We'll end our tour with a visit to Stow-on-the-Wold, a bunch of pretty courtyards and antique shops around the old market square. Stow has been a trading centre in the Cotswolds for centuries and was the site of the last battle of the English Civil War in 1646. It is also home to 'England's Oldest Pub'!!
First we will stop in the small town of Burford, one of the most unchanged medieval towns in England with many buildings that are more than 500 years old. You will be able to visit the local historic church (if no weddings or ceremonies), walk down the main street and explore the town.
Then we will head to Bibury, known as the most beautiful village of England. Also known from the Stardust movie. Walk along the river and have a photoshoot at Arlington Row, a collection of cottages that are now one of the symbols of the Cotswolds. Enjoy free time to explore the charming village.
We will continue to the picturesque town of Bourton-on-the-Water. Allow enough time to walk along the river and its small villages, admire the stone houses and have lunch. You will have a chance to visit the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum (£6.75 Entry for Adults) or visit the Model Village (£4.50 Entry for Adults).
Daniel has knowledge of history. He told many stories and those were interesting! He is happy to give plenty of tips about the each towns for tour members, sometimes just passengers too. I enjoyed the trip a lot by his wonderful recommendations. I have partipated several tours in the UK, and I think he is the best guide!
Olga was a good tour guide and the driver gave us a good experience and safe journey. Cotswolds with its 800 miles of rolling hills, and unspoilt country side, picturesque villages, churches, market towns, castles, country house, cottages, gardens and arboretum were gorgeous and a breath of fresh air. Thank you for a nice enjoyable day in the Cotswolds.
It was a wonderful experience. As a solo female traveller, it was very safe and fully enjoyable. Special thanks to the guide Olga and Driver Uncle. They’re such warm, polite, and genuinely happy people! Olga kept everything engaging and seamless, while Driver Uncle ensured every ride was smooth and comfortable. I felt completely secure and cared for throughout. 10/10 recommendation!
Great & magical places/ views, the guide was a very informative one… Micha is a live history book!!! Highly recommend this trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoy the trip. The guide tour Daniel is very knowledgeable. The only negative feedback would be the van that is quite small. The seat is small to me and the seatbelt is hard to fasten. Overall, I enjoy the experience the time to spend at each village is good.
Beautiful scenery, but too many tourists.
Very informative and Olga took us to every place and gave information and facts. She let people do what they wanted but also offer to stay walk with her for a mini tour. Which was amazing. Also was very critical and friendly.
Very informative,bus was clean, villages amazing
We booked this tour based on great reviews about the guides, but were quite disappointed. Our guide lacked energy and spoke in a monotone voice, often seeming to read from her phone. Outside, she also started speaking before everyone had gathered, so we frequently missed parts of the explanation. She never introduced herself so I do not know her name. Overall, we didn’t enjoy the experience, although the Cotswolds itself is beautiful and worth a visit :)
We had a great day tour and everything ran smoothly. Danial was friendly and informative, especially when explaining places. Would recommend.
Daniel was an excellent guide! He knew the history and recommendations for each town. Beautiful towns to explore. He also sprinkled in lesser known facts and current knowledge of the area. And he was a lot of fun and thoughtful of the participants' needs. The driver was also great navigating traffic and narrow roads.
The wonders of the old world saved by time for us living in the present times to experience and enjoy.
Small coach - seatings too tight Bookings for 2 can’t get to sit together.. perhaps assigned seats so no argument . Single booking should seat in single seat thus allowing doubles to get a double seat . Service provider should know this on outset. Midway a disgruntled customer decided to change seat without informing anyone, thus caused unnecessary uproar and the guide needs to mediate - ???
The bus is cramped. Very tight. For a bus tour, you will walk A LOT. We walked 7+ miles. A bit much for seniors. The guide was knowledgeable. The different towns were lovely but somewhat redundant. Beautiful country side, but more activity than this senior needed.
This is a day long tour, it's arranged well; as you become tired you will need to walk less and the meal time is in the village with better choices. Misha is knowledgeable about the villages and genuinely wants you to have a good experience.
It’s a relaxing day. The pace is about right for a group outing. Bring water, umbrella and snacks. But there is plenty to eat along the way.
It was a very well organised trip. The views of countryside were awesome. Bourton on the water was the cherry on the cake. Our guide Misha was amazing. Always smiling, guiding us with pieces of history and so well informed. Overall an excellent trip.
The villages were gorgeous, the guide Olga was great, the driver as good, everything was well organized for the tour, we had time for each village. BUT we had some massive issues with the bus and it ruined everything : the AC did not work at all, and the company knew it before the tour (I've heard the driver talking about it). It was 31/32°C outside, and without AC, and no air at all (nothing), it was 40°C degrees in the bus !! It was like being trapped in an oven, we were all feeling unwell, and at 10 am I was scared to collapse. The guide said that the AC was not working when the temperatures were too high, so what's the AC for ? She kept saying "it will work after 5 minutes" but it never worked. They should have never maintained the tour with this heat, they are lucky nobody had a heatstroke. At the end of the day, when it was cooler outside, it was still 33°C inside the bus ! This is irresponsible. I felt dizzy and unwell the next days, and that's because of the bus. I will never trust this company anymore.
