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.

Overview of your Bath tour

My Cotswold tour takes you on a journey through the Cotswolds, the heart of rural England. Meander through the lanes of tranquil villages, tucked away down hidden valleys, nestled among the gently rolling hills of this quintessentially English countryside. We will visit the ancient market towns where you can stroll around the local antique shops, spoil yourself with a traditional English cream-tea or enjoy the sunshine in one of the beer gardens of an Old English pub. We visit villages such as Castle Combe (known as the prettiest village in England), Snowshill, Bibury, Lower Slaughter and Market towns like Tetbury (home of Highgrove), Burford, Chipping Campden and Broadway.

I would give Jon 100 stars if possible! He helped us out of a bind because of a mistake I made while planning and then he went above and beyond from there. Jon even made dinner reservations for us while we toured Stonehenge. Jon made our 3 day tour enjoyable and we learned so much about Bath and the Cotswolds. Don’t hesitate booking with him! He is easy to talk to and made our visit truly memorable. His van is new, clean, and very comfortable which made a lot of driving as pleasant as possible. I can’t recommend him enough!

Jon keeps it moving - flexible chap with quick wit and charming antidotes pertaining to history and culture of Cotswold’s. Great sense of timing in slipping his guests into congested areas at key moments to avoid delays (encyclopedic knowledge of back roads and back gates).

We enjoyed 3 wonderful days in the Cotswolds with Jon. If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! Jon is gracious, solicitous, funny and knowledgeable. He couldn't do enough to ensure we were getting the most out of our tour. Jon knows all the most scenic places: small hamlets, farmers' markets, the best viewing spots to see the beautiful Cotswolds with lots of local anecdotes to go with. It is no surprise that Jon has repeat visitors. We'll be back too, Jon! Thanks for a terrific 3 days.

Ever take a trip and are sad when it's over? Our 3 day Cotswolds tour with Jon was such a trip. We so wished it could have lasted longer. Jon learned what we liked and tailored the tour to fit our tastes. He grew up in the area where we were touring so his knowledge of that area is unparalleled. He took extremely good care of us in every way, from providing a very comfortable vehicle to finding perfect places to have lunch. If you are visiting the Cotswolds you will be very happy using Jon as a guide.

We spent 3 days with Jon last month and had a fabulous time. He tailored the tour based on what we wanted and took us off the beaten track. We went to pubs & restaurants, streams, churches, towns, villages, gardens etc, etc. We could have never found all this on our own. Jon is very knowledgeable about the area and fun to spend the day with! The transportation was very comfortable. All 4 of us traveling with him would highly recommend the tour.

Jon was our guide for 3 wonderful days in the Cotswolds. What a great guy! His Mercedes van was perfect for touring in this beautiful part of England and he knew every quaint and picturesque corner of it. His local knowledge made for a trip we could never have experienced on our own and his insights regarding the history of the areas made them all the more interesting. Jon was personable, professional, and we felt well cared for during our entire trip. We hope to use Jon again in the future - 5 stars!
