Eddie Rocks!!! - It's been a week since we've returned from London and the one thing my wife and I are still talking about is our day with Eddie P!!! This may be a bit lengthy - but that's how much we enjoyed our trip with London Country Tours. From the start, our planning with David was very professional and accommodating in our desire to tour Stratford-upon-Avon and the Cotswolds, with maybe a quick stop and go in Oxford. Our driver, the renowned Eddie P. picked us up promptly at 8:30 and made the bold suggestion of out-right replacing Stratford with Oxford. He couldn't have been more right!! Eddie kept us entertained with both personal stories as well as great facts along the tour. He was even able to call ahead and get us reservations at The Porch House (England's oldest inn) while we were out and about in Oxford. Each stop was memorable - and most of those memories were made because of our driver Eddie. We've told everyone at home about him and our trip. As an add-on - we made an unplanned brief stop at Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill.....completely unexpected and thrilled to see. It's quite an incredible site - almost like the Versailles of England :). I cannot speak more highly of London Country Tours and would recommend them to anyone looking for a great day out in the London countryside.

Beautiful day in the Cotswolds - Absolutely wonderful tour of the Cotswold area. It allows you to see the wonderful beauty of the English countryside. Darius, our driver, was very knowledgeable about the area and provided us a lot of insights. We toured the several well- known villages in the Cotswolds along with some hidden gems. If you want to see England outside of the bustling city of London, take this tour. You won’t regret it!

A must do - The Cotswolds were beautiful. Eddie was fantastic. His knowledge of the area helped provide interesting background. At the end of the day he even gave us an itinerary for our day in London the next day. Definitely recommend!

The Cotswolds, an adventure worth having. - Eddie Prendergast is an excellent guide. He arrived ahead of schedule and had everything ready for us to start our day on schedule. Taking care to understand our interests and expectations was the first order of business, and directed our day. The day was filled with insites into each stop, both historical and present day. In addition to the expected, Eddie enhanced our experience with special stops to reveal true gems along the way. I could not imagine a more rewarding tour.

Excellent day trip to the villages - Steve was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with plenty of insight about all the locations that we were brought to. He cracked jokes along the way, making sure that we felt right at home while travelling on this day trip with him. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick day trip out to the villages and would recommend asking for Steve to be your driver if possible!

Lovely tour w/ fantastic guide! - We had a wonderful tour of the Cotswolds with our very capable and friendly guide, Christopher. We managed to fit in several villages throughout the day and enjoyed the scenic drive between our stops. We really enjoyed the flexibility of the private tour with our family of 7 and the ease of door to door pickup & drop off. Highly recommend!

Cotswolds - Our driver was very nice, however the private tour said water and snacks were provided. He only had two waters for four people and it was a very hot day. There were also no snacks provided.

Tour never happed - We had booked this tour 9 months in advance with regular communication via email, we were even in contact 14 hours before our scheduled day long tour. THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. My family spent an hour waiting in the rain for a tour that never happened. I called David’s provided number multiple times with no answer and left messages.we sent emails to our contact who had confirmed our reservation the night before. This was one of main excursions on our family trip and was an incredible let down. I would caution any group in the future to second guess the use of this tour company if you are planning a trip around excursions with a limited time table. David reached out later that day via email ( never called us) to say a system error deleted our reservation ( however we had confirmed with him THE NIGHT BEFORE.. that we were all set and pick up at 9:15am) I feel this was a half hearted attempt to save face and blame a computer. Incredibly disappointed in this business and its lack of reliability. Would give 0 stars if I could.
