Great private tour through the Cotswolds - Henry was great at communicating with us the day before and day of our tour. The travel accommodations were spacious and comfortable. The sites we visited and the ability to stop whenever we wanted and take photos was very convenient. In addition, Henry was kind enough to proactively make us a Sunday roast reservation for lunch where we enjoyed a lovely meal and drinks prior to driving home. Great guide, great trip, I recommend Henry

A Dreamy Day in the Cotswolds with Christopher - If you could bottle up the perfect tour guide—equal parts historian, conversationalist, and genuinely delightful human—you’d get Christopher. From the moment we met him, he exuded warmth, wit, and that rare kind of patience that suggests he could effortlessly handle both wayward sheep and jet-lagged tourists. The Cotswolds themselves? Pure magic. Rolling green hills that look suspiciously like a film set, honey-colored cottages so charming they almost feel smug about it, and villages that seem designed exclusively for cozy mysteries and high-quality shortbread packaging. It’s a place so breathtaking you half expect to bump into Jane Austen mid-stroll, or at least a very judgmental pheasant. Christopher didn’t just guide us through the landscape—he brought it to life. He had an easy way of making history feel less like a dusty textbook and more like an engaging dinner party anecdote. He answered every question with enthusiasm, even the truly ridiculous ones (which I will not be naming here for the sake of my own dignity). And through it all, he made us feel like old friends, rather than just tourists in the back of a van. If you’re considering a trip to the Cotswolds, take this as your sign: go. And if you’re lucky enough to have Christopher as your guide, well—you’ve won the tour guide lottery.

Recommended! - A fantastic tour, with a guide who had knowledge and let facilitate how we wanted it. Experiencing the English countryside was both educational and incredibly interesting. Got a stop for a better lunch, which was the best we ate the days we were in England. We had nice days in London but this was the highlight. Highly recommended.

A Perfect Private And Tailored Experience In The Cotswolds - My wife and I did the Private One Day Luxury Tour of the Cotswolds in December. Our guide was Christopher, and right from the start he made sure our day was wonderful. He tailored the stops we made to what our specific interests were, and even added on additional stops that weren't on our additional agenda. He went as far as taking into consideration the time of day to make sure we had light for photographs considering how early it gets dark that time of the year. Transportation was in a luxury Mercedes van that was very comfortable, but also able to get into small country roads that larger coach buses would never be able to navigate. Christopher was an endless wealth of information at every stop, and was flexible on our timing when lunch took a little longer than expected. Communication was great before the tour, and hotel pickup and drop off (we stayed closed to Paddington) was very smooth. Overall we couldn't have asked for a better experience in the Cotswolds and would highly recommend this tour, and specifically Christopher as a guide to anyone who is considering it.

Just a glorious day - On a previous trip to the UK, we booked a private car to Stonehenge and Bath so we knew we wanted to do the same for a trip to the Cotswolds. We could not have asked for a better day! Christopher, our guide, was simply spectacular. He communicated with us before the trip, was right on time for our pick up and provided truly excellent service. His knowledge of the area was impressive and he took great care to make sure the day was exactly what we wanted it to be. He was very flexible with our time and offered great suggestions. I asked to extend our time in one of the villages and his response was “absolutely, it’s your day!” I would absolutely recommend booking this experience.

A perfect day with Christopher in the Cotswolds - Christopher was a delight! Punctual, helpful, great communicator both before and during the tour. He asked and listened to what we wanted and made sure to make it happen. He absolutely knew the Cotswolds, what was important and interesting, where the best photo ops were, and all the history to go with it. He’s a great storyteller and is so funny and interesting. I wish we had known to hire him for our whole time in London! He was the best!

Brilliant Cotswold Taster - Loved the itinerary, a mix of the popular and some less visited sites. Even the journeys between sites were really scenic. The guide was one of the best I have experienced, enthusiastic with a lot of local knowledge. This "taster" has made me want to see more of the Cotswolds.
