Nice

Published on May, 2025

Fred is a nice and professional tour guide. The bus is comfortable. Although today is cold and cloudy, Cotswolds are still good places to visit.

Definitely worth a visit

Published on Apr, 2025

Great tour to experience the highlights of Cotswolds in a day. Our tour guides Fred and Martin were energetic and knowledgeable, and the tour would be perfect if they could share more history or information at our last 2-3 stops to bring those places to life!

A must-do!

Published on Mar, 2025

We had an amazing time on our recent tour, thanks to our wonderful guide, Fred! He was incredibly personable and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The tour bus was a brand-new Mercedes, which was comfortable and spacious, and the group size was perfect—just enough to make it feel intimate but still social. The stops along the way were absolutely beautiful, and we had just the right amount of time at each location to explore on our own. If there was a specific site we hadn't gotten to, Fred would kindly take us there, ensuring we didn’t miss anything. His knowledge of the places we visited was impressive, and his insights added a lot to the experience. What we loved most was how easy and stress-free the whole tour was. Since we don’t drive, this tour was the perfect way for us to see areas we otherwise would have missed. It was so convenient being based out of Oxford, too, as it made everything more accessible. Overall, it was a fantastic tour—relaxed, informative, and hassle-free. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore with ease and a bit of local knowledge! Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Wonderful Day

Published on Jun, 2019

Mark was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the area and history of England. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him exploring the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace. Please check upon booking what tickets if any are included in the price of the day. We had to buy the Blenheim Palace tickets on top of the tour price which made it a good bit more expensive than we had planned for at the onset of our trip. Other than that, it was wonderful.

One of the best tours I've ever been on!

Published on Apr, 2019

Dr. Mark Merrony took a small group of us around the Cotswolds and to Blenheim Palace. The trip was incredible! Mark is extremely knowledgeable of the Oxford area and personalized the trip to take us to some of his favorite places. He answered our questions the whole time. The small nature of the trip makes it truly memorable and fun. My sister and my friend and I think it was one of the best trips we've ever been on. We hope to go on another tour with Mark soon!
