The tour was the perfect size the perfect stops. Our guide was humorous, helpful, and knowledgeable. Just the right amount for an introduction to the Cotswold.

Our family, which included 3 adults (one senior) and 3 children, scheduled a private tour of the Cotswolds with Ian this past March. We had a fantastic experience and Ian helped me create a custom itinerary for my family that gave us a true feel of these beautiful villages. Because we wanted to see a couple extra sights, Ian was accommodating to our request to pick us up at the train station, then made arrangements with us to drop us back at our hotel in London. Unfortunately the morning we were to arrive, there was a fire on one of the train lines and all trains from Paddington were canceled. Ian was able to quickly regroup with us and make other arrangements so we could still meet and still maximize our day - we so appreciated not only his flexibility but his advice on what to see, where to spend more time and how to get in the sites important to us throughout the day. I didn't know about some of the sites he suggested and we were thankful for his recommendations. We had a beautiful day despite rain, and highly recommend this tour for its tailored experience. Thank you Ian!

Had a wonderful experience touring villages with Ian. His stories made the area’s history come alive as he pointed out things we would have missed on our own. Just enough info with time to wander on our own. Another plus was we visited villages a larger tour coach would have been too large to manage. He was punctual, and despite having unexpected traffic detours he remained on schedule and unruffled. The best way to end our visit to London.
