What To Expect
Oxford
Your driver guide will meet you in the pick up area outside the front of Oxford Railway Station at 10am. Waiting is not allowed in the pick up area so they will arrive 5 minutes before the tour starts and will be standing with the Mercedes minibus holding a green sign saying Undiscovered Cotswolds. The pick up area is directly in front of the train station just past the bus stops and close to the bronze bull statue.
Minster Lovell Hall & Dovecote
A real highlight of the tour which boasts plenty of Cotswold stone and thatched roofs, as well as holding the title of being the region's most haunted village. Minster Lovell is perhaps best known for the ruins of its 15th century hall, owned by generations of the Lovell family. A true hidden gem!

5.00Our tour guide Sonya was prompt. Immediately made us feel comfortable on the ride. Sonya is relaxed and very knowledgeable about both the history of the Cotswold villages we visited and the country side. We had plenty of time for photos and perfect amount of time at each village. I would highly recommend this tour. Sonya was very conscientious in returning some people to train station in time to catch their train. Thank you for a too notch tour.

5.00We recently had a tour of the Cotswolds with our tour guide, Andrew. We had an excellent time. Andrew had an extensive knowledge of the area, he gave of history of the places we visited, was polite, funny and engaging the whole trip. It was a small tour group of only 6, which made it possible to really soak up as much info as we could. I would absolutely recommend this activity to those wanting to visit the area.
