Great trip! Relaxing mood and a good taste of what the Cotswolds are like. Worth going back and spending more time in some areas like Burton-on-the-Water. Nice weather makes the experience. Lunch was nice, and great tour guide.

We saw 3 wonderful villages and 1 beautiful town all in 1 day. The weather even co-operated and it only rained when we were in the coach. The driver was amazing on those narrow roads and the guide was conversing fluently in English and Japanese. They were very helpful and a delight to travel with.

Bidberry was a truly special place and the guide took us on a scenic path along a creek. The lunch was delicious and we had enough time to enjoy. Did some shopping in Borton on the Water. Never felt rushed.

What a delightful way to spend the day! Our tour guide was amazing and our driver was excellent. The sights of the fields in bloom, the thatched roof cottages, the historic old towns and churches. This is a great tour to see the English countryside. Should be noted that you don't spend a great deal of time in Stratford upon Avon, but I'd recommend other tours if that's what you want to do. I'd highly recommend this tour to others unfamiliar with this area of England.

Wonderful itinerary, fantastic guide, and great tour mates. This was really one of the highlights of our vacation, even with rain and drizzle!

The Cotswolds villages chosen were so beautiful, and the lunch was good, as was the guide. We had a very enjoyable day without trying to cram too much into it.

Wonderful time. Well organized. I would have skipped Burton on the Water and spent more time in Birbey and in Strafford Upon Avon. The first stop was the very best and more time to see the Swan Hotel would have been fun. But given the opportunity to see the beautiful old country villages of England was so inspiring. It just didn't look real but it was! Tour guide was fabulous. This ended up being a bilingual tour-the guide spoke Japanese a lot. I would have preferred a full English only tour. That should have been made known during the reservations. Be sure to ask if the tour is bilingual if hearing another language would be annoying to you during the guiding.

It was raining hard, which was not Viator's fault of course, and the rain limited the walking-around time in some of the towns we visited.

We had a good time seeing the English countryside. Our travel guide was very knowledgeable and polite, even when we got stuck in traffic. It was nice to not have to worry about the small details like transportation and food all day.

Too much time was spent on the bus. The last stop in the Cotswolds could probably be skipped, and the afternoon tea at Shakespeare's house was disappointing. Also, the fact that commentary is given in Japanese and English was painful as we seemed to spend a lot of time standing around waiting for instructions. Overall, the trip felt like it was a school excursion.

This trip was cancelled and we were not contacted about the change until the bus arrived to pick us up. I had confirmed the trip two days earlier and gave them my cell phone number in case of any changes. The representative then told us that only two other trips were running that day. We decided on one that went to Warwick Castle, Oxford and Stratford, but we did not get to walk around any of the towns in the Cotswolds, which was our main goal. Our guide was wonderful, but we were disappointed and could not reschedule for another day.

The first part of the tour was great. More time could have been spent in the little village that was our first stop. The lunch at the inn was very good. Stratford Upon Avon could have been bi passed completely. Very commercialized with one shop just like the other. Would rather have gone to another little village instead.
Reviewed by: David W, United States of America, August 2007
The guide provided little commentary about the area and towns we visited. The lunch was fair and probably overpriced. We got almost no time at all at any of the towns included. Take another trip instead.
