It was a full day but we were glad to see everything in the area. The guide gave us a lot of interesting information.

Absolutely fantastic tour! Guide was great! Would have loved a tour of the Cotswolds but I guess there is only so much one can do in a day! Would highly recommend

Very disappointing day. Very rushed. Very little commentary. No map. No time to enter Anne Hathaway's cottage. Rushed through Cotswalds villages. Could not recommend.

We felt very rushed through the tour. Our driver was entertaining and informative and quite speedy! The walking tour of Oxford was very informative but again very short. It was a full day.
