Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

You will spend more than half of your tour in a mini bus with terrible window visibility. If you board early you may get a window view not interrupted by a pillar. If you get on the bus early you may avoid the cramped back seats or the seat immediately behind the driver which allows you to view the back of the drivers seat. Regular tour buses are high enough to gain you a much better view. The minibus leaves you looking at mile after mile of walls or stone fences go by at 50 plus mph. And If you get one of the many poor seats, don’t expect a rotation of seats throughout the tour. You won’t get it. You are stuck in your original seat for the whole tour. The rest of the tour was ok. Oh, and for that tour price it would be nice to be greeted with something more than “Do you have a name?”

While visiting London ,the Small-Group Cotswolds Tour was our second tour with GO-tours following the Canterbury & White Cliffs tour. Again the bus was comfortable and the safety procedures were reviewed before departing. Our driver and leader David was knowledgeable and entertaining and we learned a great deal about the Cotswolds both past and present. The stops were carefully planned and timed for the guests to visit sites and explore. The weather cooperated and the fall colours added to the landscapes. We would highly recommend both day trips.

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.

4.5 stars. Cathedral and Canterbury were very nice to see. We stopped in a small town of Deal which was nothing and a waste of time. I wish we could have spent more time at the cliffs and the castle at the cliffs as we did not get to see the castle except from the bus Glen our guide was very knowledgable

The view is amazing, our tour guide David is nice, knowledgeable and funny, he also gave us good tips on where to eat! I only wish that we could spend a little bit more time on each location.

My adventure to London was fantastic! So many sights and tradition to witness. The small detail to everything stands out and add more interest to journey thorough the city!

The trip was great, everyone met on time, and departed within the schedule window. The bus was a new Mercedes, immaculate and full, about 16 passengers. Len was a great guide, entertaining and informative and there is time in each town to go off on your own. We stopped in 4 villages and each had their own character. Definitely a full day, and he could not have been more accommodating to the group. Highly recommend!
