If you are looking for a first class tour guide of the Cotswolds then look no further! My name is Jon and I have lived in the Cotswolds all my life. When I was young I used to play in the open fields and mess around down by my local stream with my friends. I used to cycle down all the local lanes, places that I take you on my tours even now, off the beaten track and a chance to see unspoilt rural England in the heart of the Cotswolds. I take pride in the fact that I offer a five star service and have therefore invested heavily in buying appropriate vehicles. My pride and joy is my brand new V class Mercedes SUV, which can take up to seven of you on our private tours. This wonderful car is higher up than normal cars and gives great views over the hedgerows, super comfortable and has free wi-fi, a panoramic sunroof and air con What better way to visit the Cotswolds in such comfort and style! My tours are very flexible and completely built to suit you. I drive to beautiful Cotswold villages and we frequently stop to take photographs and to walk around, and also visit amazing market towns to stop for a bit of window shopping or just to admire the architecture. In between we drive through amazing countryside and and at lunchtime how about a traditional English pub for a pint and a bite to eat, or maybe a traditional afternoon tea? These are exclusive tours just for you and your party. Not only do I do one day tours but as many as you would like, just let me know what interests you have and I can compose a tour for you each day. Depending on the duration of the tour days (more than one day), I can collect from airports and London as well as any hotel you may be in the Cotswolds and take you on one of these beautiful tours. For example you may like to stop off on the way from London or the airport at Oxford, Blenheim Palace, Stonehenge or Windsor Castle. This would work on our way to the Cotswolds. I look forward to our experience together Jon Fully Licensed to carry passengers (Private Hire Insurance) Full Public Liability Insurance Bachelor of Arts, Degree in Music at Cambridge.

Come on the ultimate five star tour of the Cotswolds, visiting beautiful villages and market towns whilst in between travelling in the comfort of this beautiful car. As a keen nature lover I will tell you all about the animals and birds that live here in the countryside, and the hedgerows and dry stone walls that line the roads and fields all over The Cotswolds. This is why I enjoy doing this tour, because I have lived here all my life and I like to share my experiences and observations with you about this beautiful part of the World. We will explore the highlights and the best the Cotswolds has to offer, driving off the beaten track at a leisurely pace stopping whenever you want to take that perfect picture or just take in the breath taking scenery. My Cotswold tours will take you to some of the most beautiful spots in the Cotswolds with me as your guide.
We had a wonderful day touring the Cotswolds with Jon. He was courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable, and takes excellent photos. Very patient and accommodating to what our group was interested in at every stop. He is a wonderful guide who clearly knows the Cotswolds like the back of his hand. He was also the best driver we had on our trip and his Mercedes was extraordinarily comfortable. The day was a highlight for all of us.
We had a wonderful day with Jon touring the Cotswolds! Jon was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to many villages and towns while sharing the history and wonderful stories. I highly recommend Jon for your tour of the Cotswolds!!
Jon is the best of the best! We had a wonderful day touring the Cotswolds We enjoyed every minute visiting the very beautiful and charming hamlets, villages and towns. Jon helped us plan a perfect itinerary. We had a day rich with history. We loved learning the specialties of all the different villages and towns, and simply strolling down the high streets. You won’t miss a thing traveling with Jon, do yourself a favor and book Jon today for a trip you won’t forget. Thank you so much Jon.
We had a wonderful day with Jon in the Cotswalds. The car was comfy, clean, and plenty of leg room. Jon was easy to chat with and knew all the best spots to stop at. He took our boys’ (15 & 10) interests into consideration and directed them to a shop that they loved. We would take the tour again in a heartbeat.
We came back for our second tour with Jon! He is a delight and offered us again a splendid day in the Cotswolds. He is thoughtful in his preparation and truly offers a day suited to your travel wishes. This year we saw new villages, a few of our favorites from last year and a special in depth first hand tour of a local village that had special meaning and great stories provided by Jon. We look forward to returning one day for another insightful and memorable day together!
Your guide makes or breaks your tour. Jon was one of the top guides we have had, whether from Tours By Locals or from other sources. He has a great personality, differentiated local knowledge, a very nice van. Most importantly, Jon has the ability to pick up on subtle cues from his clients and make on-the-fly changes to maximize happiness.
• Collect at a leisurely time after you have had your breakfast at your hotel, in my gleaming V class Mercedes. • Drive to Castle Combe, one of England's prettiest villages and admire the architecture and talk about the history. • Drive to Tetbury, historic market town and home to HRH Prince Charles who lives by at his home Highgrove. Visit the Princes' shop for a browse or maybe purchase a souvenir or two. • Drive up to Bibury, historic village where one of the most photographed street names Arlington Row belongs and through the beautiful Coln valley and stop at the lovely village of Lower Slaughter. It is lunch time and maybe time for a visit to an old English pub for a bite to eat? • Drive further north to Snowshill where Bridget Jones diary was filmed and then onto the fabulous town of Broadway. Throughout the day we will be driving through scenic English countryside and stopping at various villages and towns in the Cotswolds Return later to your accommodation
