Thank you so much for your lovely review of your Go Cotswolds tour, Janet!

We had an excellent tour of the Cotswolds yesterday with Mark who was very kind and knowledgeable. We appreciated getting free time in each town to walk around as well as the shopping and restaurant recommendations they provide. Thank you Mark!

Very good tour, not to be missed.

Bryant_H, Oct 2022

Our tour guide, Collin, was very knowledgeable about the history of the Cotswolds and had a genuine interest in preserving the unique nature and appearance of the Cotswolds. He commentary was sometimes humorous but always interesting. Very courteous and helpful to all participants. Always took the scenic roads rather than the quickest route to enhance your experience.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Lovely Cotswolds! Highly recommend this tour.

Nickolas_M, Oct 2022

This tour was one of the highlights of our UK trip. We stopped at several Cotswold villages and had time to walk around a bit to shop or have snacks or drinks. We took the train from Paddington and Mark, our tour guide. met us as we exited the station. Could not have asked for a better guide. Mark was great!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your lovely review of your Go Cotswolds tour, Nickolas! It was a pleasure to have you and Sandra on our tour and I'm so pleased to hear that you not only enjoyed your day with Mark, but that our tour was one of the highlights of your UK trip! Thank you for joining us- we hope you can take another tour with us some day!

Mark knows Cotswolds...

cinciaxtan, Oct 2022

Mark knows Cotswolds quite well and shares a lot of story and history. He’s a good guide and takes good care of everyone. I really like the pace of tour, not too long or too short as well as all arrangements

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your lovely review of your Go Cotswolds tour! All of our tour guides are local to the area, and Mark actually lives in Chipping Campden, which is one of the stops on our Cotswolds in a Day tour, so it's no wonder he knows it well! So pleased to hear that you enjoyed your day, and that you found the timings and pace to be just right.

Best way to see the Cotswolds!

Valerie_L, Oct 2022

The Go Cotswolds Tour was absolutely amazing! It was the best way to take in quite a few villages throughout the northern Cotswolds, such as Snowshill, Chipping Campden, Bibury, Stow-on-the Wold, Bourton on the Water and Dover’s Hill, site of the Cotswolds Olympicks! Who knew shin kicking was a sport! At any rate, Tom our guide was very informative and a lot of fun to tour with.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your lovely review of Go Cotswolds, Valerie! It was a pleasure to have you and Joseph on our tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you had an amazing day with Tom! Perhaps you will visit us again for the annual World Shin-kicking Championships next year!

The Best Tour You Can Book. ❤️

Alan_W, Sept 2022

The most most memorable item in this tour is the tour guide, Colin. He is very knowledgable about each part of the trip. From start to finish, the tour is organized, thoughtful, and client-centered. You feel comfortable whether you're with a group, or single. The stops are set up to give you time to explore, shop, grab a pint, or bite to eat. You will surely enjoy your day on this tour. It's a bargain considering how much you see, learn, and relax. Highly recommend. Deb and Alan from Virginia.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thank you so much for your lovely review Alan and Deb! It was a pleasure to have you on our tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you found Go Cotswolds to be organized, thoughtful and client-centered - that's mission accomplished for us! Although we sell tickets for our tours in various places, including Viator, we are a small family-run business, and we do what we do because we people, we love travel, and we love the Cotswolds. I'm so glad this shows :-)

Charming Cotswolds

Beverly_L, Sept 2022

If time is limited, this one day tour of the Cotswolds affords a wonderful look of sone charming villages.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thank you very much for your lovely review of Go Cotswolds, Beverly! It was a pleasure to have you, Claudia and Gwen on our tour last week. Of course it is impossible to see everything in the Cotswolds in one day, but our tour is designed exactly as you say: for people with limited time to explore and experience a selection of locations in the Cotswolds to showcase what this beautiful region is all about. So pleased you enjoyed it.

