Our customers say...

"My husband and I brought our 12 year old grandson to London for a surprise trip. We booked a drive to Oxford & the Cotswolds with Albion Touring prior to our arrival. On the day of departure our driver Chris (also Albion’s owner!) arrived spot on time. From the minute we left the doorstep of our flat Chris narrated our drive and brought the history of London from Roman times alive for all of us but especially for our grandson. In Oxford Chris took us thru the city telling us some of the most interesting tales. He engaged our grandson on his level and was constantly asking after our comfort. We saw several villages in the Cotswolds and upon learning that we were cheese lovers to us to his favorite cheese shop. I needed supplies from the local pharmacy and he carried those for me in the village and even ran them back to the vehicle. He went out of his way to take us to the The Kings Men Circle of Stones. A smaller Stonehenge with fabulous legends and we loved it. If you are considering booking a drive with Albion don’t hesitate. I would do this again and again! "

"I was by far the oldest traveller, and, when unavoidable ill-health hit me half-way through the tour, I was rendered even more of a handicap to the younger ones. Without our guide’s help and encouragement, I myself would have given up on the tour, as being too much of a drag on others. It would have been an overwhelming disappointment for me – but with his helpful advice I found it possible to see it out without disturbing the very good relations he had already established amongst us all. - And I managed to find it all I had hoped..."
