Wonderful tour

seas0nalb, May 2026

Actually I did not have too much expectation on the tour, as it is only one day, it could not cover too much. I simply want to get a rough idea about Cotswold and accumulate some information for future visit again. But the experience is beyond my expectation. The scenery is nice and I even encounter the wind-walking activity, which is stunning. My interest is architecture and garden. The tour brought me to those one thousand years' old houses, old churches, grave yard, beautiful landscape ... That satisfied me well.

We enjoyed our experience with Martin on two tours first was the inspector Morris tour and second was the Cotswolds day tour. Martin was excellent in delivering information and answering questions in a succinct and engaging way. Just as importantly, he kept the tours moving at a crisp pace Highly recommended

Wonderful full-day tour of the Cotswolds

treehugger2018, May 2026

Enjoyed a wonderful outing to the Cotswolds, with tourguide Martin leading the way. Martin is not only a longtime resident of the Cotswolds but is quite knowledgeable about the history of the area as well as the nuances of the local culture, and he was quite willing to share that knowledge along the way. The small group size of the tour allowed for a free flow of conversation and questions during the tour. The tour van allowed us to travel the back roads and lanes of the region, allowing us to see what most of the larger tour buses would miss. Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your outing to the Cotswolds and that Martin helped make the experience so memorable. His deep knowledge of the region’s history, culture, and hidden gems truly adds something special to the tour, and we’re glad you appreciated the opportunity for conversation and questions throughout the day. We also love taking the quieter back roads and country lanes whenever possible, as they allow our guests to experience the authentic charm of the Cotswolds away from the larger crowds. Thank you again for your kind recommendation and we hope to welcome you back for another of our tours in the future!

Awesome experience

Absolutely lovely experience. Martin was a wonderful tour guide made more so by the fact that, not only was he extremely knowledgeable about the area and it’s history, he was a resident of the Cotswolds and really loved the country.

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable experience exploring the Cotswolds with Martin. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his personal connection as a local resident, truly helps bring the history, character, and beauty of the region to life. We’re especially pleased that his passion for the countryside and local culture came through during your tour. Thank you again for your kind words, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future for another wonderful tour!
