Such a delightful day!

Zozo and Joanne took great care of us on our Cotswold tour today. We enjoyed the charming towns as well as the pleasant ride through the country. If only we had more time to spend in the area. The coach was comfortable, and Zozo was so knowledgeable. He made the history come alive with facts and stories we wouldn’t have learned on our own. I researched a lot of Cotswold tours on Viator and TripAdvisor before choosing this one. Our whole group was pleased with the choice, and I’ve been elected to choose our tours moving forward, lol. This was so much better than another day in the busy city!! 2 tips for potential travelers: We were able to book last-minute the night before (most tours didn’t allow that). And the lunch add-on was definitely worth it — tasty food, beautiful venue, and it was nice getting to know the others we traveled with for the day. 1 item of feedback for the tour planner: Would really love to see some of the thatched roof homes during the drive (or perhaps the coach was too large for those roads?) Such a delightful day!

Amazing trip to Cotswold

I had a really amazing time. Joanne drove the coach and a very good driver and really nice and friendly. Zozo our tour guide was phenomenal. I was blown away by the wealth of history knowledge he has and from the start of the trip to the end he was very engaging, interactive and really funny and it made the trip really exciting. I was so inspired that im going to start reading more of British history. Meetup, pickup and drop-off was easy a d prompt. We had enough time to enjoy tge guided tour round the different villages in cotswold, take pictures and wander round. Thank you Zozo and Joanne.
