Top Oxford Shore Excursions

We had a great day with Nick. He has lived in the Cotswolds his entire life and knows the best places and best way to avoid the crowds. He bent over backwards to make our day great. We arranged a pickup at our hotel which was a bit out of the way and were able to arrange it for a small additional charge

John was absolutely amazing!! We had the best day, and he was very knowledgeable!!!

Enriching and educational tour of historic city, with ample information over its roots and foundations

Excellent background for an Oxford visit from a qualified and experienced historian. So much of interest!

We enjoyed our day with Rian (Ryan). He picked us up from the hotel on time, the ride was comfortable and we got to Stonehenge and Bath as scheduled. We had a wonderful time driving with him, chatting and laughing. He was knowledgeable and attentive. We are very pleased with the service we received -- it was a fabulous day!

We had a most amazing time is Cotswolds this summer. What a place to visit! Our Tour guide was knowledgeable and simply outstanding. Highly rated please to book this company.

We had a fun day with David P., visiting Stratford-Upon Avon (Shakespeare's birthplace and Anne Hathaway's house). He also found us some Telephone box LFLs which we mentioned would be fun to see. There was a book about the Finnish rally driver Kimi Räikkönen, which was a bit of an omen as we then noticed we might be running late for the next part of the trip, Severn Valley steam train (on that day diesel due fire risk). We chased the train through small villages and caught it at the third station, but on hindsight I think we saw more from the car which was lovely and cool, because when we got to the train it was like a steam sauna (+38C outside and even more inside) and travelled in a ditch, surrounded by bushes. David P. met up with us again at the other end and remembered we hadn't had lunch (in that heat you didn't really feel hungry). So, lunch we had and continued to Chester, which was our last pitstop for this leg of our Amazing Race. David managed to find us another LFL from Chester, before leaving us at the hotel. When you are just three people in a car for several hours, it does matter that your driver is somebody who not only drives a car, but knows the area, tells interesting stories and is flexible in changing situations.

Ryan was prompt and considerate. We traveled comfortably and Ryan’s knowledge of the area was not only impressive but he was able to quickly change the itinerary to avoid villages that were being overrun by big tour busses. We had a different tour on a small bus booked but the operator cancelled days before our scheduled tour because there weren’t enough participants. I’m so thankful this happened because we were able to experience the Cotswolds in an elevated experience that wouldn’t have been possible with a group tour.

Guide was great. He was knowledgeable, friendly and happy to answer all our questions. We couldn’t fault him at all. The meet up place was a little vague as it turns out we should have met at the Jericho Cheese Company, but this wasn’t what the tickets said. The tickets also stated we would see the Bodleian library but actually it is the Divinity hall you see and we were told that the wrong ticket time had been booked by the organisers of the tour so we only had 15 minutes to get to the hall. Overall though this did not diminish our enjoyment of the tour and we thoroughly enjoyed our time and would recommend to others.

thorough, good way to experience a city, especially one with so much history. 38 prime ministers from Oxford University, wow.

We had a great guide (Roy Rai) and could not have been happier with him. But we visited Stonehenge on THE ONE DAY it is closed! There was some weird summer solstice celebration going on. Cool Destinations should have KNOWN THIS. Roy made a great recovery and took us to see the Avebury Stones. Still, we did not get to see Stonehenge except from a distance in the car.

Nick has been a truly exceptional and professional tour guide, we have seen so many more of the marvelous Cotswolds with him than any other tour I could see on other websites. So it was a wonderful and unforgettable experience with Nick. 😍🙏

This is a long day but our guide, Roy, made the experience a delightful one. There was just enough time between car rides for hiking, walking, picture taking, getting snacks. Roy was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us a wonderful history combined with enough activity to keep us from being bored. I highly recommend this tour.

My mom and I had such a lovely day exploring the Cotswolds. The scenery is breathtakingly picturesque, and Roy is a local who knew so much! We’d recommend to anyone coming to the countryside!

Wonderful experience! Our tour guide Nic was so knowledgeable and told great stories only a local would know. He also kept us away from crowds of other tour buses by timing the arrivals in each town perfectly! I can’t imagine seeing the Cotswolds with anyone else!

John was exceptionally knowledgeable about the Cotswolds and offered helpful guidance and tips for our tour stops. He was friendly, engaging and a great conversationalist. We thoroughly enjoyed our full day tour.
