Private Tours England Reviews 

We had a great day trip to Cotswolds from London . Our driver and guide Kevin was excellent and very professional to make our day an unforgettable one. Also all the procedures and informing from the team before and after the tour was very professional. Thank you.

Mark was a wonderful guide and companion as we visited our ancestors home towns. He genuinely embraced our quest. He was efficient, prompt and accommodating. Also, his vehicle was beautiful and comfortable, not to mention impressive.
We are forever grateful.

From online booking, to creating a custom tour exactly as we wanted it, to the day spent with our great guide, Peter, Private Tours England was the ideal way for us to see and experience England. We were looking for day trips from London that would give us maximum flexibility yet allow us to explore gardens and castles we hadn't seen before. Our custom tour was perfect. Our guide, Peter, was knowledgeable, treated us to wonderful history background, had great restaurant recommendations and took good care of us. At the same time, we were able to explore on our own. It was a perfect way to see England!

Pick up and drop off was on time and easy. Your purchase of our train tickets was extremely helpful. All preliminary communications couldn’t have been better. Our guide, Claire, was helpful, knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with.

We took a day trip out of London to visit Oxford and the Cotswolds. I have been there before but my husband hadn’t. We watch a lot of British TV in the US and many of the shows were filmed in that area.
We were very fortunate to have Kyri as our driver. He not only is very knowledgeable about the areas and history but also very friendly. I told him the types of things we were interested in and some of the places I had liked on my first trip. Not only did we go to the places I had asked but he also took us to some hidden gems. He was very accommodating as far as stopping for pictures. The areas are so picturesque and I wanted to make the most of that. Plus it was fun to see them right in front of you rather than on TV. He suggested we have lunch at a local inn, the Lamb Inn in Burford. I thought ok, that will be fun. I never expected the food to be so incredible. They had an amazing chef. I had a trout filet that was served with local vegetables and had an amazing sauce. Truly a hidden gem in Burford. It is a very charming inn.
Going to Oxford and the Cotswolds is always a wonderful way to spend a day or two. But if you are fortunate enough to have Kyri as your driver guide it will be even more fun.
If we decide to take some trips in the future to other spots in England, I will definitely use Private Tours England and will request Kyri to take us on the journey.

I arranged a 1 day trip to Chatsworth to e was fantasticvisit Pemberly on Jane Austen's 250 birthday. Private Tour of England did not disappoint! The communication from the beginning was excellent. I was assigned Calvin for the 8 hour round trip and he was fantastic! I thought the ride to Chatsworth would be uneventful since the scheduler advised me we would be on the highway for most of the trip to get to Chatsworth for my 11:00am Guided tour. Not the case, Calvin was an enthusiast conversationalist and the time flew by😊 it was the right choice to use a personal driver from London and I would use them again. Thank you Calvin and thank you Private Tours of London for an unforgettable trip!

Dean was great! We had a such a memorable trip, he had great suggestions to add to our trip, more than we could have expected!

We enjoyed our Scotland trip with Martin and Wales trip with Peter. They were prompt, professional and very knowledgeable. Their knowledge allowed them to alter stops to things that seemed more interesting to us. Their restaurant suggestions were excellent. Would highly recommend this tour company.

Antony made our experience! A great guy. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and made traveling and site seeing so relaxing and comfortable, especially with all that we wanted to see in just a few days. He knew where to spend just a few minutes and where to linger based on his experience of the area. He even added a few extra stops he thought we’d enjoy after getting to know us. Highly recommend. First class all the way!

Everything promised was delivered, with our expectations exceeded. The guides and drivers were all timely, friendly, informative and willing to accommodate our pace. When the guide and the location security staff are on a first name basis, you know you are with an insider. London can be crowded with long waits, but we never experienced any of that. Being inside the glass at the Cabinet War Rooms, right up next to the map or Churchill's desk, will be a lasting memory. Talk about "in the room where it happened!" Getting to know the people taking us around was as much as part of the experience as the places we walked through. We would use them again.

I enjoyed an excellent day tour of both the Cotswalds and Highgrove. I should first mention that I decided at the last minute to plan this trip. I appreciate that Private Tours put it together for me in just a couple of days. Peter, my tour guide and driver, a university history Professor, was lovely and super knowledgeable. We traveled to all of the locations in a seemless manner and I never felt rushed. I was picked up at my hotel at 9 am. In the morning we toured 3 Cotswald villages, had lunch and drove through several other villages. We made our way to Highgrove Gardens for a mid afternoon tour which lasted for 1.5 hours. From there we returned to London by 7 pm. It was such a treat to do this. I highly recommend it!

Thank you Calvin for your impeccable care. I have used Private Tours England twice and have been lucky enough to have Calvin as my driver both times .
Everything was perfectly organized ! Wonderful conversation ! Thank you Calvin for making my experiences exactly what I dreamed of .

Overall the experience was amazing! The tours were well arranged and the tour guides knowledgeable and accommodating. We traveled with my elderly mother and the company arranged for her to have an electric wheelchair for the duration of our England and Scotland tour. Dean was our driver/ local tour guide/ comedian/ caretaker and anything else that we needed while we were in England. I have to say that Dean made the whole trip so much more fun; he especially made my mother feel at ease and comfortable! We will miss him! Alan was our driver in Scotland and he too made the trip much more enjoyable! The only reason I am giving the trip an overall 4 instead of 5 is because 2 out of four of our accommodations were not at the level that we had expected and we had to change accommodations after checking in and taking a look around the hotels. The company did reimburse us for the first mishap, we are still waiting to hear about the second time.

Dean was amazing! We had the best day in London! We didn’t have to worry about a thing and saw all the sites! He was so knowledgeable! We will definitely be back and we’ll ask for him again!

We booked a tour of Hever Castle with Private Tours England. The booking process was easy, communication was prompt, and they adjusted the itinerary to match our plans. Our guide, Susannah, contacted us prior to the tour and made sure everything was still good to go. She met us at the gate and took us around the grounds and was very knowledgeable and engaging. She was also very flexible with the tour to keep our kids engaged and happy.
We would definitely book again next time in the area.

Driver, Dean, was great. Entertaining, knowledgeable, easy going.
Blue badge Michael for Stonehenge and Old Salisbury- could not have asked for better! Was extremely knowledgeable and a great historian. A+!
Blue Badge Sue for Battle abbey and 1066 battlefield was ok. Would like to have learned more about the battle. Didnt seem to know much about the area either. Where Michael knew a lot about his area. B.
Would definitely use them again.

Peter, our driver to Oxford, was amazing!! Very knowledgeable and funny. He even gave me a very special gift as a thank you from a certain famous department store! I can’t recommend him enough!

If you want the very best, Private Tours England is your only choice. From the first correspondence to the end, it was five star VIP service. We didnt have to lift a finger. They designed our entire trip, found the most experienced tour guides, and Dean, our extremely knowledgeable and very experienced driver became family. He certainly went every extra mile to make our trip about luxury and unforgettable fun! We learned so much and had a fantastic holiday. Worry free, door to door, the very best!!

Peter is the best of the best!! He was more than we could have expected with our last min booking. He is so knowledgeable and so kind. Was a long journey, but he made it enjoyable from beginning to end. You have to do a tour with him. 20/20 recommend.

Private Tours of England did a great job of designing and implementing a day trip for us to Kent to visit Knole House and Hever Castle. Our guide/ driver, Kevin, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable of the region and an excellent driver.
