We had an amazing day out in the Cotswolds. We have never been on a day tour before, so was completely new experience for us and great to get out of London for the day. Really smooth experience from the start, at the meeting point Urban Baristas we were checked in by Glenn and shown to our minibus. Our driver guide was Len who was friendly, knowledgeable and a fantastic driver. We loved travelling through the country lanes. There was so many beautiful views and it felt like the tour was full of hidden gems that you were lucky to see.
The minibus was really comfortable, with air conditioning and even charging ports. They came in handy after a day of taking pics!
If you never carry money, we would definitely recommend taking small change for toilets as the public toilets charge 40p in Stow on the Wold. Luckily for us Len had plenty of small change he could share with the passengers - that made it easier.
We really enjoyed the time to walk around the villages, explore the shops, and beautiful scenery. Len told us lots of funny and intriguing stories about the places we visited.
We would definitely recommend this tour, it is a real contrast to the busy cities and shows a side of UK that you only see on social media.
Thank you LEN and Go Tours

The Small-Group Cotswolds Tour (From London) by Go - Tours was fantastic. The mini bus only held 16 passenger, the drive come knowledgeable tour guide and entertainment office was great. The time spent in each location was enough for the sites we had to get around. The location we went, the bigger buses could not have got too on the single lane roads. The time allowed at each location was up to the individual passengers to explore as they see fit as long as you were back by the appointed time for departure to the next location.

Our guide Len was excellent! Seeing the English countryside and weaving through small towns and fields dotted with sheep and cattle was a feast for the eyes. Len made sure that it was informative as well, throwing in anecdotal stories and some history as well.

My wife and I are visiting London for a week. Of course we’ve been very busy doing all the normal tourist things that inevitably require a lot of walking. This Cotswold small group tour was the perfect way to relax, get off our feet and be introduced to the beautiful countryside not far from London.
Our tour guide Chris was informative, friendly and always ready to answer any questions. The bus was spotless and comfortable. The whole day was planned very well. The countryside is gorgeous. Chris even had a playlist of English bands that he played when he wasn’t on the mic. It was a nice touch.
We’d recommend this trip without hesitation. It was a lovely addition to our itinerary.

Had a fantastic time at The Cotswolds. Our driver James was a very excellent driver and informative without information overload. Being on a smaller bus made the navigation of the narrow rodes so much easier. James gave us a set time at each town to explore on our own. That was really nice. A long day trip from London, but well worth it. Beautiful countryside.

We had a wonderful time exploring the stunning Cornish and Cotswold area.
The bus was comfortable and the size of the tour was small enough to get to know each other comfortably.
Our driver guide Dave was very personable and added to the experience.
I would recommend this tour to others
