HI Mynonnie Thank you so much for your detailed review, and kind words about your recent experience with us. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great time. We have worked hard over the years to plan the itinerary in such a way that gives us enough time at each destination, with some fantastic scenery on the driving parts, and so we are really glad to hear you felt we had got it right. Chris is really pleased that you enjoyed his walking tour of Oxford, and as his wife, I agree that I can't say enough great things about him!! Thank you again for choosing to travel with The English Bus and we hope to be able to welcome you back on another of our tours one day - check our website for all of our other offerings. Many thanks, Jen

Hi there 75phillipf! Wow! I know Chris will be thrilled to hear such kind words! We couldn't agree more - our small groups (max 16) is the only way to tour! We couldn't imagine operating any other way as it gives our guests and our guides a far superior day out. Travelling in a big bus that holds 75+ passengers...No thank you!!! I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed all the stops and sights on our Oxford, Cotswolds and Stratford tour and loved the variety it has as much as we do. We really hope to meet you again some time!

Hi Reba, Thank you so much for your review - and thank you to you all for joining us - I know Andy loved meeting you and spending the day with you all, we really appreciate you choosing to travel with us, and we very much love the great feedback - we put our hearts and souls into providing the best service we possibly can - so thank you again. We'd love to see you all again - hopefully next time the sun will be shining! All the best, Chris The English Bus

HI ABQ Travel, Thank you for your recent review, although it greatly saddens us to read that you weren't entirely happy with your experience. We are a small, family run business, and the enjoyment of each and every guest of ours is of paramount importance, and so if we don't quite meet expectations, we take it very seriously and to heart. I'm sorry you felt uncomfortable around your guide that day. As we travel as a small group of no more than 16 guests, on an all day tour, our guides tend to like to find out a little about you all, and equally share a little bit about themselves to humanise and enhance the experience. Our guests are people, and individuals - not just numbers to us. That being said, I'm sorry if you felt uncomfortable, and I'm sure that if you had made us aware of your discomfort on the day, then we could have changed some things around. As I said, we never want any of our guests to come away feeling annoyed - that is certainly not our intention. It appears that there may have been a clash of personality with our guide that day. The guide in question has been with us for a number of years, and we know her very well. The inappropriate comments you mention would have been said in jest, and were not intended to cause offence. We will be sure to have a collective chat at our next company meeting regarding this issue, and remind our guides to be aware of our guests' body language to spot if something is wrong, but equally it does help us if we are made aware of a problem so that we can do something about it on the day. Best wishes, Jen & the rest of us here at The English Bus

Hi ProfLewis, Thank you for coming back to us - we love repeat customers!! Andy is indeed a passionate Englishman, and he designed the Kent tour that you went on himself. We are super lucky to have him as part of our small team here at The English Bus. Thank you for joining us again - and maybe we will get to see you again one day. Hope so! Many thanks, Jen

Hello Cecilia, Thank you so much for your review and feedback - it means a lot to us. I'm absolutely delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us and guide Johny so much - thank you so much for choosing to take a small group tour with us - we'd love to meet you again one day. All the best, Chris The English Bus
