A wonderful walk across the countryside, down to Broadway.
Burdford is a nice village where everybody is willing to help
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you so much for your lovely review for Go Cotswolds, Gonzalo! It was a pleasure to have you and Marcela on our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the walks around Broadway Tower. And you're quite right: Burford is a lovely little town, and is one of my favourites. I'm glad you agree!

It was a really memorable and enjoyable walk on both the walking trails. Tom is really great to explaining the details and history for both towns. And lucky us that it was a sunny day after 2 weeks of miserable weather. If you are looking for something not just touring the town only, it is a tour you can go for 👍🏼

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour, Winnie! It was a pleasure to have you and Charlotte on the tour, and I'm delighted to hear that you had a memorable and enjoyable time. Our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour offers a different perspective on the Cotswolds from the usual village-hopping tour, and we highly recommend it for anyone who would like to explore a bit more of the Cotswolds countryside. So glad you agree!

The views were phenomenal and our guide, Tom, was great. We wanted to see the countryside on our brief trip to England and this excursion was perfect. We first hiked on the Cotswolds Way to Broadway tower before heading down to the village of Broadway. The second leg of our trip was a 5k scenic trek culminating in lovely Burford. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Thank you for your lovely 5-star review of our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour, Christine! It was a pleasure to have you and David on the tour and I'm so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful experience with our super guide Tom! This is my favourite Go Cotswolds tour, and I'm delighted that you loved it too!
Jessica_S, Jul 2023
I loved that our guide, Tom, was a native local and could speak to how much this portion of the country means to him. He made the Go Cotswolds experience personal, relatable, and absolutely charming. I appreciate that there was no pressure to walk the entire course and there were options for "shortcuts". I do wish there was more time at some of the villages to shop and meander around away from the main road. Just over an hour didn't seem enough. I also really liked walking through the various fields! I highly recommend this experience.
I would have liked Viator to list the name of the company providing the service. I was surprised and suspicious when I received a confirmation message from a different company than was listed on the Viator website.

Thank you for your lovely 5-star review of Go Cotswolds, Jessica! I'm so pleased to hear that you had a great day on our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour!
The point you raise about Viator's communication is interesting, and I'm sorry that you felt suspicious - this is completely beyond our control! Many people do not realise this, but there is actually no such thing as a "Viator tour". Viator is a third-party ticket booking website, owned by Tripadvisor, that allows you to book tours and activities which are operated by other companies, including ours (Go Cotswolds). I believe our company name is provided somewhere in small print on the Viator listing page; however, Viator does not make it obvious which company's tour you are booking for a very simple reason: they don't want you to book direct with us because they take a 25% cut on all sales they make for us. We list on Viator because, as a small family business, Viator's global network allows us to reach people who may not find our website directly. I hope that clarifies things for you, and others!

Colin was great, took good care of us. He was knowledgible, accomodating. Van was comfortable, he was punctual.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for your lovely review of Go Cotswolds, Penny! It was a pleasure to have you and Gary on our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour this week, and I'm delighted to hear that you had a great time with our super guide Colin. We hope you can join us again one day, perhaps to take our other tour, 'Cotswolds in a Day'!
Polly_L, May 2023
We enjoyed our driving/walking tour in the Cotswolds with Colin. Just the right mix of country walk and village exploration. Plenty of information about the Cotswolds shared. Colin was friendly and personable and even learned all of our names! Day and money well spent.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thank you so much Polly for your lovely review! It was a pleasure to have you, Mark, Gary and Denise on our very first Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour of the year (this tour only runs May thru September) - and I'm so pleased to hear that you had a lovely time! This is my personal favourite tour :-)

We had an incredible day hiking through the beauty of the Cotswolds. The enthusiasm and knowledge of our guide Tom, added to the experience to make this a day we'll never forget!
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your Go Cotswolds tour, Kristine! It was a pleasure to have you and Donna on our very last Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour of the year (it will be back in May 2023!) and a joy to hear that you had an incredible day. Don't forget us, tell your friends, and we hope you can join us for another tour some day!
Peter_W, Sep 2022
The tour was interesting and entertaining! In addition, the sun was shining and there was no wind. So perfect conditions for the beautiful walks through the Cotswold.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thank you for your very kind review of our Go Cotswolds tour Peter! It was lovely to have you and Gabriele on our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you found it both interesting and entertaining! Thank you for your review of the British weather too ;-) I'm so pleased the sun came out for you!
Karl_T, Aug 2022
Our guide Tom, is local to the area, knowledgeable, and friendly. On this tour you'll experience the iconic Cotswold scenery, whether that be villages or rolling English hills. On this trip you'll get to know that this land has gone through many permutations in history and yet remains timeless nonetheless. The changes in pace make this tour unique because it takes one away from the quick pace of everyday life and reminds one that it's ok to take a breath of fresh air and have a break from the phone and immerse oneself in the present at the same time as one walks through an ancient land.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Cotswolds Walks & Villages tour, Karl! It was a pleasure to have you on our tour, and I'm so pleased to hear that you had a wonderful day with Tom! This is a new(ish) tour for us, so it's great to hear how much you enjoyed the change of pace and fresh air that this tour provides. Thank you so much for recommending Go Cotswolds.
Judy A, Sep 2017
Tom was a wonderful, caring and thoughtful guide.
What a great way to see the Cotswolds from a native. We were taken to the most important and sites. A small 16 seat bus takes you on a relaxing day.
You had time for lunch and about 25 min average in each of the towns visited. So well worth it.
Tom saw to each persons comfort, even provided clear umbrellas.
