A lovely day out in England! Our guide, Rowan, and driver, Patrick, were terrific. Rowan was absolutely wonderful, extremely knowledgeable about the places we visited and their histories, and kept us entertained throughout the trip with trivia. The trip is a bit of a squeeze and does not allow for leisurely exploration of any of the places (we got approximately two hours at each stop), but ten hours just flew by and I had a load of fun.

Visiting our son in London and over the years we've seen pretty much everything close by. Figured this was a good way to see and experience the countryside without having to rent a car and drive

Rοwen is an amazing tour guide !
I have travelled extensively and she is by far the best tour guide
I have encountered.
She provides the information in a fun interesting way
and loves her work .
The trip itself was lovely.
I think it would have been nice
for the bus to stop somewhere in the Cotswolds
for maybe 10 minutes to take in the view and get some photos.
Also since we actually drive in and out of London
over half an hour each way
maybe some general information about London
would be insightful .
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Penny_A,
As a tour provider, it's fantastic to hear such positive feedback about Rowan, one of our exceptional tour guides. We're thrilled that she made your experience memorable and enjoyable.
Your suggestion about stopping in the Cotswolds for a brief photo opportunity is something we'll definitely consider incorporating into our itineraries. We believe in creating moments that allow travelers to truly immerse themselves in the beauty of the places they visit, and this suggestion aligns perfectly with that philosophy.
Additionally, providing general information about London during the journey in and out of the city is an excellent idea. We understand the importance of context in enhancing the overall travel experience, and we'll make sure to include informative commentary to enrich our passengers' understanding of the areas they're exploring.
Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're committed to continuously improving our tours to ensure that every traveler has an unforgettable experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you on another journey soon!
Best wishes,

All three stops were really very interesting places to visit! We enjoyed the Cotswold countryside too! Our only wish was that we had more time at Warwick Castle. I feel like we could have spent an extra hour there. We ran out of time visiting everything. So if you are a thorough viewer of sites it may leave you wanting more.
Larry_S, Mar 2024
we were very disapointed that although the website and all of the advertisements for this company said there would be free wi-fi on the bus, there was not. when we asked the driver and the tour guide about it, they said that the equipment had been removed and the new equipment had not yet been installed. Also, the other tourists on the bus talked while the tour guide was talking, which was very rude and distracting. There was a family with kids that were playing games and making a lot of noise as well, while we were trying to rest and/or read. The tour guide never admonished any of these parties for their unruly behavior.
Kathy_M, Mar 2024
The sights were so impressive and we had an excellent day, but the tour guide was a little disappointing. Patricia was our guide and she was very charming but not very accommodating to a lady with us who was in a wheelchair. Our other guides took great care to make sure we all had the same experience, but she walked very fast and left behind the lady and her husband quite a few times. My daughter became car sick on the trip and she offered no help. We were fine on other trips but this one was a little difficult to be completely present for her narrative. I have no complaints about the sights - the guide did not provide us the best experience. Evan Evans is an excellent company to choose otherwise.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Kathy_M,
Thank you for providing your feedback, and we're delighted to hear that you found the sights impressive and had an overall excellent day. We're proud to have Patricia as part of our team, and while we understand there were some challenges during your tour, we'd like to offer a different perspective.
Patricia is known for her charming personality and dedication to providing informative and engaging tours. While we regret any instances where her pace may have been too fast for some members of the group, we assure you that Patricia always prioritizes the safety and well-being of all guests.
In regards to the situation with the lady in the wheelchair, we understand the importance of providing equal access and ensuring that all guests can fully enjoy the tour experience. Patricia's intention is always to accommodate guests with special needs to the best of her ability, and we apologize if there were any lapses in communication or support on this occasion.
Regarding your daughter's car sickness, we're sorry to hear that she was unwell during the tour. While Patricia may not have been able to offer direct assistance in this situation, she is trained to handle various scenarios and would have been available to offer support and guidance as needed.
We appreciate your understanding and your recognition of Patricia's positive qualities. We will take your feedback into consideration and use it as an opportunity to further improve our services. If you have any further concerns or if there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to reach out. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another memorable tour experience.
Best regards,
Evan Evans Team
