Our tour was spectacular. Chris was so knowledgeable and informative. He tailored the tour to our specific interests and his passion for what he does shone through in every detail. I can not recommend this tour enough. Because of its small size, it felt intimate and not rushed.

Lovely tour of all the small villages!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a great experience! My husband and I just traveled to England for a very short stay and were looking for something outside of the city; this was perfect. The weather was chilly though as it is February, so we dressed accordingly and did bring umbrellas with us just in case. We were only a group of 7, plus our driver. I think the group could go up to 16 people, but given the time of year I think there aren't as many tourists. We got to experience a lot of different stops that we had never seen before. With this also being a smaller coach, we got to drive through some little towns and areas that I know the larger buses and groups would have never been able to do. It was absolutely gorgeous seeing some of these little towns and the beautiful countryside. Overall the itinerary was on point with the stops and timing of the day. Our guide Andy was wonderful and very informative! The only bummer is that when we got to Oxford it was already getting late, so by the time we started the walking tour after the free time, it was dark out and started to rain. It just got pretty cold with the wind and rain, but obviously that's not the tours fault! Highly recommend this tour!

A great day and a small group!

Published on Jan, 2025

Val was an excellent driver and chimed in with information that was both interesting and little known. Tony was the perfect guide who took extra time to see to our needs, share historical facts, and relate them to today. We thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour of Oxford and only wish we could have seen it during daylight hours. 10/10 - do it again!
