A more personal way to see the Cotswolds

The Cotswolds are best explored slowly — along smaller lanes, through historic market towns, peaceful villages and stretches of countryside that are easy to miss on a larger group tour.

I’m Peter, your private driver-guide. I have lived and worked in the Cotswolds for many years, and my tours are designed to give you a relaxed, authentic and personal experience of this beautiful part of England.

  • No fixed coach timetable
  • No large group

Famous villages, hidden lanes and quieter corners

Your tour can include some of the best-known Cotswold places, but I also like to take the smaller,
quieter back roads where you see more of the real countryside.

Depending on your pick-up point and interests, we can include historic market towns, beautiful villages,
country views, gardens, churches, pubs, tea rooms and peaceful places away from the busiest routes.

Why guests choose Hidden Cotswold Tours

A private tour gives you a more relaxed, flexible and personal way to experience the Cotswolds.

Local knowledge

I can share stories, history and local detail that you will not get from a standard guidebook route.

Quieter roads

I like to travel along scenic back lanes, avoiding the most predictable routes where possible.

Completely private

The day is planned around your group, your interests and your pace — not a fixed group itinerary.

“Peter was fabulous , from booking to meeting us at the train. We did a custom tour with shopping , lunch and touring the Cotswolds. Peter made us laugh and was very jubilant ! We are a tough crowd and it was the best part of our trip !!! A complete hidden gem in the countryside. Highly recommend Peter’s tours . The crazy American cousins and aunts trip.”

“It’s was perfect, Peter was professional and knowledgeable and customized the tour to fit our needs. We took the train from London Paddington (so easy) and he met us at the station for a great day. The area is beautiful, but the roads are tight and you absolutely want to be with someone that is familiar with the area. It’s a great day trip out of the city and the countryside is really something special. I will be recommending Peter to all my friends and colleagues.”
