Private Guided Tours

Around the Cotswolds

A relaxed, fully private Cotswold tour. Travelling through beautiful villages, quiet country lanes and the places many visitors miss.

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.

I’m Peter Edwards-Moss and I have lived and worked in the Cotswolds for over 40 years. My tours are designed to give you a relaxed, authentic and personal experience of this beautiful part of England.

Private Tours Designed Around You

Ideal for couples, families and small groups who want to see the Cotswolds comfortably,
without hiring a car or joining a large coach tour.

Why book me?

My tours are all about creating the best possible day for you. We will go at your pace, with no rushing simply to squeeze in another village. Read what previous guests have said below.

Is this a Private Tour?

Yes, your tour will be tailored to you.
Let me know if there are any particular towns or villages you would especially like to visit, and I will do my best to include them.

Where can you collect me?

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.

What Guests Say

Sofia / TripAdvisor

“Of all the tours we have done around the world this is absolutely the most worth it!! Made our trip to the Cotswolds not just enjoyable, but unforgettable.”

Jennifer Hill / TripAdvisor

“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.”

CLSYVR Vancouver / TripAdvisor

“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.”

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect on a Hidden Cotswold Tour??

Your day begins with collection from your hotel, Airbnb or railway station.

I prefer to take the smaller, quieter roads, passing through pretty villages and hamlets along the way. This gives us time to stop for photographs, enjoy the views and take in the beautiful Cotswold countryside.

At some stops, I may leave you to explore a town, village or Cotswold highlight at your own pace. At others, I will walk with you, pointing out interesting places and sharing local stories.

We will have discussed lunch in advance, whether you would prefer a traditional pub or a café.

At the end of the day, I will return you to your hotel, railway station or onward destinati

Can I customise the itinerary?

Absolutely.
All tours are custom tours. 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.

Between 6 and 8 hours.
A typical full-day usually starts with pick up from hotel at 10:00 am – or a time to suit you.
