Amazing guide who made the best of a bad situation - James was an amazing guide! We cannot recommend him enough and if you are so lucky to have him just know you are in great hands. We unfortunately ran into some issues with the trip to Stratford-Upon-Avon due to a disagreement with the driver about the best route which resulted in a 2 hour delay… but James made the best of it and the day was so enjoyable. He found out how much I love books and made sure to point out extra locations and facts in Oxford.

Nice trip - Very good trip. In my opinion, the only thing that might be improved is the time spent at warwick castle. I think it should be little bit shorter to have some time in oxford before getting dark.

History at it's best! - James was amazing. He was so informative and polite. Made sure everyone was taken care of. Highly recommend him as a tour guide. Our driver, Abbas, scared me to death with his driving skills. Can't recommend him as a tour driver again. However, even with the driving issues, had an amazing tour!!!! James is a rock star!!!

Tour didn’t happen due to operational issues - We received an email less than 24 hours before the tour stating it’s been cancelled due to operational issues. We were offered other tours that didn’t interest us which we declined and opted for the obligatory full refund which was offered in the last paragraph of the email. I replied to the email as soon as my server downloaded it to my phone. The Refund has not been received at this stage.

Driver unfamiliar with route which lost a lot of time. - The locations were great but we were running an hour behind the entire day because the driver was unfamiliar with the route and made the wrong turn a few times so some of the activities had to be cut short. This resulted in having a severely shortened/rushed version of the school lesson and also having to practically run back to the bus afterwards because of the limited time available due to the initial delay.
Still worth seeing overall but our timing was just bad having a driver who had never done this specific tour before. The guide was amazing though.
