What a truly magnificent and wonderful day. Paul was an exceptionally good guide. He was personable and provided us with tons of information The stop times at all the Cotswold villages and in Stratford were the perfect amount to feel the flavor of the town without being rushed. Paul also did a great job of taking us to differing kinds of villages. I highly recommend this tour.

It is a very good value for money trip as it covers all of the scenic spots in Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon. The itinerary is very full packed. Paul is a very knowledgeable driver-guide as he shares lots of history and recent development of the area. The minibus is very comfy.

Our guide Paul was fantastic. Really knowledgeable of the area but doesn’t inundate you with factoids unless you seem interested and ask questions. The right amount of info was provided. Long day of touring small villages but worth every penny. Special day!
