Itinerary

  • Bourton-on-the-Water

    Bourton-on-the-Water is a beautiful Cotswold village with lovely little stone bridges over the crystal-clear river Windrush. There is something here to suit everyone – unique, independent gift shops, charming riverside tea-rooms, the Motoring and Toy Museum, the Model Village; or you might want to just stroll along the river and watch the ducks. By the way, did we mention the best ice cream in the Cotswolds?

    1 hour

  • Ablington (Pass By)

    A scenic drive along a picturesque, intimate valley dotted with secluded stone villages.

  • Bibury

    Bibury was once described as ‘the most beautiful village in the Cotswolds’ and home to the world-famous Arlington Row cottages. So picturesque and quintessentially Cotswolds that Henry Ford tried to buy the whole lot and move them all to his estate in Michigan. Fortunately, he failed, and Arlington Row is probably now the most photographed street in the whole of England with a fascinating history to boot – what more could you ask for?

    40 minutes

  • Compton Abdale (Pass By)

    A spectacular drive through a magnificent, unspoiled valley with some delightful surprises along the way, including a stop at our secret location - a beautiful village that certainly lives up to our promise to take you off the beaten track

  • Lower Slaughter

    A visit to Lower Slaughter is one you won't forget in a hurry as they say a picture paints a thousand words and that is definitely the case with this simply stunning village. It really is impossible to do it justice with words - you need to visit Lower Slaughter and see it for yourself. To wander along the banks of the little river Eye and feast your eyes on the exquisite riverside cottages is a very special experience.

    1 hour 15 minutes

  • Wyck Rissington (Pass By)

    Another stunning scenic drive passing through more quintessential Cotswolds villages.

  • Minster Lovell

    Minster Lovell is a hidden gem we would love to share with you. A last-minute addition when our tour planner’s inquisitive nature got the better of him, and we’re so glad it did, as its proof that the Cotswolds can surprise even us! He discovered a lovely street of picturesque, thatched cottages that leads to the enigmatic ruins of 15th century Minster Lovell Hall, which is said to be haunted by a young bride who disappeared on her wedding day. When you’ve finished exploring this strange and fascinating place, why not end your amazing day in the Cotswolds with a drink down the road at the Old Swan, a cosy, 15th century, traditional country inn.

A Dreamy Day in the Cotswolds with Christopher

Published on Mar, 2025

If you could bottle up the perfect tour guide—equal parts historian, conversationalist, and genuinely delightful human—you’d get Christopher. From the moment we met him, he exuded warmth, wit, and that rare kind of patience that suggests he could effortlessly handle both wayward sheep and jet-lagged tourists. The Cotswolds themselves? Pure magic. Rolling green hills that look suspiciously like a film set, honey-colored cottages so charming they almost feel smug about it, and villages that seem designed exclusively for cozy mysteries and high-quality shortbread packaging. It’s a place so breathtaking you half expect to bump into Jane Austen mid-stroll, or at least a very judgmental pheasant. Christopher didn’t just guide us through the landscape—he brought it to life. He had an easy way of making history feel less like a dusty textbook and more like an engaging dinner party anecdote. He answered every question with enthusiasm, even the truly ridiculous ones (which I will not be naming here for the sake of my own dignity). And through it all, he made us feel like old friends, rather than just tourists in the back of a van. If you’re considering a trip to the Cotswolds, take this as your sign: go. And if you’re lucky enough to have Christopher as your guide, well—you’ve won the tour guide lottery.

A Perfect Private And Tailored Experience In The Cotswolds

Published on Dec, 2024

My wife and I did the Private One Day Luxury Tour of the Cotswolds in December. Our guide was Christopher, and right from the start he made sure our day was wonderful. He tailored the stops we made to what our specific interests were, and even added on additional stops that weren't on our additional agenda. He went as far as taking into consideration the time of day to make sure we had light for photographs considering how early it gets dark that time of the year. Transportation was in a luxury Mercedes van that was very comfortable, but also able to get into small country roads that larger coach buses would never be able to navigate. Christopher was an endless wealth of information at every stop, and was flexible on our timing when lunch took a little longer than expected. Communication was great before the tour, and hotel pickup and drop off (we stayed closed to Paddington) was very smooth. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better experience in the Cotswolds and would highly recommend this tour, and specifically Christopher as a guide to anyone who is considering it.

Just a glorious day

Published on Dec, 2024

On a previous trip to the UK, we booked a private car to Stonehenge and Bath so we knew we wanted to do the same for a trip to the Cotswolds. We could not have asked for a better day! Christopher, our guide, was simply spectacular. He communicated with us before the trip, was right on time for our pick up and provided truly excellent service. His knowledge of the area was impressive and he took great care to make sure the day was exactly what we wanted it to be. He was very flexible with our time and offered great suggestions. I asked to extend our time in one of the villages and his response was “absolutely, it’s your day!” I would absolutely recommend booking this experience.
