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 may be able to 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.

Private tour from London?
- Regretfully, we’re unable to provide private day tours which start and end London – we’re based in Stratford-upon-Avon, so the driving distances involved are just too great for our drivers to be legally compliant with strict Driver’s Hours Regulations. We have to keep you and our guides safe!
- However, it’s super easy (and usually more affordable!) to take a direct train from London Paddington to Moreton-in-Marsh, and we can pick you up there. You’ll get to spend even more time in the Cotswolds, and less time stuck in London’s notorious traffic!
