Not that Great

We had a route established and wanted some historic commentary as we drove it. Overall disappointed with the limited content. Didn’t really learn much about the various towns. Not worth the $20. It was more of a driving guide with directions than a ‘tour’.

Well developed app

This app has everything you need for a self guided tour. It’s easy to use and packs plenty of places to see in around the Cotswolds as well as giving you the opportunity to find somewhere to enjoy lunch and recharge.
Highly recommend this as a family day out or a day trip to anyone travelling around the uk

day.

Fantastic experience!

We used Local Compass to guide us around the Cotswolds on a full day tour and loved every moment! We were guided to the most magical places in the region by the voice of a local who’s commentary is informative, insightful and entertaining. Highly recommend the Quintessential Cotswolds audio tour and the Local Compass app in the general!

Highlight of our Cotswolds Trip

This app made traveling the Cotswolds so fun and easy. Turn by turn directions to access each of the charming Cotswolds towns, in addition to awesome facts about the area. It was like having a private VIP tour at a fraction of the cost. Loved all of the photo opps and secret spots.
