My adult daughter and I booked this 6-hour private tour and had the most amazing experience from start to finish. The hotel pickup was incredibly convenient and made the day completely stress free. Our driver, Christian, was absolutely fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing the deep history and meaning behind the places we visited and the events that shaped them. We loved that the itinerary was the perfect mix of famous landmarks and hidden gems completely off the tourist track. Christian was also very accommodating, letting us stop for photos whenever we wanted. If you want a personalised, insightful, and memorable tour of the Cotswolds, we cannot recommend Christian and this tour enough!

My mom and I had the best day traveling around the Cotswolds with Christian! He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and took us to some amazing spots! I would recomend this tour to anyone looking to travel within the Cotswolds!
Our guide, Christian, was superb. He picked us up promptly and took us on an in-depth drive through the countryside, stopping at all of the key villages and some off the beaten track. He was great at varying the route based on our interests. We had about an hour to wander, shop and have snacks in each of the major towns. Burton on the Water was my favorite. He was incredibly knowledgeable. I don't think there's anything he doesn't know about the Cotswolds. He had wonderful recommendations for our next day when we would be on our own. Loved, loved, loved our day. There is no way we could have experienced everything that we did without Christian's guidance.
Our guide Christian was an absolute gem! So fun and accommodating! We had a relaxing day in the Cotswolds.
This is an excellent tour. Christian is an informative, fun, and professional driver. Took us where we wanted to go and provided much information about where we went. Highly recommend.
Great private tour. Wonderful to be able to stop wherever we wanted. Ran was a great driver and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.
Christian was absolutely fantastic! We traveled around to all the most beautiful villages carefree with a trusted driver and tour guide. It was truly an incredible day.
This tour was such a great experience. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Cotswold Region.
Christian was great. Took us around the Cotswolds and also Diddly Squat Farm Shop and the Farmers Dog. Learned a lot about the Cotswolds!
This was an excellent way to get a close up look at the Cotswolds for both beauty and history. Chris was a fantastic driver and guide. The vehicle was extremely comfortable and we were able to view some extremely out of the way places with tight clearances. Avoided many of the crowded tourist spots, but saw the full breath of the Cotswolds.
Our tour of the Cotswalds with Christian was so great! He took us to so many places and gave us lots of choices; if we wanted to stop or continue on. Christian had a lot of knowledge and he was also very interesting because he's done so much in his life, even though he's still young. We really enjoyed our day with Christian.
Chris is a marvelous driver and guide. His courtesy, professionalism, jovial spirit and wonderful in-depth knowledge of the area made for the perfect combination. In our lively 4 day trip together he was always on time, always courteous, safe and helpful. We could not have asked for more!
Christian was a great driver and guide. The perfect combination of teaching us about the area and giving us space to explore. Highly recommend.
I cannot say how much we truly enjoyed our time today with or driver, Christian. My husband and I feel so lucky that of all the drivers we got someone who was not only a good driver, but clever, intelligent, articulate, and polite. Did I say enough? 😆 Christian’s knowledge about the area was perfect. What an ending to a day with the wonderful surprise of a Classic Car Show in the middle of nowhere. My husband , a car collector, loved that and I did too. A perfect day.
We had an amazing day with Christian who has a great personality. Very informative and flexible with the tour around the Cotswolds. We would highly recommend this tour with Christian.
We had a great experience and would highly recommend! He was very easy to chat with and very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.
7 villages in 4 hours Door to door service with comfortable MB with plenty of room for our luggage Christian was flexible, informative and accommodating
Christian did a fantastic job showing us all the villages of the Cotswolds. We really enjoyed it & learning about the history of the region.
The area was very interesting and made more enjoyable by virtue of a good driver with knowledge of the area.
Christian was a great host Knew the area Navigated around traffic all day Showed us the best towns and restaurants Most fun day !
Absolutely wonderful. Christian was a great driver and even better guide. I would absolutely recommend to anyone not wanting the stress of driving the roads of the Cotswolds and just want to take them in as much as possible.
