Comments & Testimonials

I don’t know where to begin in our “Thank you’s”. It seems you both worked so hard to create a wonderful experience for us. Every step of the way we had all the information and support we could possibly need. Our accommodations were lovely. The taxi transfers tied everything together perfectly. And, last but not least, the walks were outstanding - all we had hoped for and more. Many, many thanks for helping to make a dream of a lifetime come true!

I just wanted to thank you again for spending last Saturday with us. You are a wonderful guide and allowed us to see places that would have otherwise been difficult for us to get to.   

Also, thanks for suggesting Cotswolds Guided Tours. We had a great day with Richard who gave us lots of information, took us to lovely villages with enough time to do some walking and exploring on our own and gave us excellent advice on what to see and where to walk and eat. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Lastly, many thanks for the beautiful book, a lovely reminder of our time in the Cotswolds.

A belated but heartfelt thanks for organizing my Cotswolds Ring walk in early July. The walks and the accommodations were great. Everything went very smoothly. I may have gotten lost a couple of times, but I was able to retrace my steps and it definitely added to the adventure! It was an unforgettable trip. Thanks again!

Mike and I would like to thank you very much for the terrific time we had hiking in the Cotswolds. We enjoyed the selection of walks and accommodation and were very well-served by your drivers. It was a particularly beautiful time to be in the area and you managed the weather well for us, too. As navigator, I appreciated the detailed instructions and map; we learned to trust them implicitly, although the first time we had instructions to cross the middle of a field we were wary. We had a wonderful time and would certainly recommend you to anyone looking for a similar holiday.

Just want to say Thank You for helping us to four fantastic days in The Cotswolds. Everything was perfectly arranged from your side - hotels, luggage transport and info in the booklets (didn't get lost once). We had one of our best holidays ever. Might even be back next year!

We wanted to let you know that we enjoyed all of our Cotswold walks. It was an amazing and fun trip for both of us – a great way to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The walks were like a treasure hunt ... you never knew what spectacular thing was waiting around the next corner. Also, thank you for the book, we have really enjoyed reading it. Sorry we missed you when you stopped by for a visit.& Thank you again for all of your help. We enjoyed both hotels, our drivers were great, and of course the maps led us on a fun and beautiful adventure.

Many thanks for your thoroughness and thoughtfulness. I'm a climber I have been traveling to remote destinations (Antarctica, the Arctic, New Guinea, the Himalayas etc.) and the organizational skills which you used to make our brief walking holiday in the Cotswolds were a match for any of the other services I have used over the years. It's a testament to your skills and attention to detail that we had a genuinely wonderful time despite record setting and nearly constant rainfall. We enjoyed the opportunity to meet you and walk together on our penultimate day - thanks for taking the time. Thanks for a wonderful job!
