From London: Cotswolds Private Tour

Graham is what made our trip memorable!!! He is the best tour guide ever! So knowledgeable and interesting! He and my husband talked nonstop on the 2 hour drive to London. He took us to many interesting places, and we learned so much about the history of the Cotswolds. We will do this tour again as time limited us to only three villages and there is so much more to see! He was also very accommodating and flexible with our schedule. Best of all his enunciation was excellent; my husband uses a hearing aide and accents can make it difficult for him to understand the conversation; Graham had good volume and was easy to understand without even making a request. We look forward to using Graham again the next time we are in England! Highly recommend!!!

Graham was great. He was on time. He personalized our tour based on our feedback. We was very personable, which is great when you are together all day. Graham made the experience

We had a WONDERFUL day with Graham touring The Cotswolds! Along with showing us the beautiful countryside he provided a lot of interesting history of the area. The stop at St. Kenelms church and the surrounding ruins was amazing and a highlight of the day. We saw so much more than we would have on a big bus tour. It was an absolutely lovely day!

We arranged for Graham to pick us up in London, take us to 'Stratford on Avon and The Cotswolds then leave us in Oxford. This arrangement worked perfectly. Graham suggested we purchase tickets to the Shakespeare locations ahead of our visit which we did. After we toured the locations we traveled to the Cotswolds. After Graham asked type of towns we were interested it and whether we wanted to drive through or walk we visited two towns we enjoyed. He also drove us through the lavender growing region with a stop at the Broadway Tower to view the landscape. Great day!

Graham was an outstanding guide. His pre tour communication was excellent. His plan for the tour included options all day long! We were a group of 7 childhood friends who traveled to London for a long overdue reunion. Graham filled us with historic information as well as interesting stories of each area visited. Beautiful sites, great stories and a very accommodating guide. We probably didn’t get to see as much as some groups, but that was due to us! Graham moved us along but never rushed took time for photos, food and lively conversation! A memorable experience! Personally , I have used Tours by locals for many years and have never been disappointed. Thank you Tours by locals and Graham!

Graham was a great tour guide. He picked us up at Heathrow and toured down through the Cotswolds. Some great out of the way places, not as many tourists. He was super accommodating, especially considering one of our flights came in later than most. He packed in as much as possible before taking us to our hotel in Southampton. We enjoyed his company and will be using him again in June 2026 when we cruise again out of Southampton.
