“Adam was our outstanding chauffeur and guide for four lovely days of touring the countryside and villages of the Cotswolds. From my initial contact with Adam, he was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He crafted an itinerary for us that reflected our interests in art, history, and gardening. Each day was a delight as Adam shared the best of the region in Spring. The countryside was as beautiful as the villages, and Adam made frequent stops so we could take photographs of scenes for future paintings. He was an excellent driver and chose routes that allowed us to see the most scenic aspects of the region. The car was very comfortable, and thanks to Adam, we had one of the best trips of our lives. We truly appreciate our time with you and your services - you are the ultimate professional! I am hoping to be in touch in the future for another visit to the area.”

We are more than happy to create a customised tour for you so just let us know the places you want to visit and the kinds of things you are interested in. We will create a comprehensive and flexible day for you.
Your personal chauffeur will pick you up from your hotel in the Cotswolds and take you to the places agreed on your schedule. But of course we can be flexible on the day, spending more time in the places you enjoy and less in those you don’t.
The benefit of being chauffeur driven is that you can visit many of the hidden treasures and secret villages that the larger tours cannot access. You choose the day’s schedule, depending on your tastes and interests. It could be shopping, secret villages, Cotswolds Gardens, a country pub lunch, afternoon tea, visiting historic manor houses, or enjoying the fantastic views and countryside. Whatever you want to see, we can help arrange a unique custom tour to suit you.

It grew up as a coach stop around the Royal Hunting Lodge, which later became the site of Blenheim Palace.
Burford
Burford is a medieval town on the River Windrush in the Cotswold Hills in West Oxfordshire, England. It is often referred to as the 'gateway' to the Cotswolds. Burford’s famous High Street sweeps downhill towards the River Windrush. Burford is popular with visitors, both for its beauty and history but also for its shopping, especially antiques, and for the wide variety of places to eat, with restaurants, pubs and teashops.

Overlooking a water meadow and the river is Arlington Row, a group of ancient cottages with steeply pitched roofs dating back to the 16th Century. It is a major destination for tourists visiting the traditional rural villages, tea houses and many historic buildings of the Cotswold District.

It is one of England’s outstanding viewpoints and at 1024 feet (312m) above sea level. It is the second highest point on the Cotswold escarpment with unrivalled views. You can survey an expanse of a 62 mile radius and as many as 16 Counties. With Graphic displays on three floors, roof viewing platform and Tower Shop are a must for Cotswold visits.

“Our journey with Adam began when he picked us up from Heathrow and took us to our hotel in the Cotswolds. The following day he picked us up and served as a fabulous guide and wonderful driver for 8 hours and 5 stops through the Cotswolds region , a trip that he planned with us ahead of time. We had a fabulous day and had exactly the Cotswolds experience we were hoping for. He also provided great dinner suggestions for our area and then on our third day expertly transported us to London with a 2 hour stop in Oxford . We highly recommend him as a driver and guide”
“Adam gave us the most marvellous tour through the Cotswolds. He made our trip unforgettable! He picked us up in Burford and the magic began. He toured us through Daylesford, Stow on Wold, Burton on Water, Bibury, Woodstock, Blenheim Palace, and other off the beaten path villages. Adam is amiable, knowledgeable and a pure pleasure to spend time with. He then returned us to central London and we were sad when the day was over. We are now looking forward to booking Stratford on Avon with Adam”
