Private Cotswolds Day Tours
The English holiday
you imagined
A private tour at your pace through the storybook villages, with someone who lives here and knows where to stop, where to eat, and when to simply let you linger.
A private tour at your pace through the storybook villages, with someone who lives here and knows where to stop, where to eat, and when to simply let you linger.
There's no fixed route and no schedule to keep.
Just your own private car, and a day shaped entirely around what you'd like to see.
One group, one car. Stay as long as you like, wherever you like.
People who live here, and a chef's eye for where to stop and eat.
Collected from your hotel or the station, and returned the same way.
A spotless Mercedes with soft leather, climate control, and water and a charging cable within reach. The back seat is entirely your own.
Room to sit back, watch the hedgerows pass, and leave the driving to someone who knows the roads.
“When you visit the Cotswolds, ask to book with these folks. They treated us like old friends and showed us the England we'd been dreaming of.”
“We never felt rushed and never felt like tourists. Christian shaped the whole day around what we wanted to see, and waited while we lingered over coffee.”
“He took us to a pub we would never have found on our own, and the drive between the villages was as lovely as the villages themselves.”
“No coach, no crowd, no clock. Just a beautiful private day in the countryside with someone who clearly loves where he lives.”
Drive unhurried through the villages, and stop at the best spots.
A morning or afternoon for the highlights, ideal if you're nearby or short on time.
Heathrow, Birmingham, the stations. Door to door, on time, in comfort.
Also arranged: Oxford & London day trips, multi-day bespoke itineraries, and tours given in Spanish.
A favourite route, never a fixed one. You tell us what you're drawn to, and we build the day around it.
Thatched roofs, packhorse bridges and high streets that haven't changed in centuries, reached before the coaches arrive.
A village pub, a riverside watermill, a table by the fire. Recommended because we know them, not because they pay a commission.
If it rains: all the better. Fires, pubs and long lunches indoors.
Broadway Tower and its view across three counties, riverside gardens, lavender rows in summer, with time to walk and to photograph.
Dry-stone walls, hedgerows and fields of sheep down the roads the tour buses never take. As much a part of the day as the villages.
Every photograph here was taken locally, on the kinds of days we'd love to show you.
