It was good! The tour was really more to get to the Cotswolds, and our guide was just okay. Not a ton of energetic commentary like we have come to known from Golden Tours. You get to see three Cotswolds villages, each for about 2 hours each. We found ourselves strapped for things to do once in the villages by ourselves, as our guide didn't really give recommendations. It was good to see, do, and now I can say that I've been to the Cotswolds, but I wouldn't go again.

I wanted to visit the Cotswolds from Oxford, so I found one in Agoda and applied. The Cotswolds are hard to get to without a car, so having a tour helped. Our guide Peter was very fun and was able to get around efficiently on the big bus. I think the last time I spent at Boughton-on-the-Water, it could have been two hours.
Wonderful villages, beautiful viestiä and excellent service. Our guide Mårten was great! I would recommend this trip to everyone!
