About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- chontelled20220 contributionsGood experience in the Cotswold!It was a very good trip, essentially a bus to bring you to 4 villages in the Cotswold area with some fact-learning along the way. You are allowed to wander at your own leisure in each village. It can feel a bit rushed to do 4 villages in a day, so I would recommend only doing three instead. Tour guide was knowledgable and friendly.Written 3 December 2024
- JaneLittlewood0 contributionsGreat introduction to the CotswoldsGreat introduction to the Cotswolds. Comfortable small bus and great driver/host. Beautiful small villages. Brief but independent exploring time in each.Written 3 December 2024
- carolbX8287EW0 contributionsWould love to do it again!It was incredible! The road trip was smooth and the guide, Kevin, was very helpful and funny. We stopped at four villages, walked around, took pictures, and learned a lot from the explanations that Kevin gave us. I surely recommend it!Written 1 December 2024
- aramosmen230 contributionsVery nice getaway for a day.Super nice getaway for a day outside the city. It made 4 stops into the Cotswolds, which is an area and not the actual name of a town. Very scenic drive. The driver was friendly and informative while driving around. Definitely recommend to get a bit of sightseeing of the countryside.Written 28 November 2024
- reedj19660 contributionsA Fabulous Day in the Cotswold'sWhile in London in October with my husband & 2 friends we booked a tour of the Cotswold's with Go Tours. Our tour guide/driver for the day was Christian whose warm and friendly nature made everyone feel welcome and excited about the journey ahead. Christian was extremely knowledgeable about history and culture and shared many stories & anecdotes with us throughout the day, which made the tour both informative and enjoyable. Christian made a point to remember everyone on the tour, checking in often and offering advice and recommendations in each village that we visited and stopped at along the tour. I can highly recommend the Cotswold's Tour with Go Tours and if you are lucky enough to have Christian, I can guarantee that you will have a fabulous time!Written 25 November 2024

- X3283PGsusanw0 contributionsCountry visitLen was the tour guide. He was fabulous. He played music by British artist, told some interesting stories and didn’t like the main road! I was awesome to see the country. We stopped in Burford, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-water and Stow-on-the-wold. Definitely worth the trip.Written 23 November 2024

- bettet1350 contributionsGreat addition to London TourWe had 5 days in London and spent one of them exploring the English countryside and 4 charming Cotswold villages. Do not miss this tour. David shared many valuable insights and sang to us on the way home! We loved London, and we loved getting to see a little more on this Cotswold tour. Highly recommend.Written 21 November 2024
- BB7560 contributionsMehTrip was ok. We were transported to 4 small shopping locations and dropped off. Our driver, David was very chatty and gave a lot of information about history politics and facts about his own life and a little bit about The Cotswolds However the drive was lovely and in the bus for 10 hours. My husband is of average size and found the single seat in this luxury bus, uncomfortable We weren’t toured through anything other than what we saw during the drive. I expected more.Written 21 November 2024

Me and my girlfriends loved this. It was my favorite tour I’ve ever been on. Kevin was an amazing guide during the drives, and has the perfect demeanor and personality to make everyone comfortable while also being very competent, safe, and informed. I liked being able to wander at each stop but I do wish that Canterbury and Deal were either reversed in length of time, or evened out. We didn’t find much in Canterbury to last two hours but loved Deal. Overall though, a safe and nice vehicle, an amazing guide, and the opportunity to see beautiful places outside of London — would definitely recommend.

It was an excellent day trip, wonderfully organized, with long time in Canterbury to enjoy both the city and the cathedral and plenty of time in Deal for lunch and a little bit of exploring.
The guide, Greg, was very knowledgeable, gave us lots of information in an engaging way. The guy has a lovely sense of humour.
I will surely chose FoTours again!

The Go Tours Mercedes Van was clean and comfortable. Jamie our driver was so relaxed and chilled he was very informative and shared interesting information, facts and myths of each area. Jamie was a safe and considerate driver and played appropriate music given the age group and the countryside we were in. The group of 16 people were similar ages and all very friendly. We visited and explored so many different and beautiful places. Saw some amazing scenery and took loads of pictures. The hotel accommodations were excellent. I really enjoyed every minute of the tour and have recommended it to many of my friends already.

The two day trips we selected with GO-tours were both excellent choices during our recent trip to London. The bus was comfortable and the safety concerns were carefully presented prior to departure. During the Canterbury & the White Cliffs Tour of Dover we learned through Glen in a way that was both educational and entertaining. We also felt the time spent at each stop was well thought out and not rushed. While visiting the White Cliffs the sun came out as Glen had anticipated and was an exceptional way to conclude the highlights.

Glen was a very good guide tour. He not only give us ahead about the time delay that cause by the road but also adapt the plan to help everyone satisfy and have time to travel in to each spot.
Also when we travel back, he finding the best route to make sure everyone can go back home fastest as he could.
The only thing that I would say is a point that could improve is the music and the seats in the van.
The seat is kinda curvy and not really support tall guy like me. Kinda got a bit of uncomfortable sitting, but for single day trip it's ok.

Very relaxing day trip to Canterbury, Deal and white cliffs of Dover. Len was our guide and driver. He was kind and friendly. We had a number of non-English speakers making it a bit tougher but he still shared some good stories with us as we traveled. Began to rain as we got out on the cliffs bit was still enjoyable as we got to take in the views and imagine France on opposite coast. Thank you to Len!!! Deal was unexpected surprise…so lovely!

I took two one day Go Tours on a recent trip to England. First was day tour to the Cotswolds, and the second I took based on experience with the first, was Canterbury and White Cliffs of Dover.
Both were excellent - small groups, we were sent out to experience sites by ourselves rather than follow a talking guide, buses were excellent with large windows, guides very knowledgeable and personable.

We really enjoyed our day trip to Canterbury, Deal and the White Cliffs of Dover. Kevin our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable and kept as entertained throughout the tour with his humour and knowledge. The small bus was wonderful allowing us to travel along smaller, quieter and more picturesque roads.

Very well-organized trip, three places all worthwhile to see! Canterbury cathedral and Dover Beach in particular. Driver doubles as tour guide, doing good job in both roles. Small group of us, about 13? Nice conversation throughout the day, never bored.
Only complaint is last stop at Dover Beach was given less than 1 hour, far less than 80 mins as promised here in brochure. Never enough for its spectacular beauty, please improve! Other than that, perfect trip! I recommend it!

The most exceptional feature of this tour is how our guide, Kevin, relaxed everyone from the beginning by assuring us that if anyone needed a few minutes more at a site, we could take them without fear of being left behind. He, in fact, promised that no one would be left behind. That changed the usual tour experiences so much for the better. We felt relaxed even though we zipped through the Canterbury church. We focused on a nice meal overlooking the English Channel at Deal and saw so many great views of the White Cliffs of Dover. Even had time to walk almost all the way down to the water’s edge. We had some fog, but it lifted enough to give us some great views. Kevin was also the driver and managed through some tight spots. We really enjoyed the small van experience. We’ll be looking for the GO TOURS logo for our next tour. Highly recommend this company.
