Dagstur på landsbygda i Cotswolds

My partner and I joined the Cotswolds day tour with lunch included last week, and our guide, Eva, along with our driver, Carlos, made it a truly wonderful day out. Eva used to be a teacher, and it really showed in the best way possible. She shared fascinating background stories and folklore about the places we visited, giving us such an engaging perspective on our surroundings. She wore a striking red trench coat on the day and looked just like Superwoman—spotting her in the crowd was instantly reassuring! Lunch was held at a lovely, upscale restaurant. My partner opted for the fish and chips, which came with a remarkably generous, fresh, and flavourful fillet. I had the ravioli, and it was equally delicious. Throughout the day, Eva was exceptionally warm, making an effort to chat with everyone and kindly offering to take photos for us outside the church. We absolutely loved her and genuinely hope to join another of her tours in the future.

這個是英文行程，由Premium Tour負責，事前沒有另外通知集合方式，需要仔細閱讀行程內容。集合點在Victoria Coach Station Gate18-20。所以找到地點後直接進到最裡面的Gate，準8點開始報到上車，不會發號碼排，所以想要坐前面，就直接在閘門前等，先排隊先選位。Premium tour有自己的大巴，車況良好，司機也很會開車。這個行程去3個小鎮，第一個是Burford，很美，但是車很多，觀光客也多，所以沒有太多景點可以拍，需要走到巷弄裡面比較安靜。大街上的店面普普，停留70分鐘，公共廁所要準備20便士銅板。第二個小鎮是Bibury，很美的小鎮，停留90分鐘，如果有吃中餐，大約剩40分鐘可以逛，大約就是可以看完最著名的Arlington Row。中餐主菜有4種選擇(chicken breast, fish & chip，ravioli ，跟凱撒沙拉），甜點有兩種（檸檬塔與太妃布丁蛋糕），品質都很不錯，附咖啡或紅茶，用餐時間約40分鐘。喜愛照相的可以不選中餐，多一點時間逛小鎮。第三個小鎮是Stow -on the wold，主要是購物，停留80分鐘，有不少店面可以逛，不過沒有太多景觀可以拍，上公共廁所要準備50便士銅板。整體說來，想要體驗鄉村小鎮氛圍比較不足，因為觀光客多，同時除了Bibury外，其他兩個小鎮商業化嚴重。但是整個行程的亮點是明星導遊Eva，她讓整個行程變的非常生動，全車充滿歡樂，彌補了行程的缺陷。整體時間掌握很好，回到倫敦約6:30。總結Premium tour是當地不錯的旅行社，如果碰到明星導遊，整個行程就會大大加分。

Nice chill trip to visit stone cottages in Cotswold. Also a chance for cream tea and buying local produce, quite the British experience. Guide Eva was super charismatic which made the trip so much better.

Cotswolds villages were beautiful and the weather was perfect. Itinerary was not too rushed, and the lunch at Swan Hotel was warm and homely.

Stedene var magiske! Det er som om du er i en eventyrbok! Lunsjen var også veldig god. Jeg likte bare ikke guiden helt, han er morsom, men mesteparten av tiden forsto jeg ikke hva han sa fordi han snakker veldig fort, og noen ganger var alt jeg hørte bare tull. Det hadde vært veldig fint å forstå mer om stedet. Likevel, alt bra.

Guide Ava og sjåfør Ricky har vært fantastiske i å gi en hyggelig opplevelse. Turen hadde bare rundt 20 personer, så det var god plass i bussen for alle til å strekke seg. Lunsjen på Swan Hotel var ikke veldig god (kyllingen var for tørr, så velg andre alternativer hvis du kan, og desserten eplekrumble viste seg å være bringebærkrumble som var for sur).

We took a day tour through the Cotswolds with Rowan, she was an excellent tour guide & was a lot of fun to listen to. Her story-telling ability was top notch! would definitely take a tour with her again. I’m glad we got to experience multiple areas in the Cotswold and the lunch was delicious. (get the toffee pudding and chicken!) I want to give a special shoutout to our bus driver Carlos, for getting us there safely and finding an alternative route when we encountered a road closure. cheers!

Great break from london. It was refreshing to see the country side thru the charming Cotswolds. James (tour guide) and Henry (driver) are the best duo fot this trip. the journey time is just to explore the whole itenerary. The tour is comfortable to explore the area. Highly recomended.

Det var en fantastisk reise. Tom, guiden vår, gjorde det morsomt med sin kunnskap om Cotswolds' historie, men også med sin underholdende formidlingsstil. Stedet i seg selv er veldig vakkert og bør ikke gå glipp av.

旅行社安排的三個景點規模精緻，停留一兩個小時剛好能逛完，Burford 基本上只有一條街，同 Stow-on-the-Wold 都是瀏覽商店為主，只有 Bibury 是純賞景，沿途的鄉村風光讓人心曠神怡。導遊和司機組合是 Eva 和 Keith，介紹風趣，把遊客照顧得很好，回程因路況無法在原定的車站下車，導遊親自向每位遊客確認要去哪裡，告知如何轉乘，並提供三個下車地點，非常貼心。
