Cotswolds Private Tour to Windrush Valley and Minster Lovell
Overview
Available languages
10 hours
Mobile ticket
Most tours of the Cotswolds follow a rigid, crowded loop that barely scratches the surface of the region's 6,000-year history. Our 10-hour private car disposal breaks the mold by offering a bespoke, "slow travel" experience that balances iconic beauty with silent, medieval mystery.
Total Itinerary Freedom: Unlike coach tours, you don't watch the clock. If you fall in love with the ruins of Minster Lovell or want an extra hour exploring the bridges of Bourton-on-the-Water, your driver is entirely at your disposal.
Access to the "Hidden" Cotswolds: It take you beyond the main roads to places like Little Barrington and Greystones Farm—locations often inaccessible to larger vehicles and missed by standard GPS routes.

What To Expect
Minster Lovell
Minster Lovell Hall & Dovecote: Wander through the 15th-century ruins of the manor built by William Lovell, once one of the richest men in England. The site features a stunning vaulted passageway and a circular Medieval Dovecote that originally housed 600 nesting holes. St Kenelm’s Church: Standing adjacent to the hall, this church houses the rare alabaster tomb of the Lovell family. Look for the "squints" in the architecture, designed to give medieval worshippers a clear view of the altar.
Burford
St John the Baptist Church: Visit one of the top ten most-visited churches in the UK. It is famous for its "wool church" grandeur and its darker history as a prison for the Levellers in 1649. Look for the name "Anthony Sedley" carved into the lead font by a trapped mutineer.

Perfect Cotswold day trip with Dan!!

5.00This tour was a perfect day trip to the Cotswolds for our friend group of six! The itinerary was just as advertised, and it was incredibly easy that Dan picked us up at our Airbnb. Perfectly on time, literally, from start to finish. We followed the recommended time in each village, and Dan was flexible if we needed., we could have had longer or varied a bit if we wished. It did not disappoint and was an even more enjoyable experience with such a fun and friendly driver like Dan. The beautiful green countryside and quintessential English villages are the ideal balance to the lovely busy-ness of London, the Cotswolds with Dan the Driver is not to be missed!!
Fantastic day out in the Cotswolds!

5.00I recently booked a day trip out to the Cotswolds, and I’ve gotta say, the service was absolutely top-notch. Our driver, Dan the man with the big black van, was a total legend from start to finish. It wasn't just a lift; Dan was a proper guide for the day. He knew all the best spots, took us to some beautiful hidden gems, and really made the whole experience easy and fun. The van was spotless and super comfy, which made the drive through the countryside even better. If you’re looking for a stress-free day out with someone who really knows their stuff, I can’t recommend Dan and the team enough. Cheers for a cracking day, Dan!

5.00We recently had a family trip to Cotswolds private tour with Windrush Valley and Minster Lovely. We had an awesome experience. Mr. Oreste Virgilius was our driver for the day. Mr. Virgilius was very friendly and polite. Cab was very clean and neat. He evev provided snacks n candies for our kids. Best part of our tour is he took us around most beautiful places and as the tour description states we actually covered few places where the coach tour would not take us because of size and traffic. All the places were really good with full of nature and all the villages architecture were so amazing and surprised to see they maintain them perfectly. We loved the mister lovell, the church, Bourton on the water. Mr. Virgilius didn't rush us in any of the places and we enjoyed on our own pace. Since we were travelling with small kids, It meant a lot to us. He suggested to spend as much as time we wanted and had no complaints about it Overall the tour has been perfect and Mr Oreste Virgilius made the trip most memorable and pleasant. Way 2 Go !!
