The Cotswolds Day Trip
Castle Combe before the coaches arrive, then the towns most day trips drive straight past. Lunch at the Old Spot Inn in Dursley.

Private Cotswolds tours from Bath
The Cotswolds, down the quieter lanes.
Three private day trips out of Bath, each one a route we have driven for years and rate as the best day out in its corner of the Cotswolds. Pick the day that suits you and book it: one car, one party, and lunch already booked. Hosted by someone who has lived among these villages for more than 25 years.
Three days
Pick the day that suits you.
Each one is a full day from Bath with the same car, the same host and lunch included. What changes is the ground you cover and what the day is about.

Abbeys, Romans & Wool Towns
Lacock, Malmesbury, Tetbury and Cirencester. The day for anyone who wants the history behind the stone.

The Cotswold Edge
Owlpen, Coaley Peak, Painswick and the Stroud valleys. Frazer’s home ground, and the quietest of the three days.
View this dayWhat every day includes
The same on all three days.
A private car
A five-seat car with air conditioning, for your party only. No shared seats, no strangers.
Hotel or station pickup
We collect you from your Bath hotel or from Bath Spa station, and bring you back to the same place.
A set pub lunch
Lunch is booked, included and costed at £30 a guest. No hunting for a free table at one o’clock.
Never more than 4
Small enough to change plans halfway through the day if something is worth more time.
A local host
Frazer drives, hosts and answers the questions. There is no second guide and no script.
One clear price
The car and guide are charged once for the party. Only lunch scales with numbers.
Three villages seen properly, not nine through a windscreen.
Meet your host
More than 25 years living here.
Frazer has lived in and around the Cotswolds for more than 25 years, and these routes come out of that rather than out of a guidebook.
That is local knowledge rather than 25 years of professional guiding, and we would rather be precise about the difference. What it means in practice is knowing which lane is worth the detour, which pub does a proper lunch, and when to reach Castle Combe.
Meet FrazerHow a day runs
Out of Bath at nine.
Back by half past five.
Roughly eight hours, built as a loop rather than a string of photo stops. This is The Cotswolds Day Trip; the other two follow the same shape.

Simple pricing
One price for the party.
The car and guide are charged once, however many of you there are. The only part that scales is lunch, at £30 a guest. You see the complete total before you book.

See the dayGetting picked up
We come to you, in Bath.
Tell us your hotel, or ask for Bath Spa station, and that is where the day starts and finishes. No parking, no navigating single-track lanes, no working out a return timetable.
If you are staying outside Bath, message Frazer before booking and he will tell you honestly whether it works.
Where we pick up
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 car is a five-seat model with air conditioning, so four guests plus Frazer is the ceiling. 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, message Frazer on WhatsApp at +44 7399 547880 before you book and he will tell you honestly whether it fits the day.
