Church Cathedral in Oxford if you wish to see the great hall.
