Loved everything about the tour. The itinerary was well thought out, and everything went smoothly. Our tour leader Dax and driver Phil were both stellar! Looking forward to planning another adventure with Blue-Roads.

We had a wonderful trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny, as was the driver. The locations were well chosen and very interesting to explore. We would highly recommend this tour.

We had an excellent tour led by Terry who was very responsive in adjusting the tour when he could to make us happy. Lots of little villages in the Cotswolds made us very happy.

Our family of four - Dad, Mom and 2 adult daughters enjoyed the Heart of England tour with Blue Roads Touring. We travelled through many beautiful towns and villages, with plenty of time to explore. Highlights include Oxford University, the Cotswolds, Stratford, and Bath. Accommodations were excellent and very well located. Meals included were first rate. Above all, the guide Justin and driver Simon made our trip memorable. They listened to our interests and went above and beyond our expectations! A++

It was a good tour, we saw and experienced as much as we could absorb. Recommended.

The tip provided more experiences than I had anticipated.
Also, Terry was an exceptional guide. He was informative and caring.

The tour was lovely overall, and Mike, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly.

The reason I rated it as 4 instead of five stars was due to the hotel accommodations on our tour. My hotel room in Stratford at the Swan's Nest was not acceptable. The room smelled horribly of cigarette smoke and the carpet was filthy. I asked if we could switch rooms, but they were fully booked. We ended up sleeping with the windows open to try to minimize the smoke, but we are allergic to smoke, and had difficulty resting in the room.

Similiarly, our hotel in Bath was also challenging because we did not have air conditioning, and the internet at the hotel constantly malfunctioned. Several other guests on our tour were placed in rooms without air conditioning, and we reported the problem, but the issue was not resolved in our room at it we visited in June when it was quite warm. Again, the hotel was fully booked and could not change our room, so we slept with our windows open and a fan.

I'm 86 years old. With very bad knees. And I'm here to tell you I would do this tour again in a heartbeat, with the exception of the long international flight and the one night with no air-conditioning during a heat wave. WHICH our great tour guide, Mike, did his best to alleviate, and we were moved for the second night to another room.

There was more walking and standing than anticipated, but I didn't want to miss a thing.... and didn't. We saw SO much. And learned SO much, And had so many unforgettable experiences, such as the beautiful and delicious high tea in a village where the newer houses were built in the 1600's!

I was hoping to see a few thatched houses.... I didn't see any mundane, American-style houses at all. And those back roads are really back roads!
I loved the stops in movie-set worthy villages. Everyone was friendly. The food was good to excellent.

One of the most beautiful parts of the journey was the delightful group of fellow travelers. The kind of people you would like to have long-term in your life. Aa treasured journey!

had such a wonderful time. The guide was so knowledgeable and thorough in his presentation. I always enjoy traveling on the smallest roads possible and the comradery that is possible with small group travel

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip through the Cotswold region. Our tour guide and driver were the very friendly, knowledgeable and simply the best. Lots of interesting stops and free time to explore on our own.

Absolutely loved the tour! The small group is the way to go. You get personalized attention from the tour guide and you get to know your group.
Seeing the Cotswolds was the best- very beautiful. There is plenty of time allowed to see the different parts of the villages.
Daz, the tour guide and bus driver Phil were super friendly and knowledgeable.
Would definitely recommend!

Guide Terry Gibson (and driver Phil) were outstanding and toook the best care of us all. The tour was well planned, the sites we visited were beautiful and well presented. Our high tea was amazing (thank you Anna at Old Rectory Pop Up Teas) and our gatherings in the evening were jovial and breakfasts pleasant.

This was truly the best group tour I have ever been on. It was well organized, perfectly placed, very entertaining, and highly informative. The tour guide, Terry Gibson, was professional and helpful, while the driver, Phil, was both highly skilled and entertaining!! The high tea was a total delight!!!

Very well organized. Guide (Darren) and driver (Phil) simply the best. Fun tour. Enjoyed seeing the beautiful Cotswold villages and learning the history of the area.

Our tour guide, Darren, and the driver Phil were both great. We never felt pressured to rush, and Darren was very knowledgeable and fun. Our only disappointment was the Wellington Blue Orchid Hotel. It took forever to check in, the room was ok, but there were no outlets in the bathroom to use the hair dryer and no Mirror to use it outside of the bathroom. Food was not very good either. The staff did their best to be helpful and were very friendly but didn't have much to work with, can't blame them in the least. That was the only thing we weren't happy with. Everything else was great.

Charlie was outstanding.

The tour takes you to great places. The Cotswalds and Bath are scenic wonders and if you had any relationship with Shakespeare in school,, Stratford on Avon may be the most fun. Our guides were very good. The Mercedes van rides nice but can feel a wee bit cramped if you are a tall or wide person. Hotels were nice and perfectly located with fairly good food as well. My only criticism is that the tour tried to cram a little too much into 5 days. There was little time to explore on your own anywhere other than Bath. The other days you went to about 6:00 p.m.

It was really resonable for the type of small group. Driver & Guide made the trip special for us.

Well worth the cost. Good value

Trip covered our most desired locations

Excellent Tour!! I would recommend this tour and would use this company again.

This tour had almost everything we wanted to see. We would even consider taking it again.

Good value for the money!

Tour gave a taste of England outside of London, which we know well. Delightful towns, beautiful countryside, and fascinating history.

Beautiful countryside, history in our midst.
