A day in the Cotswolds!

Great way to see the Cotswolds! Well paced, our guide, Eva was excellent, very informative and entertaining! Carlos R our driver got us into some tight spots safely! Our lunch at the Swan was excellent! A full day, but worth every penny!

Cotswolds day tour with lunch included ( Eva and Carlos)

My partner and I joined the Cotswolds day tour with lunch included last week, and our guide, Eva, along with our driver, Carlos, made it a truly wonderful day out. Eva used to be a teacher, and it really showed in the best way possible. She shared fascinating background stories and folklore about the places we visited, giving us such an engaging perspective on our surroundings. She wore a striking red trench coat on the day and looked just like Superwoman—spotting her in the crowd was instantly reassuring! Lunch was held at a lovely, upscale restaurant. My partner opted for the fish and chips, which came with a remarkably generous, fresh, and flavourful fillet. I had the ravioli, and it was equally delicious. Throughout the day, Eva was exceptionally warm, making an effort to chat with everyone and kindly offering to take photos for us outside the church. We absolutely loved her and genuinely hope to join another of her tours in the future.

We had an amazing tour...

We had an amazing tour guide and a very experienced driver. The Cotswolds were lovely with charming little towns. We ate a delicious lunch, visited churches and markets. All in all, it was a delightful day.

Lower than expected

Guided by James and Floren. Just the places are not as beautiful as expected but the lunch is nice.
