From start to finish this tour was excellent! Michael our tour guide was a top bloke and very knowledgeable. The five of us really enjoyed the day and were delighted with the stops and info given. Particularly enjoyable for Downton Abbey fans :) Scott our driver was also lovely. All in all, highly recommended!

Dewi was delightful, we enjoyed the Cogges Farm, he picked out the perfect pub for a wonderful lunch and allowed shopping time in Burford. Bampton was charming for a walkabout as well. Without a car and faced with driving on the "wrong" side of the road, this was the perfect alternative to see the Cotswold beauty.