A great day in the Cotswolds

Deborah_G, Sept 2022

I had a wonderful day even though it drizzled, everyone had a great time. Our tour guide/driver Colin was very informative and accommodating. I only wish I had time to see even more.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thanks for your lovely review Deborah! I'm so pleased to hear that you had a great day with our super guide Colin! It sounds like you experienced some of England's famous drizzle... well, unfortunately there's not much we can do about the weather, but the Cotswolds is always beautiful, so I'm happy to hear that it didn't dampen your spirits or spoil your tour. Thank you for recommending Go Cotswolds to the Viator community - we really appreciate it!

The just what we wanted tour.

Gloria_S, Sept 2022

A great tour with our driver Colin. His narrative was fun and informative. The time spent in the various villages was just right. Never felt rushed or cheated for time.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

"The just what we wanted tour" - what a fabulous review title, thank you so much Gloria! I'm so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful day with Colin, and that you felt you had the right amount of time at each stop. We hope you can join us for another tour one day!

Perfect day with perfect tour company

Subhorov_R, Aug 2022

Perfect day spent with witty Mark. The tour was well organized and Mark being a local helped us witness a lot of local history and culture which otherwise would have missed. His suggestions on eateries and coffee were all all impeccable. The tour starts around 9.45 am and ends around 5 pm which is perfect for catching a train back to London. The only drawback I would highlight is the time spent in each town. Thats very limited and felt a bit rushed.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you so much for your 5 star review Subhorov! It was a pleasure to have you, Veera and Suresh on our tour yesterday, and I'm delighted to hear that you had a perfect day with our fabulous guide Mark. I completely agree that you need more time in each village - but on a one-day tour, time is something we are always short of! You could spend weeks and weeks exploring the Cotswolds and still not see it all, so hopefully we have inspired you to come back and visit our beautiful region again some day :-)

Cotswolds at its best!

Caren_S, Aug 2022

Mark is an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our trip through the Cotswolds and learned so much about this beautiful area in Great Britain!

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thanks for your lovely 5 star review Caren! It was a pleasure to have you and Bob on our Go Cotswolds tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you learned a lot from our super guide Mark! We hope you can join us again one day!

Highly recommended

Ashley_C, Aug 2022

I would Highly recommend this tour, its a great way to see the cotswolds in a day without all the hassle of driving are guide mark was fantastic friendly knowledgeable and couldn't do enough for everyone, plenty of time at each village we really enjoyed are day!

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Wow, thank you for the lovely review Ashley! I'm so pleased to hear that you had a great day with our super guide Mark, and that you found you had plenty of time at each village you stopped at. Thank you for taking the time to recommend Go Cotswolds on Viator!

Mini tour Cotswolds

Karen_O, Aug 2022

Loved the out of the way places. Guide very knowledgeable. Very relaxing day. Beautiful views Restful stops with food and shopping.

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thank you for your lovely review of your Cotswolds in a Day tour, Karen! It was a pleasure to have you, Katherine and Charlton on our tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you had a very relaxing day. Thank you for recommending Go Cotswolds to the Viator community!

Highlight of our trip!

Barb_E, Aug 2022

The Cotswolds are lovely and seeing the area on a private tour was a great option so we did not have to drive ourselves or find parking, which is quite limited. Mark was a great tour guide, very informative and personable. Shout out as well to Russell James, who works for Viator. Due to a rail strike the day we were coming into the Cotswolds, Russell spent over half an hour trying to find a solution for us to get into town from London. He went above and beyond!

Response from Host, Sept 2022

Thank you very much for your very kind review, Barb! It was a pleasure to have you and Mike on our tour - though I will correct you on one small point: it was not a private tour, but our small-group tour. Still, with a maximum of only 16 people in our groups, it may feel like a personal tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you had a great day with Mark! The rail strikes were a challenge, and if you had booked with Go Cotswolds, we could've given you that personal assistance with the benefit of our local knowledge. I'm pleased to note that there are some helpful staff at Viator though!
