Harry Potter filming locations It was a tour of the Cotswolds and Gloucester Cathedral. I am very grateful for all the wishes we have made.
We were able to travel around Haripotaroque and lovely villages efficiently ✨ Since it was my first trip abroad, he consulted me and made suggestions many times during the meeting stage.The tour was conducted in Japanese on the day, so I could enjoy it with peace of mind, and I was overwhelmed to see and feel the Haripotaroke location that I had long wanted up close.It's early in the morning and there are almost no tourists, so it's really like you've been transported back in time. In Tetbury we had afternoon tea in a lovely hotel and we had a relaxing trip around the vibes.At the end of the day, the solemn atmosphere at Gloucester Cathedral overwhelmed us and we were given a lift to the station, which ended with a disappointing break-up.COTSWOLDS ADVENTURES made my trip so safe and fulfilling. Thank you very much.
Perfect for those who want to indulge in the Cotswolds. Thank you for two days. They also advised us on the course. The recommended lunches and shops are nice and very satisfying. I also enjoyed chatting with Haruko-san. Perfect for those who want to enjoy beautiful views of the Cotswolds at their own pace.
A fun and comfortable trip to the Cotswolds I asked for a one-day (10:00-17:00) Cotswolds private tour with my mother and daughter.They kindly advised us from the tour itinerary.The tour guide Haruko had a cheerful Kansai dialect and charming characters, and it was easy to understand the explanation of the Cotswolds in Japanese.It was a great pleasure to visit so many villages stress-free that public buses and tours out of London could not.The day before the tour, we stayed at the Swan Hotel in Vibury and visited Boughton-on-the-Water → Slaughters → Snows Hill → Stow-on-the-Wold → Broadway Tower → Chipping Camden → Morton-in-Marsh.It was a good memory to fully enjoy my dream of the Cotswolds!Next, I want to visit Kiftu Gardens and Lavender Fields during the June flower season.
Great Day With Cotswold Adventures We chose Cotswold Adventures because the package offered the best price and schedule flexibility. A deposit was required upfront with the balance due a few weeks later. Cancellation policy was very clear. Being comfrotable with that , we booked a full day private tour with Jamie with a list of villages we wanted to visit.This could not have worked out better. We were staying in Stow where we were picked up right on schedule. We saw several specifically chosen villages with plenty of photo opportunities and an hour and a half lunch at Mount Inn. As for Jamie, he was a great communicator both during the booking process and conversation along the route we chose. He had plenty of historical tid bits to share too. If you are not renting a car, this is a great option at 450 GBPs.
We ❤️ Cotswolds Warm, welcoming, and informative. Nathan was accommodating from the start and ensured the tour was geared toward our individual interests. He was personable, funny and very knowledgable. Would highly recommend!
It was a Cotswold tour to remember. We had the opportunity to participate with five family members. It was a very good tour.Due to time constraints, I applied for a half-day tour.Even though our preferred destinations were far away (Broadway, Widford, Boughton-on-the-Water, etc.), they accepted the plan.I was also able to communicate with Haruko Boot in Japanese for prior consultations, which gave me peace of mind.Jamie guided us on the day.It was a hot day in the middle of August, but I was able to stay cool and comfortable in the car. We are not very good at English, but Jamie explained the history of the building and other things in simple English. It was a good memory to have them walk along the footpath with the cow next to me when I went to a spot where cars could not enter directly.We also had enough time for lunch. The restaurant I recommend (Bakery on the Hill) was also very good.If I get the chance to visit the Cotswolds again, I would love to join the tour. This tour is also recommended for friends and acquaintances.
The best day trip to the Cotswolds! Highly recommend! Jamie was very responsive throughout the booking process and advised us on which trains to take. He was waiting for us when we arrived and was very friendly. Jamie mapped out our day to avoid crowds and ensure we had time for coffee, lunch, shopping and a beer throughout the day. We spent the day visiting different towns, taking photos and learning about the area. It was very relaxing and a beautiful time in the countryside. If you are looking for a day trip from London, this is a great private tour. It’s a perfect way to spend the day in the Cotswolds!
The perfect tour for those looking to indulge in the Cotswolds Perfect for those who want to enjoy themselves at their own pace. I was happy that they took me to other places besides the one I was asking for. Haruko has the best personality and can be trusted with peace of mind.
