Frequently Asked Questions
About the tours:
My standard private tour covers beautiful Cotswold villages and towns including Chipping Campden, Broadway, Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and many others.
I like to take the smaller, quieter roads passing through little villages and hamlets along the way. This allows time to stop, take photos, enjoy the views and the peaceful countryside.
Absolutely. All tours are bespoke. Whether you want to focus on historic houses, scenic drives, gardens, or quiet corners off the tourist trail, I’ll shape the day around you.
