- Hotel or Bath Spa station pickup and return
Why choose a private tour
Your day, without the coach-tour compromises.
No shared seats
A five-seat car with air conditioning, reserved for your party. The conversation, pace and stops are yours.
A route with breathing room
Four meaningful stops rather than nine hurried ones, with time to walk, look and change the plan.
Pickup that is actually useful
We collect you from your Bath hotel or Bath Spa station and return you to the same place.
A guide who knows the lanes
Local knowledge shapes the order, the quieter roads and the honest call when weather changes the view.
Three villages seen properly, not nine through a windscreen.
Local guide standard
Local knowledge, used well.
Every tour is led by an experienced local guide. The routes draw on more than 25 years of living in and exploring the Cotswolds rather than a list copied from a guidebook.
That is a claim about local knowledge, not 25 years of professional guiding. In practice it means knowing which lane is worth the detour, when to reach Castle Combe and when a viewpoint will not deliver what the forecast promised.

Common questions
The things people ask first.
When do tours run?
Departures run from 1 March 2027. You can book any available date from then, and we would rather you booked early for spring and summer, which fill first.
How many guests can come?
Up to 4. The five-seat car carries a local guide and a maximum of four guests. The day is private to your party whatever its size.
Can you tailor the route?
Within reason, yes. If you want longer somewhere, or there is a place you particularly want to see, contact us before you book and we will tell you honestly whether it fits the day.
