Three Day Tour of the Cotswolds

Mark S.United States

Jon is an excellent guide and a very nice person. We spent three days with him touring the Cotswolds. Jon picked us up punctually each morning at the beautiful Old Bell Hotel in Malmesbury. We found Jon interesting and we had easy conversation about a myriad of subjects. His knowledge of the area was fantastic. After the first day it was like we were traveling with an old friend showing us around. I would highly recommend Jon and his three day tour. My wife is a Jane Austen fan and Jon was able to add a stop to our tour on the first day that made her trip even more memorable.

I would give Jon 100 stars if possible! He helped us out of a bind because of a mistake I made while planning and then he went above and beyond from there. Jon even made dinner reservations for us while we toured Stonehenge. Jon made our 3 day tour enjoyable and we learned so much about Bath and the Cotswolds. Don’t hesitate booking with him! He is easy to talk to and made our visit truly memorable. His van is new, clean, and very comfortable which made a lot of driving as pleasant as possible. I can’t recommend him enough!

Jon keeps it moving - flexible chap with quick wit and charming antidotes pertaining to history and culture of Cotswold’s. Great sense of timing in slipping his guests into congested areas at key moments to avoid delays (encyclopedic knowledge of back roads and back gates).

We enjoyed 3 wonderful days in the Cotswolds with Jon. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Jon is gracious, solicitous, funny and knowledgeable. He couldn't do enough to ensure we were getting the most out of our tour. Jon knows all the most scenic places: small hamlets, farmers' markets, the best viewing spots to see the beautiful Cotswolds with lots of local anecdotes to go with. It is no surprise that Jon has repeat visitors. We'll be back too, Jon! Thanks for a terrific 3 days.

Ever take a trip and are sad when it's over? Our 3 day Cotswolds tour with Jon was such a trip. We so wished it could have lasted longer. Jon learned what we liked and tailored the tour to fit our tastes. He grew up in the area where we were touring so his knowledge of that area is unparalleled. He took extremely good care of us in every way, from providing a very comfortable vehicle to finding perfect places to have lunch. If you are visiting the Cotswolds you will be very happy using Jon as a guide.

We spent 3 days with Jon last month and had a fabulous time. He tailored the tour based on what we wanted and took us off the beaten track. We went to pubs & restaurants, streams, churches, towns, villages, gardens etc, etc. We could have never found all this on our own. Jon is very knowledgeable about the area and fun to spend the day with! The transportation was very comfortable. All 4 of us traveling with him would highly recommend the tour.
