If you book a tour, REQUEST ANDY! He’s the best!

Ian at Southampton Tours put together a three-day custom tour of all of the places we wanted to visit including Bath, Stonehenge, and various towns of in the Cotswolds. Andy was our tour guide for all three days, and we all feel like he’s now a member of the family. Andy’s incredibly knowledgeable about every place we visited and he made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout the entire three-day tour. I wish I had more thumbs up and stars to give. Thank you so much for making our family trip so enjoyable, safe, and unforgettable.

Amazing private tour if Bath and Cotswold

Andrew was punctual and very attentive. This was a private tour and we were treated very well. He was very informative and took us to see many sights. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again.

Andrew and Sonia were...

Andrew and Sonia were outstanding guides with answers to our many "tourist" questions including a "civics" lesson on British governance. I recommend their tour of Bath and the Cotswolds. Best regards, Phil Samuels, Claudia Dunning and Robert Galvin.

Great guide and flexible itinerary!

Our guide, Andrew, was a great driver, and allowed us to modify itinerary as we saw fit. Spent morning in Bath as planned and got a great overview of the area and spent 1.5 hours in the Roman bath site. Then modified itinerary to include Salisbury in the afternoon instead of the Cotswolds, which was a great change. Got to view one of the original copies of the Magna Carta and the magnificent cathedral. Well worth the money to have such a great guide and flexible day!

Best Tour in Southampton to see Surrounding Countryside

Andrew was a fabulous guide. We were able to see so many quaint areas in Bath, Lacock, general Cotswolds area, Castle Combes, Salisbury, and even squeezed in a drive by at Stonehenge. He was very knowledgeable about many many topics, history, and fun facts. We are so happy that we chose this tour.

Beautiful, breathtaking, fresh air!

We really enjoyed Ian, our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the area, knows the history, and didn’t bore us with constant chatter and TMI. A beautiful, informative, and entertaining day in the country. It was a welcomed relief from the crowded cities.
