Best Cotswold tour is with Mel and Peter!
Maureen_S
, Jun 2022
Mel and Peter were wonderful guides. They are very knowledgeable and knew all the best sights and photo opportunities. In addition they were very personable and a pleasure to drive around with. By the end of the tour we were very pleased that they were our guides. Best viator ever!
Wonderful!

We had a lovely time with Mal and Pete. My husband especially enjoyed having a break from driving so that he could just relax and be a spectator. Highly recommend!
Delightful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Cotswolds with Mal and Pete. It was like spending an afternoon with good friends. They took us to both the “must see” spots that tourists love as well as little villages off the beaten path. They will personalize the tour to whatever your individual interest might be whether it’s history, shopping, architecture, or in my case it was gardening. The tour was definitely the highlight of our trip to England.
Very enjoyable day

We took several tours while we were in England, and this was by far my favorite. The scenery was just beautiful! The villages looked like they came right out of a Jane Austen novel. Our tour guides were amazing! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. They even took the time to backtrack to a place we’d already been to find my daughter’s lost iPhone.
Like traveling with old friends

My husband and I took the train from Oxford into Moreton-in-Marsh, where we were greeted warmly by Mal almost literally as we got off. We instantly felt comfortable with her and Pete, who acted as our driver. They were not only warm and engaging but incredibly knowledgeable about the Cotswolds. Their affection for the area was also obvious. Could you do it on your own? Maybe but you wouldn’t know what you were looking at or be privy to any of the local lore, which is more than half the fun. We visited quite a few villages, a number of which lend themselves to a dedicated weekend away. For us, it was just enough. A perfect day.
Always Private Tour

One of the best tour guides we've ever had. Upbeat, informative, cheerful. They know the Cotswold inside and out, and were easily able to customize the tour to our needs and interests.
Unforgettable.

This does not gets any more exclusive than what it is. You will enjoy bucolic scenery, great stunning views, idyllic cotswolds stone made cottages all over. It is almost a fairy tale. The best was enjoying this with the help of the hosts Mal and pete, they are so nive you would not believe it, besides being locals they have decades of experience in the hospitality business, so they sure know how to treat people and also their way around, not only the history of each plce, but the amazing stories behind each and every one of them. Can´t wait to go back, we alreday miss them, it was like visiting old firends!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
