Traveller reviews
Johnnie was a great guide for us - very knowledgeable about the area and took us to some magical spots. We had a great time.
Having our own private tour of the Cotswolds was the highlight of our UK trip. Johnny had son much knowledge of the area and history- we were blown away by the details! We learned about the importance of hedges and its impact on ecology, history of rock walls, the architecture, the way of life in that area, the people who live there and had a wonderful lunch spot chosen for us. We were picked up at our hotel and dropped off at the train station. We were grateful for the convenience, attention to detail and the personal service. Thank you for sharing your stories and experiences!! And for also taking wonderful photos off us along the way!!
Our ladies group of four booked a tour of the Cotswolds with Johnnie. From the moment we met, we knew we were in for a wonderful day. His knowledge of the history, architecture, land, buildings, and sites from shows and movies was impressive. We saw more than we could have ever done on our own. We will talk about this day for years to come. We had the best time!! If you are considering a tour of the Cotswolds, Johnnie is who you want as your guide. You will be in for a great day.
Johnnie is wonderful! We had a fabulous day full of little surprises. Johnnie is so knowledgeable and - a really nice guy. We all discussed that we couldn’t possibly have understood the Cotswolds as well on our own. Highly recommend!
Wonderful Cotswolds Tour with Johnnie! We had a fantastic day exploring the Cotswolds with Johnnie! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. He shared interesting stories and history along the way and took us to some beautiful spots that made the day truly special. One of the highlights was stopping at a lovely local pub for lunch—it was the perfect way to experience the charm of the Cotswolds and enjoy some delicious food. Johnnie was a wonderful guide and went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore the Cotswolds!
Johnnie is an incredible tour guide. We saw all kinds of sites, many off the beaten path which is what we enjoy most! I can’t recommend his tour enough!!
Our private tour with Johnnie was, without a doubt, the best tour experience of our entire trip to England. As a local resident of the Cotswolds, Johnnie brought an incredible depth of knowledge about the area's history, culture, and the unique character of each village we visited. His passion for the region was evident throughout the day, and he shared fascinating stories and details that we never would have discovered on our own. Communication before the tour was excellent. Johnnie was responsive, informative, and made the planning process seamless. Throughout the day, he was friendly, engaging, and attentive, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience from start to finish. The Cotswolds are beautiful on their own, but having a guide who truly knows and loves the area made all the difference. Every village came to life through his insights and local perspective. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you're considering visiting the Cotswolds, booking a tour with Johnnie is an absolute must. It was a highlight of our trip and an experience we will remember for years to come
Johnnie thank you so much for a wonderful and informative tour of the Cotswolds. I’m still smiling and looking at all the pictures from our trip there, dreaming up when we can visit again. It honestly was a great experience, a 10/10. We truly are so grateful that we chose your company, you’re doing a great job!! We have so many great memories that we will talk about for years to come!
