We went on the full day North Cotswold tour and it was absolutely fantastic. If you do your research you will find there are really no tours (except expensive private ones) that start from London and go only to the Cotswolds – they all include other places which severely limits the time to see the Cotswolds. This trip is the... More

I went on the South Cotswolds tour with some family visiting from the US. The tour was absolutely fantastic. Everything was well organized, efficient, and on time. Our guide, Philip, was knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour was a perfect mix of driving and time on our own. We had the opportunity to get out in five different villages and explore,... More

Took 2 tours, the Salisbury and Stonehenge tour, and the Blenheim and Cotswald tour. Philip and Conrad were excellent guides and informative and had a great sense of humour. Very professional and helpful with explaining the history and significance of the sights. More

I went on this trip with some froemds from Lithuania and it was superb. At the time we had flooding in the south of England. The roads were impassable and most people stayed at home. However our booked tour was on and Philip did an amazing job. He found his way along tiny unmarked roads and managed to cover most... More

We were lucky enough book a private tour of Bath for our Parents and parents-in-law with our young children with Cotswold Roaming. Philip was so delightful and informative on the area with its rich history and small tidbits that were quite interesting. He was very helpful with the children and what were good areas to keep them interested...including which store... More

Writing this review on the train from Oxford to Paddington after a wonderful day spent with Philip from Cotswald Roaming Tours. I had booked the tour for our family from Australia and Philip worked out a tour within our time frame after asking us what we were interested in seeing. I booked rail tickets well in advance on thetrainline.com.uk. We... More

So pleased you enjoyed your day. Let me congratulate you on your stoicism bearing in mind the temperature differential from Melbourne to winter in Oxford and the Cotswolds. More

A group of us, two American families with three teenage daughters, took the train up from London to spend the day touring Oxford and the Cotswolds. After spending the morning on a walking tour of Oxford (see separate review), we had a quick lunch and met our van and driver in front of the Oxford Playhouse for a five hour... More

I was in Oxford without a car, but desperately wanted to visit the Cotswolds. You can only get to one village directly by train, so I researched and found Cotswold Roaming Tours. I took the full-day tour of the Northern Cotswolds. There were 11 of us in a 16-passenger van. Philip, the bus driver (and I presume owner), told us... More

Cotswold Roaming was excellent. We only had 2 days, and wanted to see the Cotswolds and the countryside. We took the North Cotswolds one day and Stonehenge/Avebury/Salisbury Catherdral the next. Our trip couldn't have been better. Being in a small van and taking mostly small country lanes, we had a wonderful view of the country and the Cotswolds villages, with... More
