EXCELLENT day village hopping in the Cotswolds! - Our tour with Johnnie was fantastic! He is a delightful man who is incredibly knowledgeable about all things Cotswolds. His enthusiasm for this area of England is contagious. Johnnie asked us questions about our particular interests and adjusted our tour to accommodate things we wanted to see. He basically customized our tour for us. My husband and I have done many tours in different countries and our day with Johnnie is definitely a standout. His expertise combined with his easy, friendly manner was an absolute treat. I highly recommend this tour.

A tour of the Cotswolds not to be missed… as only someone local could provide - This tour surpassed any expectation I may have had! Jonnie picked us up from the train station at Moreton in Marsh and swept us into the fairytale that is the Cotswolds! We were immediately immersed in the beauty and culture of this amazing and special place. Jonnie is local to the area and filled us with history, as well as funny and interesting facts. He helped us to steer clear of the biggest tourist ares, thereby maximizing the limited time we had to explore this vast and sweeping landscape! He brought us to out of the way places that only a local could and only brought us briefly past one of the mobbed tourist spots to show us what we luckily escaped! We ate ice cream from the “ vending machine” of a small local farm and had the opportunity to sample beer from a small brewery not advertised and on the honor system (take a beer, leave your money in the box). This tour is not to be missed if you want to experience the true local beauty that is the Cotswolds! Bonus points if you can’t get enough of Downton Abby… you will think you died and went to heaven!

Cotswolds for the Win! - Johnnie is so knowledgeable on the area and accommodated our interest as we went along. He is very kind and fun! We had the best day. If I ever visit the area again, no doubt in my mind I will reach out to Johnnie again. We were able to see so much we would have never found on our own. If you go to the Cotswolds, you MUST reach out to him. You will not regret it!

The perfect way to see the Cotswolds! - Our tour of the Cotswolds with Johnnie was perfect and exceeded our expectations in every way. We saw many beautiful villages and had so many unique and wonderful experiences. He shared his love and knowledge of the area and he is the most lovely person to spend a day with. The tour was tailored to our interests with time to tour, stop, lunch and shop. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Make your Cotswolds dream come true! - If you have ever dreamed of seeing the Cotswolds up close and personal, this is the tour for you! This tour is an easy day trip from London by train, tailored to your desire. Your host, Johnnie, has the knowledge and a deep love for this amazing neighborhood he calls home. Leaving no stone unturned, he will show you some of the most breath-taking scenery and architecture, and he will uncover some of the most satisfying history you will ever hear told. For me, it was a lifelong dream to see the Cotswolds, and I feel quite fortunate that I picked my trip with Johnnie when I took the train from London to Moreton-in-Marsh. A dream come true? Absolutely!! I will pat myself on the back and say I made a good choice. To Mr. Johnnie I will say, "Thank you, sir. Job well done!" I will never forget this incredible trip for the rest of my life. Thank you again and again.

We had a wonderful day! - Johnnie was the perfect tour guide. He took us to beautiful places that weren’t in our guide books and which appealed to our specific interests. We never felt rushed. It was the best tour I’ve ever taken. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Day Touring the Cotswolds - We had a fantastic day with Johnnie touring the northern Cotswolds area. He was a pleasure to be with and having lived in the Cotswolds for many years, had interesting stories to tell about the towns, people and history of the region. We highly recommend him as a guide.

Must Do Cotswolds Tour!! - Johnnie made our Cotswolds day tour absolutely brilliant! His wealth of knowledge brought places like Donnington Brewery, with its charming honesty box, waterwheel, and peacocks, to life. He customized the trip to our interests, happily adding stops at the upscale Daylesford farm shop and tranquil Blockley Brook, a Father Brown location. Johnnie was a breeze to chat with, answering every question about treasures like Snowshill, Adlestrop’s Jane Austen link, and Broadwell’s ancient yew tree. His enthusiasm for the Cotswolds made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend this fantastic tour!
