A Wonderful time in Cornwall and the Cotswolds
My husband and I just finished a 5-day tour of Cornwall with Go Tours in last September early October. A great time to visit. It's a little cooler, but there were a lot less tourists than we've seen early to mid September. I couldn't be more pleased they were meticulous about every detail. Our driver, Chris S was fabulous. He kept us entertained and shared his knowledge about the areas and gave us advice as to the best places to check out when we arrived at each of the villages. He was thoughtful and accommodating for each and every one of our needs. From the start of the tour we were just so pleased with our visit to Salisbury Cathedral, St Ives Beach, and Dartmoor National Park was beautiful. Plymouth was a great stop it was nice to see where our forefathers set sail. I can go on and on about every stop, they we'e all so delightful. Each and every village had its own quaint charm, especially Castle Combe and the village of Cheese, even though we only made a quick stop we were able to see the gorge goats which was a delight. Another favorite was the Minack theater, tickets were extra but they are well worth the price and I would recommend it. The visit to the last mine in Devon was incredible. Port Isaac was wonderful and the tour the Doc Martin show was well worth the extra price, even if you're not a Doc Martin fan, which my husband is not but he enjoyed it nonetheless. All in all, we were so thoroughly impressed with Go Tours organization and consideration of each and every one of their customers. The accommodations were wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour. I would definitely book with Go Tours again.

Postcard Villages & Coastal Cliffs
This 5 days itinerary has covered lots of interesting places. Our driver Chris is a responsible safe driver, he is also very funny with a lot of historical knowledges of all areas we visited, this made our long road trip very pleasant and comfortable. My husband and I will definitely join GoToursUK other tours again in the future.

Recommend Tour
Overall trip was great. The tour guide Chris was fabulous. Friendly, informative, helpful and a fantastic , calm driver! Stops including Stonehenge, St. Ives, Bath were great, with Port Issac and Mikes tour the highlight. Reason for overall rating of 4 was the hotel in Exeter which was more like a motel than a hotel. We picked B&Bs and understand that there were none close to town but feel the hotel the rest of the group were in would have been a better choice.

Great Tour
Our tour guide Chris was fabulous. Knowledgeable, friendly and the calmest driver I’ve ever encountered. Gave us great restaurant recommendations both during the tour and when we were back in London. The Port Isaac stop with the optional tour with a Doc Martin extra was priceless. Our only complaint was the hotel used in Exeter, the White Hart. We had asked for B&Bs but were told there were none that were convenient to the city. That was fine, the hotel was not. More like a motel, no closet, very crude. Given that there were no appropriate B&Bs, they should have just booked us into the hotel that everyone else was in. Not a deal breaker, but not up to the standards of the rest of the tour.

Memorable
What a magnificent trip this was! It had everything you could want on a 5 day tour. Amazing scenery along the way amongst the beautiful cities and experiences we got to visit and explore. Trying new foods, having free time in the evenings for dinner was the perfect balance from the touring during the day. Loved our small group who got along so well but our driver and leader (Chris S) was the best who had the best sense of humour which brought the whole group together for such a memorable trip!! Thanks Chris S!

Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days) cost?
+
Prices start at $1,344 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days) take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 251 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days)?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days)?
+
Around 88 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cornwall & the Cotswolds: Small-Group Tour from London (5-days)?
+
Included: Small-group tour (max. 16 passengers); Breakfast; Transportation in air-conditioned minibus; and 4-nights en-suite accommodation. Not included: Food and drinks, unless specified; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
The Holiday Inn is a short walk from High Street Kensington Underground station. The tour departs at 8:30am, please arrive to check-in by 8:15am. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+

+
