Coisas para fazer em Cotswolds

Eu e meu parceiro fizemos a excursão de um dia pelos Cotswolds com almoço incluído na semana passada, e nossa guia, Eva, junto com nosso motorista, Carlos, tornaram o dia verdadeiramente maravilhoso. A Eva já foi professora, e isso ficou bem evidente da melhor forma possível. Ela compartilhou histórias de fundo fascinantes e o folclore sobre os lugares que visitamos, nos dando uma perspectiva muito envolvente sobre o que nos cercava. Ela estava usando um casaco trench coat vermelho marcante no dia e parecia a própria Mulher-Maravilha; vê-la na multidão trazia uma sensação imediata de tranquilidade! O almoço foi servido em um restaurante adorável e sofisticado. Meu parceiro escolheu o peixe com batatas fritas (fish and chips), que veio com um filé notavelmente generoso, fresco e saboroso. Eu pedi o ravioli, e estava igualmente delicioso. Durante todo o dia, a Eva foi excepcionalmente calorosa, fazendo questão de conversar com todos e oferecendo-se gentilmente para tirar fotos nossas do lado de fora da igreja. Nós adoramos muito ela e realmente esperamos participar de outra das excursões dela no futuro.

It was a lovely relaxing day visiting 3 towns in Cotswold. The bus was comfortable, you could eat and drink on the bus, and charge your phone. The best part was being driven to all of these quaint town and not having to personally deal with directions or traffic. I did this tour with my adult daughter and 18 month old granddaughter , who was a trooper throughout the day! I would recommend for a worry free adventure.

A great day trip to be remembered, with great driver aka guide (Lalji), and the companies punctual, which is rather important for a trip that’s has a bit of distance to cover. two little towns of Cotswold didn’t impress me, but Oxfords was magnificent. I like the map given, that helps with the two hour trip.

We enjoyed visiting Oxford and appreciated the informative commentary during the bus journey, thanks to Pablo. However, we were very disappointed that the Cotswolds were not actually visited, despite the Cotswolds being prominently included in the tour’s marketing and itinerary. This was particularly frustrating because we booked the tour expecting to experience the Cotswolds as advertised. We also found that some of the attractions mentioned in the itinerary required additional entrance fees, which were not made sufficiently clear at the time of booking. The tour operator should be much more transparent and accurate in its marketing. If the Cotswolds are not actually included as a destination, this should be clearly stated to avoid misleading travelers. The tour had some enjoyable and informative moments, but unfortunately, the difference between what was advertised and what was actually delivered significantly affected our overall experience.

Our guide Alan made this Stonehenge day trip so much more than just “look at some rocks”. On the drive from London he explained the history, the solstice alignments, the Salisbury Plain landscape, and gave loads of practical UK travel tips you won’t find in any guidebook. He drives very safely (big plus on those narrow country roads!), and the whole itinerary was perfectly paced — enough time at Stonehenge to actually take it in, plus photo stops without feeling rushed. Pickup was smooth, the audio guide made sense after Alan’s intro, and the whole day just flowed. Easily one of my favourite day trips. Thank you Alan!

Our guide was wonderful! He was very kind. The places we went to are very scenic and picturesque. Love it.

Stonehenge, Bath and Stratford-upon-Avon were all absolutely beautiful. The tour truly exceeded our expectations. A huge part of that was thanks to our amazing guide, Nicholas. He was engaging, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire journey, which made the experience even more memorable.

Um passeio muito agradável. O Palácio de Blenheim é uma visita obrigatória. Tivemos cerca de 2 horas para explorar. Além disso, a vista do jardim é linda.
