We started the tour promptly on time because Paul our driver was excellent at being where he said he’d be when he said he’d be there! We went to three of our requested places in the Cotswolds and made it back to London in time to do dinner at the Shard! A great day indeed! Paul was also very knowledgeable about the area, England’s history and any other question we had! But the best part, on our way back we were quite sleepy and he didn’t try to keep chatting! He let us have a cheeky nap! It was a perfect 5/5 trip!
Hi Sandy So glad the two of you had such a great day, it was a pleasure showing you the Cotswolds and thank you so much for the 5*
Paul took us out for a great day in the Cotswolds. We loved all the extra space in the black cab so we were not cramped on the long ride. The conversation was plentiful and interesting. We never felt rushed but Paul made sure we got to all the stops on our list. Look no further for a great guide to the Cotswolds!
so glad you had a great time! I loved the day with you all, even the language lesson on the journey home, I still have a chuckle to myself thinking about it and thank you so much for the 5*, hope to see you all soon for my next lesson!
Our family scheduled a Private Black Cab Tour with Paul and spent the day travelling around the Cotswolds. Amazing day! Paul knew the area well and made sure that we had a great time. He also chose a fantastic lunch spot and we even drove to the Windsor Castle on the way back to our hotel since we had not visited that landmark yet. He was polite and we had great conversation! Highly recommend this tour with Paul! Jeff
Jeff, thank you for the great review, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you all and I am so glad you enjoyed the day, thankfully we managed to get a lot under our belt before the weather decided to turn against us!
Our guide William was simply perfect. Deep knowledge and matched our pace and curiosity. Highly recommended.
Hi Ron, so glad you had a great day with Bill, and thank you for leaving us such a great review
Paul welcomed us with enthusiasm just as soon as he greeted us at pick up. He was not only prompt, courteous, and on point with his knowledge of history but he was exceptionally witty and entertaining! He guided us through the Cotswolds with ease, while sharing so many details of its history along with little interesting stories about Cotswold life. We then went on to Oxford where he swept through teaching us so much in his brilliant and charming manner! Highly recommend Paul! He was a complete JOY! Highlight of our trip to England!
Thank you so much for such lovely words, as I said on the day, it was an absolute pleasure meeting you both and spending the day with you both, I am just so happy to have given you the day that you had wished for!
This tour was super! Our guide Paul was as good as they get. Hotel pick up and out to the countryside for a beautiful scenic tour. He pre-planned lunch for us at the perfect spot. Enjoy!
Hi, I am so glad the 3 of you had such a great time, it was probably the best way to wind down after the exertions of Sunday!!! and thank you so much for the lovely review
We were picked up right in front of our central London hotel. Will, our driver was very knowledgeable of the history of the entire tour of our 2 stops in the Cotswolds and Oxford. He did a great job driving us there and back and tried to get as much into the full day as he could. Traffic getting there and back is so time consuming was only drawback but not his or this excursion fault at all. We highly recommend this tour if you want to see some of the earliest eras of England
Hi Mark, thank you so much for the 5* review, I knew you would have a great time with Will,
William was an amazing guide! He was so knowledgeable and also a pleasure to be with. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed our day with him and seeing Oxford and the Cotswolds. He also did a great job of personalizing the trip to our family.
Hi Lindsay, thanks for the fantastic review! I knew you would have a great time with Bill

thank you Matt, it was an absolute pleasure spending the day with you guys and definitely this is the Lions time, hunting them down one by one!! 😏
We had an amazing day in the Cotswolds. Paul was wonderful. He has an amazing range of knowledge and brought the history of the places we visited to life. He showed us some truly beautiful villages. One of the best tour guides we have had the pleasure to meet. Can’t recommend this tour enough.
Hi Lorraine, thank you for such a lovely review, I was an absolute pleasure being in your company, and I hope you had a great time on the remainder of your vacation, hopefully see you again in the future
