“This was a lovely tour with a great guide. There were a lot of stops, and we generally had enough time at each. There are so many towns in the Cotswolds, though, that I kind of wish one or two were substituted with others we just drove through. But I understand why they chose to stop at each town they did, and I appreciated all of the historical context we were provided, as well as tips on what to see and do. I wish this group had a second half or full day Cotswolds tour that you could take the next day and see another 6-8 towns — I would…”