We lucked out by finding a private tour of the Cotswolds! To have gotten Christian, was a true gift! He drove us through and around 11 towns, giving us history and taking us to the most beautiful places. Christian was super flexible and of course did all the driving and parking which allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy every minute! He was a great communicator from the start, before we ever arrived in England and continued to be wonderful even after our tour was over. Christian made sure we saw as much as we could in one day in the Cotswolds. He is full of knowledge and good humour. His car was clean, comfortable and he thought to have water bottles for us. The day was full, fun and wonderful!
This was an amazingly informative and efficient way to see the Cotswolds from Bath. Thank you to Christian for a lovely day and Elena for coordinating as my contact prior. We saw more places and learned more than coordinating on our own or doing a bus tour. Really feel like we got to know the area and Christian tailored the trip to our wants and needs. Highly recommend and would do again!
We had a fabulous time touring the Cotswolds with Christian. He is knowledgeable, fun, reliable, flexible and a great driver and entertainer. He made the tour very personal and included special requests to help us , as well as recommendations for other areas we were headed to afterwards. I highly recommend him.
We highly recommend this tour! Christian picked us up from the train station and then did a customized 6- hour tour of the beautiful villages of the Cotswolds. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and gave us time to eat, take pictures, etc. His office was even helpful in arranging our train schedule a few weeks ahead of time. Being from the states we weren’t quite sure how to make the connections from London. They advised us which trains to take (even the time schedules!) and Christian was waiting with cold bottled water. Again, a wonderful day.
Had a fantastic day in the Cotswolds with Christian! He is incredibly friendly, knows all the best spots, and even made our lunch reservations at a beautiful restaurant with amazing views and food. Highly recommend his services if you're visiting the area!
Christian was an excellent guide for our private tour of the Cotswolds. We took an ~1 hr ride on GWR out of London and Christian met us at Kemble station. We went the next six hours exploring the amazing, charming and quaint Cotswolds villages. Christian’s communication pre-trip and day of the trip was excellent. I had booked months in advance and Christian confirmed quickly & said he’d reach out a couple weeks prior which he did to get our train timing details. He adapted the tour to our “must see” items and allowed us plenty of time to wander, and have lunch. We saw so many wonderful places in a short time and were dropped off at our station for the return trip on time. Really enjoyed the day and highly recommend this tour.
We had an amazing experience touring the Cotswolds with our driver Christian. Every recommendation felt thoughtfully tailored to us, from beautiful villages to great local spots we never would have found on our own. What made the experience truly special was his incredible knowledge of the area’s history. He brought every place to life with fascinating stories and insights, and we learned more than we have on any other guided tour. Warm, professional, and genuinely passionate about the Cotswolds, he made the entire day unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Christian was our driver/guide and we couldn't imagine a better informed, fun and genuinely kind guide to provide my husband and I with a more entertaining day. Christian has lived in Cotswolds for 10 years and is well acquainted with each area, the best of what it offers, all the hidden gems and every curve in the road. When you visit Cotswolds, ask to book with Christian. You'll have a glorious time.
Great communication from the time we booked! My clients reported back that the tour was great and exactly what they were looking for!
Christian was an outstanding guide and exceptionally kind. He was knowledgeable of the areas we visited and made us feel completely comfortable and welcomed. We truly feel we met a friend. Thank you Christian for sharing your time with us. What a gift!
Christian was great! He was on time and flexible! So kind, funny and knowledgable! My mom, sister and I had a fabulous time. 10/10 recommend! Christian went above and beyond!!
Christian our tour guide and driver was exceptional. He made us feel at home from the get go. He wws very knowledgeable about the srea and its history. We believe our experience would not be as good without him
Christian gave us a wonderful tour of the Cotswolds and was extremely accommodating to any of our requests.
We had a great experience with Christian. We knew we wanted to tour the Cotswolds but didn't have any set agenda in mind. Christian was very knowledgeable and directed our tour - we ended up seeing lots of charming villages and learned so much about the history of the area. Would definitely recommend and would book him again if we are back in the area!
Christian was excellent from start to finish. We arrived late after 11 and he patiently waited for us without any issues. He took us to multiple beautiful locations across the Cotswolds and shared clear, interesting history at each stop. What stood out was how he made the experience enjoyable for both adults and children, suggesting stops and activities that kept the kids engaged. He even extended our tour by an extra hour at no additional cost to make sure we got full value. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional throughout. He also sent us photos of places he had by which we really appreciated as we could not capture everything ourselves. On top of that, he gave great advice on places to visit for future trips to the Cotswolds. Overall, it was a very well organised and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again.
