Both my husband and I truly enjoyed the journey with Private Tours England (PTE) to Manchester. We had a great time touring Old Trafford. We had Mark to thank for bringing us to Cotsworld and driving us along the picturesque countryside. It was beautiful and breathtaking. If there is one place we want to return, it would be Cotsworld - to explore more and spend some time breathing the fresh cold air and mix with the friendly locals. We hope to do this with PTE again in our next trip to the UK. Mark, our tour guide, was wonderful! Thank you to the PTE team, i.e. Laura, Kyle and Sandie for speedily responding to my emails.
