Private Tours
Ideally suited to groups of up to 16 people travelling together, a private tour with Go Cotswolds allows more convenience and flexibility than our shared guided day tours. Choose a private Cotswolds in a Day Tour, or create an itinerary that is completely tailored to your needs.
Minibus Hire
When we’re not providing our award-winning small group tours of the Cotswolds, our vehicles are available for private hire. Chauffeured by our friendly, fully qualified and insured drivers, our comfortable, luxury minibuses are ideal for day trips and travel-related services for groups of up to 16 people where a standard car or 8-seater minivan would be too small.
Gifts
Great experiences make great gifts! Gift vouchers are available for any of our Cotswolds tours and, with a two-year expiry, there’s plenty of time to find the right date.