Excellent tour. Christian was a terrific guide - welcoming, sharp, funny, and deeply knowledgeable about the Cotswolds. We covered a great mix of towns and countryside stops over the course of the day, and the whole experience felt very well thought out and comfortably paced. What stood out most was Christian himself. Over dinner afterward, both of our teenage boys commented on how cool our tour guide was. That says a lot. Really appreciated the hospitality, the humor, the local insight, and the thoughtful touches throughout the day, including the calendar. We were very impressed and would absolutely recommend this tour.
Our 6-hour Cotswolds tour from London was one of the highlights of our trip. Christian picked us up directly from our station in a pristine black Mercedes-Benz GLB, stocked with snacks and water, such a comfortable and thoughtful touch. From the start, everything felt seamless and premium. Christian was exceptional; extremely knowledgeable about the region’s history and culture, and he made every stop feel meaningful without ever feeling rushed. As Spanish speakers, we especially appreciated that he gave the entire tour in Spanish, which made the experience feel much more personal and engaging. We visited Bibury, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Snowhill, Bourton-on-the-Water, Lower Slaughter, Broadway Tower, and Chipping Campden—each one more charming than the last. Bonus: he’s also a great photographer, so we came home with beautiful photos as well. Highly recommend this tour if you want a comfortable, well-curated, and truly memorable Cotswolds experience.
Unbelievably amazing experience. Christian was so engaging and courteous. Perfect day in the Cotswolds and we saw every highlight. Reasonable price to pick up from London so don’t hesitate to book
Honestly one of the best decisions we made on this trip was choosing the small private group instead of the large group tours was a game changer. Just us our own pace, no rushing, and we could spend longer in the villages we wanted to explore more. We even got lucky with a bit of sunshine!. All the Cotswolds villages were beautiful but our favorites were Broadway and Snowshill, they absolutely stunning. Chris recommended us proper pub food and some lovely finds at the local markets. Loved everything!. Highly recommend!
We had an amazing time visiting The Cotwolds and beyond with Christian. He showed us so many places; was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. It was my favorite tour during my time in London and was a perfect ending to my Christmas vacation. If you ever saw the movie "The Holiday" the countryside is just as picturesque as it was in the movie. I highly recommend Christian, we would definitely hire him again.
This is the best way to tour the english countryside. We felt like Cameron Diaz in The Holiday! A great experience and totally worth it.
We had a wonderful time with our tour guide a Christian. He was super knowledgeable, kind, and worked with us to customize the experience. This is definitely a highlight of our trip.
Genuinely great trip with Christian. He knew the ins and outs, where to go and what to avoid. He was also very personable yet highly professional. Prompt and efficient. Highly recommend.
Great experience visiting the Cotswolds with Christian on a half day tour. He picked us up at the train station and showed us all of the high points with schedule flexibility to accommodate our interests. Highly recommend.
We had an amazing experience! Visiting this area for the first time, this tour was definitely a highlight for us. We saw many places, and even though it was winter and got dark quickly, the driver went out of his way to make sure we visited all the most famous spots in the Cotswolds. He was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond. The car was also very comfortable, and the drive was smooth. We would highly recommend this tour!
This was SO worth it! the driver was really nice and friendly, and took us to some extra places we wanted to go to. Great friendly service 100% recommended, you will save so much time and get to see out of the tourist route areas, too.
Christian was a remarkable host. His knowledge of the area, its history and facts of interest kept the entire trip engaging. His kindness and personality made the entire experience that much more enjoyable. He tailored our experience to our interests and was proactively helpful in many ways. I highly recommend Christian without any reservations. Thank you for a memorable day!!
Christian was amazing! He customized a We had a 2 day tour of the Cotswolds and Bath. The tour far exceeded our expectations. He is super knowledgeable, a pleasure to spend time with and we would absolutely hire Christian again!
Christian was fantastic. This is who you want to book with. He was thoughtful, caring, flexible, upbeat, punctual, attentive, a great communicator. Present when we needed him, and unobtrusive in our alone time. I have never booked a better driver. He was exactly what we needed, exactly when we needed it. Have a great trip to the Cotswold, Chris will be the perfect driver for you.
