Paul was an excellent guide. He reversed pur route to avoid the afternoon crowds in the small villages. Paul was an excellent historian of the Cotswold Region and was quite receptive to questions. The small group tour was a great way to see the Cotswold! I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you so much for a great day Paul!

Kelly – United StatesMay 5, 2025 – Verified booking
Excellent little day trip through the English countryside! Really enjoyed stopping in some of the smaller Cotswolds villages like Snowshill, in addition to the larger, more tourist-y towns. Schedule was relatively fast-paced, but I felt like I had enough time at each stop to take photos and walk around a little. If you're looking for a historical Shakespeare tour, this is not the tour for you. But it's great for a short taste of Stratford-Upon-Avon. The tour guide, Paul, was super sweet. Appreciate the small tour group size. Overall, highly recommend.