Beautiful locations. Good mix of information and time to explore. The ride was comfortable and pleasant.
Misha was an amazing tour guide. He was funny and informative. The bus was very comfortable. Misha kept us on time for all the cities. Made sure we saw the important sites. I would highly recommend this trip.
The tour was very relaxing and each of the villages were beautiful! Ivan did an excellent job of showing us the basics and then allowing for time to explore on our own. A lovely way to see the Cotswolds!
The tour guide needs to chat with guests as they are on their way. Our guide didn’t say a peep for almost 2 hours into the tour. Read the script and although he was nice, it was a poor tour. Tour guides need to speak loud. Didn’t know any facts about the locations.
Should give people warning about needing a full charge on their phone or bringing a charger to download the map for the days travels. Daniel did a great job with telling the history and pointing things out as we went along.
Although the weather was not very cooperative as it was raining the whole day, we still had a great time exploring the Cotswolds. Both the tour guide and the driver were very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.
Very well organized. Daniel, the guide, very knowledgeable and willing to convey interesting information. Much more convenient than the organized tours in London
It was a perfect trip. Daniel was engaging and knowledgeable about each town we toured. He gave up ample time and several suggestions at each stop. He made sure everyone had his number so no one got left behind. Great experience
I had a wonderful experience in the Cotswolds, guided by Daniel's exceptional knowledge and recommendations. He made the trip truly memorable with perfectly organized visits to picturesque villages and stunning landscapes. I highly recommend Daniel's guidance to anyone planning a visit!
Wonderful experience - Really worth the money. David is an amazing guide! Will totally recommend and book in future.
I enjoyed my trip and it was just as described :) Daniel the tour guide was very knowledgeable, and had a lot to share about each town/village.
Nice experience and the guide, Daniel, was great. Definitely recommended for a day trip on a weekend
I enjoyed every part of this tour. Far exceeded my expectations. Daniel was an excellent tour guide, very kind, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. I will definitely go on other tours organised by this company anytime I'm in Birmingham.
It was most amazing trip especially with the guide Daniel. Its of more hospitality and I suggest choosing PERLYNY tours especially..
Our guide Daniel was great! Seeing the countryside and meeting all the lovely people was a highlight! A long day but worth the comfortable ride to see this stunning area. Thank you.
A fun and interesting trip, the crew is very friendly and cooperative Many thanks for everything, sure I will back again
Relaxing, picturesque. Perfect day outing. Great guide and driver. Good balance of guided time and free time.
A convenient way to get to see beautiful Cotswolds. Value for money if you consider time to get to these places in a day. Highly recommended!
Our tour guide was the best! We had a great and fun time. Awesome info and views. Loved the quiz at the end on the trip back to Birmingham, so fun!
Very nice and interesting tour in Cotswold area. Good guidance and exciting descriptions of the guide.
The excursion is very good since the villages are pretty. The guide explained everything in English and did not know Spanish, so it was difficult for me to follow the entire explanation. It wouldn't hurt to prepare some brochures or instructions for pickups, places to eat, or details of interest for each village in the contracted languages. They send a brief summary of the history written in Spanish to the mobile phone.
Fun and competent guide and good bus driver Nice tour. We can definitely recommend it.
The tour is really well organized, they are 11 hours all full and worth the price paid. Special mention should be given to our guide, young Misha, who despite his very young age has proved fully capable of handling 17 people from different countries. Very prepared, extremely organized and also nice, very good!!!
The tour is wonderful and the guide extremely attentive and always ready to solve problems. But be punctual because as it is said, punctuality is British and they don’t wait for you. In my case, I arrived 10 minutes late and they didn't wait for me. The good thing was that he transferred the tour to another day and I didn't lose my money. I also think it is a very long walk, although it is summer, everything closes at 16:00, so I wonder what the purpose of staying until so late? We arrived at Bourton on the water almost 14:30. and still went to visit some places before and receive information. I needed to eat before I went to any attraction. All crowded because it was Sunday... Conclusion, I was only able to refer to the attraction I wanted to see almost at 16:00 (Birds in the Garden). I got there at 16:05. It was closed at 4:00... Then it's all very smooth. Besides, I was not interested in the other attractions that probably also closed at 16:00. And there was another village to visit. I left in the middle of the tour and took an Uber to return pro hotel. Of course, I was injured but I didn't want to get back at 21:00 at the meeting point that was downtown and a bit of a dangerous place... Besides, as I said before, I saw no purpose in visiting another village if it all closes at 4:00. But ⁇ it is a suitable company, the tour is beautiful and the guide very attentive and with a lot of knowledge about the history of the villages.
