Overview
Discover the Cotswolds the right way — beyond the bus routes and into the heart of the countryside. With an early start from London, we explore peaceful villages before the crowds arrive, including Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water and the breathtaking Upper and Lower Slaughter.
Your smaller private vehicle allows us onto narrow country lanes the big coaches can’t reach, giving you access to hidden corners, quiet viewpoints and the option for scenic countryside walks between villages. The day flows at your pace, with your own driver-guide and complete flexibility over where we stop and how long we stay.
• Early start to experience villages at their quietest
• Visit Upper & Lower Slaughter — inaccessible to large buses
• Optional countryside walking between villages
• Freedom to choose your own stops and pace
• Private vehicle and expert local driver-guide
