The beauty of a private driving tour is the flexibility it gives you to see the sights which interest you the most. We have a recommended route but the itinerary is totally flexible so if you would prefer to spend longer in a place you like or add an attraction which interests you then we can accommodate you.
Our private tours last seven hours and can start and finish at the location of your choice. The starting time for the tour is flexible and we can collect you from anywhere in the Northern Cotswolds area including Oxford and Stratford-upon-Avon. The tour is ideal for a day trip from London and the most cost/time effective option is to take a direct train from London Paddington to Oxford station.
If you have any questions about transfers from outside of the Northern Cotswolds then please send us an message.

Amazing trip. Ian picked us up from Southampton port and took us on a wonderful trip to Stonehenge and then to Bath. He was super knowledgeable and was a ton of fun!
He suggested his favorite local lunch place in Bath and we ate our first truly British meal. Needless to say it was delicious!
It was truly a wonderful day!
Would highly recommend Ian for your trip!

Our guide Andrew was amazing! Not only was he knowledgeable in every aspect of our visit, he went over and beyond with teaching us and awnsering our questions This was a highlight of our two week trip and would recommend to anyone looking to go see outside of the city

My husband & I visited on May 20, 2024 with Ian & we had an excellent experience! Ian was very knowledgeable & professional! Since we were staying at a hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon, we visited the Northern Cotswolds with its picturesque villages, market towns & buildings made from the local Cotswold stone. Ian made the tour very interesting blending a mix of driving & walking per our preference, answering any questions we might have, allowing time to take photos & taking photos of us. We highly recommend the tour & Ian. Thank you, Ian!!

We had a wonderful day in the Cotswolds with Jo. Such a pleasure to travel with her through the area and modify our itinerary as the conditions dictated. Jo provided great insight into the villages we visited and made sure we experienced the very best of the region. On our next visit to England we will certainly give some other areas a try with her.

I have always wanted to visit the Cotswolds and our tour guide JO ( JOANNA) didn't disappoint. It was a small group and we went to some out of the way places. Jo was very pleasant and entertaining. We learned a lot about what we were seeing. I felt we have sufficient time out of the van but yet covered a fair amount of territory. We saw a lot!!!!

Ian was very easy and helpful to work with from the time we booked our reservation and making recommendations on the schedule based on our groups preferences. He met us at the Oxford train station since we were traveling from London for the day. He helped us have a smooth day from start to finish without the worries of renting a car. He had great historic information about each village and had great suggestions on places to get tea/ coffee and lunch. We saw four towns, side stops to see a rock circle, and Oxford. We travelled with two families with teens who all really enjoyed the tour. We would do again and recommend to anyone desiring a smaller guided tour.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable and organized. We enjoyed the trip and loved the small villages she showed us. It was nice to avoid the hassle of big tour buses and travel by minivan.

Absolutely wonderful tour along beautiful backroads and through gorgeous villages. Our guides were fun and knowledgeable and great story tellers. Being able to travel the backroads where huge bus tours cannot go was great. Time for photos, for food and tea stops, LOTS of pictures, it was just about as perfect a day as I could have hoped for!

We hadn’t realized that when we booked this tour that it was going to be such a small group (which was a lovely surprise). Driving through the countryside in a smaller van allowed us to go to places buses cannot go. Our guide JO was amazing and very informative. She even stopped for us to take photos at places not normally on the tour. The villages we went to were so beautiful. Would definitely recommend this tour.

This was such a great day trip from Oxford! Ian had some wonderful stories and history to share and the places we visited were charming. Great chances to take in the area without feeling rushed. A wonderful time and absolutely recommended!
