Our early Spring private driving tour of the Cotswolds was thoroughly enjoyable. Our guide and driver, Nick, picked us up at our hotel in Oxford, and provided an excellent discussion of Cotswold life and history on the way to the area. He took us to numerous quaint and colorful villages, including Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water, the Slaughters, Stow-on-the-Wold, and others, stopping for short strolls and in some places shopping expeditions, in several. Because we were in a car rather than a minibus bus or van, we were able to explore narrow lanes and backroads we might not otherwise have seen in the beautiful countryside. A Cotswold native, Nick was an interesting character and wonderful guide. If I have any criticism, it is that at times things seemed a bit rushed, but that was understandable because there is simply so much to see and explore in the Cotswolds. We highly recommend Nick and his tour!
