His historical knowledge of the places we visited and his wonderful sense of humor made the day a delight. The driver was simply a nicest guy. And he took good care of us on the road. I have already recommended this tour to my friends who are arriving in England in a week.”

“We had a wonderful time on the Cotswolds in a Day tour. We took the tour in late November and our guide flexed the itinerary a bit based on maximizing the time outside with when the rain was supposed to clear. Martin made the entire day fly by, and the tour stops were fantastic. They will be adding a tour that leaves from Oxford in 2026, but it was not terribly inconvenient to get to Moreton-on-Marsh via train from Oxford, and the pickup point is just in the parking lot of the station.”

“As Much as I wanted to say that I had a great time visiting the Cotswold, Bibury and Oxford via Rabbies Tour Company however, our Tour Van was more than an hour late. The first Van who was also did arrive late, the driver made us feeling reassured that our Van was 10 minutes behind him. Apparently 10 minutes after our Van was not in sight. Rabbies did call us and certainly the rep was very apologetic of what was happening why our tour Van was running late. I understand in this digital age it is certainly very possible to get the communication process across remotely. I just missed the…”

Review of a 10.5-hour London day trip to Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, and the Cotswolds, with practical tips on time and value.
“Excellent tour! Our guide, Mel, did a great job for over 10 hours. He worked harder than most in that he did not take the long rides as a time to relax, but did the appropriate amount of speaking to tell us not only about what we were to see, but some history also. Wish we were able to stop and spend some time at the Cowells, but the other three stops were fantastic. In addition, Mel, he helped each of us after the tour to find restaurants and transportation to where we wanted to go.”
