February 25, 2022 Veronika Gaddis

Bourton-on-the-Water is a village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England that lies on a wide flat vale within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village had a population of 3,296 inhabitants at the 2011 census making it a rather large village as its population actually exceeds those of nearby Stow-on-the-Wold and Burford, both of which are considered small market towns.

First, let me begin by saying that this review is SUPER LONG OVERDUE! My deepest apologies Nikhil! Second, HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER from across the pond (we share the same birthday)!!! I hope this message finds you and yours well during this strange time. Dec 2018 my family made plans to take my mother, who’s never been abroad, to London. My sis (whose birthday is 4.17) booked this tour for the 5 of us. We were Nikhil’s 2nd tour, but we would have never known had he not told us. Nikhil’s love for country, joy, and overall exuberance is infectious. He never lost momentum, energy, and we never wanted for information. Every question from London, to Windsor Castle, to Stonehenge, to Bath, Nikhil could answer it all!! We lucked out! Anyone blessed enough to have Nikhil as their guide/historian is fortunate and any company smart enough to employ him must know how much of an asset he is professional, and how beautiful an individual he is personally. As mommy told you Nikhil, your mum raised you right! Thank you for the joy of your presence and for making our trip to London memorable!! Hope you’re birthday’s been a blast!! I had ice cream cake for breakfast!!

Our family had a wonderful time exploring Oxford and the Cotswolds with Graham, whom we found to be very knowledgable and friendly. The tour was well structured but also left enough flexibility for us to explore our specific interests. It felt like we were traveling with an old friend rather than someone we had just met. This was time well spent that provided us with fond memories from our family vacation.

We had booked four transfers with London Cruise Transfers and had excellent service with Steven Jones who accommodated all of our needs perfectly. Unfortunately we had to cancel as our cruise was cancelled out of Southhampton. Steve immediately credited us back our initial deposit and I told him that we would keep all information on file as we will surely use them when we go to England sometime next year. We have used various travel transfers in the past but have never had service like this. I would recommend them totally Joyce Scavuzzo

My husband and I have traveled to London for business but had not had a chance to take a tour. This trip we had two days to spend sight seeing. We booked an 8 hour tour and it was wonderful! Our driver, Anderson, was professional, on time, and took us to quite a few places on that tour. We were so impressed we decided to spend the extra money and booked another 8 hour tour with him. We enjoyed every minute of both tours and can not thank Anderson and VIP Tourism enough for making this trip so enjoyable. We had no stress of planning, trying to figure out transportation, dealing with traffic or getting lost. I highly recommend this company and Anderson Cortez.
