    In all, this tour is very recommended! We spent about 2.5h in Oxford, 40m in Bibury (it's really small), and 1h in Burford. Oxford had so many things to see and do though (shops, museums, colleges, cafes, etc.), so time should be planned wisely. Bibury was great for photos, and Burford had plenty of gift shops and places to eat. Our guide Graham, was awesome. He had interesting stories and facts to share about the locations during our drives between them. Before we arrived at a stop, he pointed out gift shops, restaurants, and great photo locations so we could save time. Thanks Graham! Notes: 16 Passengers, USB charging ports on the bus, and overhead bag storage. We also didn't hit heavy traffic during our trip.

    Our van driver, Jennifer, did a great job telling us about a variety of British historical facts along the way. You then see two Cotswolds towns and Oxford on your own. They provided us with a nice walking tour handout for Oxford. Would have been nice to see insider of one of the colleges, but we knew that wasn't included. I would highly recommend including this in a London vacation - it felt great to see the countryside and get out of the city.

    It was an amazing experience. Our guide (I think his name is Dan) was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He has great humor throughout our trip. I wish we had longer hours in Oxford (about 2h 15m), hoping we could spend more time in every tourist spot. In the meantime, we had an appropriate time in the Cotswold (1 hr) & Bibury (45 min). I definitely recommend this with Rabbi's tour.
