We had an amazing time with our guide Ash. I can truly say everything was perfect. His driving was excellent and his people skills outstanding. He ensured that everyone had the best day possible. His commentary was well done and he has a good and appropriate sense of humour. If I could rate this tour 10 out of five I would. I lost a cashmere scarf on the tour and both Paul and Ash went out of their way to help me successfully retrieve it. It’s so rare that people care about small things like that. The owner Paul and Ash truly care about people. We did the two day tour and enjoyed our stay in the quaint cottages. I highly recommend them.
Terrific day with Lucy touring Stratford-on-Avon, the Cotswolds and Oxford! Lucy shared a wealth of historical information that made the trip far more interesting, and the day offered plenty of opportunities to explore on your own or as part of the group. Highly recommend!
The Cotswolds tour was fantastic. We saw so much more than we every would have seen driving on our own and we learned so much history along the way. The 2-day tour was perfect for Stratford Upon Avon / Cotswolds. Do visit Anne Hathaway's cottage in Stratford and Shakespeare's birthplace in addition to the charming village. Highly recommended. Paul is a very kind and accommodating host. He arranged for us to stay an additional night at the cottage and helped with storing our bags for the day. He was very responsive and professional. I traveled with my mother (77) and daughter (18); everything was very comfortable for the 3 of us, and we all enjoyed it. If you have time, see a play at the RSC in Stratford, well worth it (not part of this tour).
From start to finish this tour beginning in Moreton-on-Marsh and ending in Stratford on Avon was outstanding . Paul, our driver and owner of the Company provided an excellent commentary as he drove us on a well organized trip through : Burton on the Water, Chipping Camden, Stow on the Wold, as well as Burberry( Arlington Row) and Snowhill( Lavender Fields) and the Broadway Tower. He allowed us ample time to explore each of our destinations. As part of the tour… accommodations were provided for the 4 a f us in a quaint cottage style home in Stratford. In addition, passes to see the Shakespeare home and attractions for the following day. At the end of day 2, Paul picked us up at our cottage drove us back to Moreton on Marsh to catch our train to Oxford and then London. He was a personable and a fun guide who related well to both my 90 year old mom and my 30 something daughters. I highly recommend this tour with Paul!

The Shakespearean performances were captivating, bringing the Bards works to life in a way that left us spellbound. We explored fascinating historical sites, each with its own story to tell, adding depth to our journey. Our excellent tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, making the experience even more memorable. This tour was a perfect blend of romance and history, creating memories we will cherish forever.
