This private tour of the Cotswolds takes in the best of the North Cotswolds stopping at many of the places you would wish to see if you only have one day in the area. Leave all the planning to us and tour the area with a local driver-guide in and executive vehicle.
We use quiet country lanes and pass through stunning countryside and off-the-beaten track Cotswold villages. On a typical tour you will visit towns such as Broadway, Chipping Campden, Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water as well as less touristed spots such as Snowshill and Upper and Lower Slaughter.
There is the option to visit one of the many gardens or manor houses in the area and to take a lunch in a traditional pub or afternoon tea in a tearoom. All tours are private and full bespoke so we are happy to tailor the day to suit your individual needs or preferences.
Beat the crowds and enjoy the beauty of the Cotswolds on a private tour.

5.00It was a tour of the Cotswolds and Gloucester Cathedral. I am very grateful for all the wishes we have made.
We were able to travel around Haripotaroque and lovely villages efficiently ✨

5.00Since it was my first trip abroad, he consulted me and made suggestions many times during the meeting stage. The tour was conducted in Japanese on the day, so I could enjoy it with peace of mind, and I was overwhelmed to see and feel the Haripotaroke location that I had long wanted up close. It's early in the morning and there are almost no tourists, so it's really like you've been transported back in time. In Tetbury we had afternoon tea in a lovely hotel and we had a relaxing trip around the vibes. At the end of the day, the solemn atmosphere at Gloucester Cathedral overwhelmed us and we were given a lift to the station, which ended with a disappointing break-up. COTSWOLDS ADVENTURES made my trip so safe and fulfilling. Thank you very much.
Perfect for those who want to indulge in the Cotswolds.

5.00Thank you for two days. They also advised us on the course. The recommended lunches and shops are nice and very satisfying. I also enjoyed chatting with Haruko-san. Perfect for those who want to enjoy beautiful views of the Cotswolds at their own pace.
A fun and comfortable trip to the Cotswolds

5.00I asked for a one-day (10:00-17:00) Cotswolds private tour with my mother and daughter. They kindly advised us from the tour itinerary. The tour guide Haruko had a cheerful Kansai dialect and charming characters, and it was easy to understand the explanation of the Cotswolds in Japanese. It was a great pleasure to visit so many villages stress-free that public buses and tours out of London could not. The day before the tour, we stayed at the Swan Hotel in Vibury and visited Boughton-on-the-Water → Slaughters → Snows Hill → Stow-on-the-Wold → Broadway Tower → Chipping Camden → Morton-in-Marsh. It was a good memory to fully enjoy my dream of the Cotswolds! Next, I want to visit Kiftu Gardens and Lavender Fields during the June flower season.
Great Day With Cotswold Adventures

5.00We chose Cotswold Adventures because the package offered the best price and schedule flexibility. A deposit was required upfront with the balance due a few weeks later. Cancellation policy was very clear. Being comfrotable with that , we booked a full day private tour with Jamie with a list of villages we wanted to visit. This could not have worked out better. We were staying in Stow where we were picked up right on schedule. We saw several specifically chosen villages with plenty of photo opportunities and an hour and a half lunch at Mount Inn. As for Jamie, he was a great communicator both during the booking process and conversation along the route we chose. He had plenty of historical tid bits to share too. If you are not renting a car, this is a great option at 450 GBPs.

5.00We had the opportunity to participate with five family members. It was a very good tour. Due to time constraints, I applied for a half-day tour. Even though our preferred destinations were far away (Broadway, Widford, Boughton-on-the-Water, etc.), they accepted the plan. I was also able to communicate with Haruko Boot in Japanese for prior consultations, which gave me peace of mind. Jamie guided us on the day. It was a hot day in the middle of August, but I was able to stay cool and comfortable in the car. We are not very good at English, but Jamie explained the history of the building and other things in simple English. It was a good memory to have them walk along the footpath with the cow next to me when I went to a spot where cars could not enter directly. We also had enough time for lunch. The restaurant I recommend (Bakery on the Hill) was also very good. If I get the chance to visit the Cotswolds again, I would love to join the tour. This tour is also recommended for friends and acquaintances.
The best day trip to the Cotswolds! Highly recommend!

5.00Jamie was very responsive throughout the booking process and advised us on which trains to take. He was waiting for us when we arrived and was very friendly. Jamie mapped out our day to avoid crowds and ensure we had time for coffee, lunch, shopping and a beer throughout the day. We spent the day visiting different towns, taking photos and learning about the area. It was very relaxing and a beautiful time in the countryside. If you are looking for a day trip from London, this is a great private tour. It’s a perfect way to spend the day in the Cotswolds!
The perfect tour for those looking to indulge in the Cotswolds

5.00Perfect for those who want to enjoy themselves at their own pace. I was happy that they took me to other places besides the one I was asking for. Haruko has the best personality and can be trusted with peace of mind.
Enjoy the Cotswolds

5.00Thank you for two and a half days. We were given a tour of villages in the Cotswold region. It was a very fulfilling day, taking breaks in small villages and cafes that cannot be visited by groups.
