We had a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful experience with Private Tours. From the itinerary planning to the tour itself, we felt well taken care of. We had a beautiful multi day tour of the Cotswolds and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! Shane was very professional and went out of his way to make our tour special. He was great at getting us to locations before the large busses and even added some amazing extra stops along the way. We will definitely use Private Tours again the next time we’re in London!

Our trip was fabulous

Our trip was fabulous! Kyri did an amazing job taking care of us. He was very knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting facts for the area. He had peanut safe candy for my son and entertained us the entire trip. Margaret at Stonehenge was so kind and knowledgeable. We got so much out of our visit that we would not have gotten on our own. Stratford-upon- Avon was my absolute favorite. I loved the ease of the entire trip. Every detailed was handled and I didn't have to lift a finger. This was our splurge on this trip and it was well worth every cent. Thank you so much to your entire team for taking such great care of us through the entire process.

Peter was a wonderful guide for the day! He is friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the entire area. Our day was well planned and we had lots of time to roam around each town and we had a lovely pub lunch thanks to Peter’s recommendation. We had a great day!

This was the perfect vacation from the planning stages to the flying home. We had knowledgeable people helping us prepare, helping secure hotel accommodations, drivers and tickets to all excursions. A lot of work went into this trip and we appreciate every person. Shout out to Emma, our planner, and Graham, our driver.

Stonehenge, Bath, Oxford

Calvin Allen was an exceptional guide and driver. His knowledge of history, the landscape, monuments, and politics was far beyond our expectations.
We saw everything of note from London to Stonehenge and then to Bath, Cotswold and Oxford. Just wonderful.

Highly recommend

We had such a wonderful time touring the various towns in England with Peter. Peter was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable with all the history and shared anecdotes that made them interesting. Very charming and always patient (there were 7 of us) and punctual. By end of trip it’s like going on a trip with a family member.

Thank you too to Darius for bringing us around London city sights when we returned from Paris on our last day. You were way better than doing the hop on hop off bus tours. Always smiling and cheerful.

Thank you too to Sandhie and Laura for arranging this wonderful trip for us in England and Paris. Everything was professionally done, not a hiccup at all during our 18 day trip. When we had an issue with the hotel we booked in London, you were a life saver in getting us another hotel so quickly. And arranging transport with Ewa to bring us to our hotel. Ewa was such a delightful and bubbly personality.

My family and I would definitely recommend Private Tours England.

Enjoyable time from 7/6 to 24/6/2025

We had a wonderful time in England with our family of 7. Big thanks to our guides Peter, Ewa, and Darrius for taking such good care of us and making us feel like family. Peter drove us around and brought us to amazing places like Oxford, Bath, Manchester, Cornwall, Port Isaac, and Stonehenge. We really enjoyed every moment!

Thanks also to Sandhie and Laura for planning this trip with us a year in advance. They were so helpful even during a tough time in London, they quickly booked us a hotel at the last minute. We also had a great time on our Paris tour!

We highly recommend this tour agency. A truly trusted and caring team!

Will miss all of them🩷

Shane was great

Shane was there early, communication with him was great. He even arranged an amazing place to grab lunch on our way to Stonehenge. Next time we're in the UK, we're asking for Shane.

Great guide, great tour, great day!!


I'm writing to say how great our tour of Sissinghurst and Great Dixter was on Sunday, June 29. I'd like to especially recognize James, who was the perfect guide -- knowledgeable, friendly, and so interesting to talk with. He is outstanding.

Wonderful experience

I can't begin to tell you what a WONDERFUL time I had. I've been home for two weeks and
I am already missing your beautiful country. Dean, Tony, Rhys, Sioban and Jonathan all helped
to make this the most special vacation I have ever had. I am already planning to return next year
and I will most definitely be using your service. You are a wonderful service and the people who
work for you are EXCEPTONAL. I was most impressed by the absolute dedication of everyone
involved to make sure the schedule and all of my requests were met. On a scale of 1 through 10, I would give all of you a 100. (I would go higher, but you get the point). I could go on and on. I can't think of one single thing you need to improve on.

Great family trip through SW Engalnd

Ten family members enjoyed a bespoke trip through the Cotswolds, and on to Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, and Winchester. Tony and Mark could not have been more knowledgeable, patient, professional, and game for what ever we threw their way. And they had ideas along the way that only enhanced an already fabulous trip.

Great day in Kent County

This tour was custom made based on what we were looking to do and it was done flawlessly. We saw the White Cliffs of Dover, Canterbury Town, Canterbury Cathedral, and Leeds Castle. We loved being in control of our day. Everything was taken care of including purchasing tickets to any site. We booked the option with a driver and not a driver and guide but it was like we had one anyways. Shane knew a lot about what we were seeing and kept us entertained and informed. I recommend booking with this company and asking for Shane!
