- Sarah W1 contributionWe loved the trip to the cotswalds and Oxford. Samuel was a great tour guide and a very good driver- super informational and funny.

- greglL5276OZHonolulu, HI21 contributionsThis is a trip to the countryside (about 2 hours from London) to see the old, historical Cotswold. The houses are well preserved its like going back hundreds of years. The lunch was served in a very nice hotel surrounded by gardens and river.Written June 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bailey S2 contributionsGreat tour. Our guide, Jerry, was charming and informative. I would recommend this tour and would seek out Mad Max Tours for myself if I have the opportunity.Written June 6, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Camper40273199468Bengaluru, India1 contributionThis review is primarily about the tour guide. Let me state the obvious first. Cotswolds is magical. The experience, the visuals and the environment are amazing. I could spend my entire summer there, but I still want more. Oxford brings an awe. Looking at the old college building, I just wanted to come to Oxford and study again, even though I hate studying. It's worth going to these places.
The extra star in my review is simply for James, our tour guide. He was a delight. He had so many stories to share and he's a master storyteller. He never seems rushed or flustered. The best thing about him was that he seemed more interested in telling us about the places than in us knowing about the places. Wonderful person and guide. Highly recommended and if you got to change your date to get him as your tour guide? Worth it!Written June 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We read reviews beforehand, so we were prepared to be rushed around from place to place. It was a great way to see many sights as a day trip from London without worrying about navigation. Oliver made sure we saw everything we paid for and gave us some good laughs. Would highly recommend this tour as long as you are okay with moving quickly from spot to spot.Written June 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- petang19662 contributionsNick was an amazing tour guide. Full of personality and fun. It added an amazing touch to the beautiful Cotswold scenery, magic and history. Loved this experience and would highly recommend.Written June 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- edwina e1 contributionwould just like to say how happy we are with RobertG and Bill.. both of them were consummate professionals, Robert went above and beyond to explain history and make the places more interesting with stories and his humor. highly recommendedWritten June 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Aussie1954Australia6 contributions5 stars ***** Wonderful day in the beautiful Cotswolds. Martin was such a knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed his sense of humour and careful driving through the small villages and narrow lanes. Well paced tour with ample time in each area to explore - and sample the local specialities.Written June 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kevin O2 contributionsAndy is the best guide ever!! We had a blast and got to see all the highlights of the Cotswolds. I really enjoyed not having to drive on the opposite side of the road and try to find parking in all the towns. We're usually not one for group tours but this was so relaxing and stress free.Written June 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rebecca D7 contributionsOur guide, Stefan, was a delight. He was funny, knowledgeable, knew history, and had great commentary without going over the top.
Warwick Castle was a letdown after being there 25 years ago before it was turned into a theme park. To me, it has lost its charm.
Stratford upon Avon is a darling town, although again such a tourist hype. There was very little time to explore the old town or walk along the Stratford upon Avon. It was interesting to see Shakespeare‘s birthplace, but wish there was a little more time to explore the city.
The Cotswolds are beautiful but dont blink!
Oxford was fascinating. Loved all the info from Stefan. No time to explore but saw the highlights.
Our driver Tony was exceptional!Written June 4, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Secondly, the directions to the meeting place for the coach needs to say that you will be entering the bus station to go to the gate. Next, there were 3 different tours leaving at the same time & the tour assistants were basing their guide names by numbers while us passengers are basing the tours on the name. There were directing here & there. So, people were going to the wrong line or bus. There needs to be a better way of boarding the groups for their correct tours. Thanks to Christian our driver who got us where we needed to go and back to London safely in the rain. Our guide Zozo was great. Very informative and not boring. Only thing is sometimes the directions for meeting back at the coach were so fast and need to be reinforced. Other than that, Zozo was very entertaining.Written April 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael A3 contributionsOur tour guide Andy was fantastic in giving us a history lesson in all the places we visited. Our driver Andy was also very courteous. Would definitely recommend if you want a day trip to the Cotswolds outside London and if you don't feel like driving.Written June 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
