Tour
Discover the most picturesque Cotswold villages for a private day tour, from Bibury and the Slaughters to Stow-on-the-Wold and Chipping Campden.
The Cotswolds is home to some of the most beautiful villages in England, and a private day tour is the ideal way to explore them at your own pace. With a dedicated chauffeur and vehicle, you can linger where you wish, skip the crowds, and follow an itinerary crafted around your interests.
Bibury is often the first stop on a Cotswold tour. Home to Arlington Row — a line of 14th-century weavers' cottages owned by the National Trust — it is one of the most photographed places in England. A short drive away lies Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the Venice of the Cotswolds for its low stone bridges over the River Windrush.
Lower Slaughter and Upper Slaughter are two of the most unspoiled villages in the region. A gentle walk between them along the River Eye takes around 20 minutes and is a highlight for many visitors. Further north, Stow-on-the-Wold offers a historic market square, antique shops, and the famous door of St Edward's Church flanked by yew trees.
Chipping Campden, with its golden High Street and Jacobean market hall, is considered one of the finest Cotswold towns. Broadway, nearby, offers boutique shops and the option to climb Broadway Tower for panoramic views across five counties.
A typical full-day tour covers four to six villages over eight hours, with time for lunch at a country pub or tea room. Half-day tours focus on a smaller cluster, often Bourton-on-the-Water, the Slaughters, and Stow-on-the-Wold. Every itinerary is flexible — your chauffeur will adjust on the day based on your preferences, the weather, and local conditions.
All tours use our executive fleet, with complimentary water, phone chargers, and climate control. Fixed pricing is agreed in advance, so there are no unexpected costs during your day out.
Wear comfortable shoes for walking between villages, and bring a light jacket even in summer — Cotswold weather can change quickly. If you have a particular interest in gardens, churches, or antiques, tell your chauffeur at the start so the route can be tailored accordingly.
