Private tours of the Cotswolds and beyond

Our scheduled, small-group day tours are an enjoyable, affordable way for singles, couples and small groups to explore the Cotswolds. However, if you’d like your own private tours of the Cotswolds, or further afield, we can do that too!

Up to 16 people in your group?

We operate three luxury 17-seater minibuses, suitable for groups of up to 16 people (plus the driver-guide). Our private tours start from £900 per vehicle per day (from £950 in 2025).
To book a private version of our Cotswolds in a Day tour, you can do that right ‘off the shelf’, here.
For customised private day tours and multi-day tours, please contact us via the form below, or email your requirements to info@gocotswolds.co.uk.
Don’t need a guide, just need a minibus and driver? See our Minibus Hire options.

More than 16 people in your group?

Subject to availability, we may be able to provide two of our own minibuses and two Go Cotswolds guides.
If you prefer to travel all together, then we have excellent working relationships with several local coach companies, so we can hire coaches of a suitable size and provide a ‘step-on’ guide for you. Our step-on guide rate is from £595 plus the guide’s travel expenses. Coach hire pricing is subject to vehicle size, departure/return times, and the distance you wish to travel.
To enquire about large vehicle hire, please contact us via the form below, or email your requirements to info@gocotswolds.co.uk.

Prefer a smaller vehicle?

Our 17-seater minibuses are ideal for groups of 6 or more, where a standard sized car or 8-seater private hire vehicle may be too small.
For driver-only transport (i.e. if you do not need a tour guide), then we have a great relationship with a local chauffeur company who provide an excellent service. To enquire, please contact us via the form below, or email your requirements to info@gocotswolds.co.uk.

More about our custom private tours of the Cotswolds and beyond

Availability:

Any day of the week, subject to guide and vehicle availability.

Departure/drop-off points:

On a custom private tour we can collect you and your group from almost anywhere you’d like within a 1.5 hour radius of our base in Stratford-on-Avon.

Kindly note it is not usually possible for us to provide pick up and drop off in London – the distance and timings are just too great for us to be legally compliant with Driver’s Hours Regulations.

Start and finish times:

Private tour start and finish times are flexible according to your itinerary and preferences.

Price:

Our custom private tours are priced individually, and depend on departure/drop-off points, group size, vehicle size, inclusions, length of tour, and the places you’d like to visit.

To enjoy our best-selling Cotswolds in a Day tour as a private group, book online today! Prices start from £900 (including fees) for a tour starting and ending in Stratford-upon-Avon or Moreton-in-Marsh (£950 from 2025).
