“My husband and I went on this tour on August 10th (Sunday) while visiting London. It would be impossible to truly "know" Oxford unless staying there for a bit... maybe a day or two! However, Nick gave us an amazing amount of information and made our time in Oxford "come alive." He was knowledgeable, humorous and helpful. I loved the fact he gave specifics of things we could do in our hour of free time in Oxford. My husband and I went into the Ashmoleon Museum (my husband had at least 30 minutes to look at the coinage section and LOVED it), which was very close to our pick-up point.…”

“Quick all in one tour. The time in Oxford goes super fast. You have tops 2 hrs total there. The stop in Bampton is really quite boring and you have to buy your picnic lunch in Oxford to eat there because there’s nowhere to buy there and then you have to eat at a random bench. Highclere castle is great. They have an Egyptian collection that you can see for an extra ticket if you’re interested. The tour guide and driver were good.”

“This is a perfect day out from London. There is much to see across all COTSWOLDS villages and in Oxford, so be prepared that this is just an overview to these places. But if you are short on time and want to venture outside of London, this is a great option. Our guide Flossy was lovely and bubbly and our driver Marius was funny and engaging.”
