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.

A four day tour from Southampton visiting beautiful towns, villages, countryside, churches and cathedrals. Let me show you how and why the Cotswolds is so amazing, culturally and historically and why I am so lucky to live in this wonderful part of the UK. I have lived here all my life and have some great tales to tell, and show you why I love the Cotswolds so much. The Cotswolds is basically two words (Old English) put together. 'Cots' means an enclosure for Sheep or any other farm animals, and 'Wolds' mean rolling hills. Put them together and you have The Cotswolds! Its a large area (900 square miles) and there is a lot to do, visit and see! Please note that this tour can be customised to the days you have available and where you would like to travel to at the end of the tour date. This is not a day tour returning to the Southampton port.
