View on Google MapsWe had a lovely full day tour out of Southampton, taking in 5 beautiful Cotswald villages, commencing with Bibury and ending with Burford. Our tour guide and driver, Ian, was very knowledgeable providing details of the history of these villages and sites of significance. The tours and visits were well organized and nicely paced. It was a lovely day trip!
Our guide Ian showed us around the Cotswolds in a clean, comfortable vehicle and provided wonderful commentary about the area and its history and culture. He was very receptive to our questions and was the consummate guide. We visited Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water, Lower Slaughter, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Burford and had ample time to wander about in each location. Because we mentioned that we are fans of Downton Abbey, he kindly substituted Bampton as our final stop that day. The itinerary was perfect as each lovely village was different from the one before so the entire day was interesting and memorable. I cannot recommend Ian and Southampton Tours highly enough.

Our tour was originally scheduled for Saturday but we were notified on Thursday that the original driver was became unavailable so we were asked if rescheduling for Sunday would be OK. That was a bit disappointing because the weather Saturday was forecast much better than Sunday, but we agreed. Sunday, indeed, was rainy and that was a but disappointing. But enough about the weather. Our driver was prompt, safe, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and provided a great tour complete with history, and local stories ranging from English history to Russian spies to Nazi scandals all giving us a connection to this beautiful part of the world. He told us what a "Marmite thing" is and I have discovered that I am pro-Marmite. Due to the rescheduling, the tour company treated us to a great Sunday Dinner at a beautiful Inn. These are all great memories contributing to why we travel.
Great day spent with our guide Andrew. We loved visiting the Cotswold, this area is very beautiful! Andrew was very knowledgeable, and made the trip fun! Highly recommended! Thank you Andrew for a wonderful day!
We had a private two day tour of the Cotswolds and nearby areas with Marcus from Cotswolds Tours and Travel. He was an amazing guide in his knowledge, sense of humor and flexibility in our 2 days of travel with him. Among the places we visited were Stratford, Blenheim, and Bletchley. Each was interesting and at times spectacular. At all stops and on the way, Marcus provided us with bits of history about the area and countryside. On a few occasions he introduced us to some interesting sites in the area. Thanks, Marcus

Ian was such a great guide! Very friendly and informative. We will definitely be getting in touch with him when we come back.
We had a very wonderful day in the cotswolds in July 2023. Our guide was Ian. He was very informative and we explored the cotswolds at a leisurely pace and enjoyed a fish and chip lunch at one of the local restaurants. We recommend this tour- great value and absolutely worth seeing. everything was A1. Chony family from Canada
