Christian did a fantastic job showing us all the villages of the Cotswolds. We really enjoyed it & learning about the history of the region.

Absolutely wonderful. Christian was a great driver and even better guide. I would absolutely recommend to anyone not wanting the stress of driving the roads of the Cotswolds and just want to take them in as much as possible.

We lucked out by finding a private tour of the Cotswolds! To have gotten Christian, was a true gift! He drove us through and around 11 towns, giving us history and taking us to the most beautiful places. Christian was super flexible and of course did all the driving and parking which allowed us to sit back, relax and enjoy every minute! He was a great communicator from the start, before we ever arrived in England and continued to be wonderful even after our tour was over.
Christian made sure we saw as much as we could in one day in the Cotswolds. He is full of knowledge and good humour. His car was clean, comfortable and he thought to have water bottles for us. The day was full, fun and wonderful!

This was an amazingly informative and efficient way to see the Cotswolds from Bath. Thank you to Christian for a lovely day and Elena for coordinating as my contact prior. We saw more places and learned more than coordinating on our own or doing a bus tour. Really feel like we got to know the area and Christian tailored the trip to our wants and needs. Highly recommend and would do again!

Had a fantastic day in the Cotswolds with Christian! He is incredibly friendly, knows all the best spots, and even made our lunch reservations at a beautiful restaurant with amazing views and food. Highly recommend his services if you're visiting the area!

Christian was an excellent guide for our private tour of the Cotswolds. We took an ~1 hr ride on GWR out of London and Christian met us at Kemble station. We went the next six hours exploring the amazing, charming and quaint Cotswolds villages. Christian’s communication pre-trip and day of the trip was excellent. I had booked months in advance and Christian confirmed quickly & said he’d reach out a couple weeks prior which he did to get our train timing details. He adapted the tour to our “must see” items and allowed us plenty of time to wander, and have lunch. We saw so many wonderful places in a short time and were dropped off at our station for the return trip on time. Really enjoyed the day and highly recommend this tour.
Susan_S, May 2026
Christian was our driver/guide and we couldn't imagine a better informed, fun and genuinely kind guide to provide my husband and I with a more entertaining day. Christian has lived in Cotswolds for 10 years and is well acquainted with each area, the best of what it offers, all the hidden gems and every curve in the road. When you visit Cotswolds, ask to book with Christian. You'll have a glorious time.

Michael_R, Apr 2026
Christian gave us a wonderful tour of the Cotswolds and was extremely accommodating to any of our requests.
Katie_R, Apr 2026
We had a great experience with Christian. We knew we wanted to tour the Cotswolds but didn't have any set agenda in mind. Christian was very knowledgeable and directed our tour - we ended up seeing lots of charming villages and learned so much about the history of the area. Would definitely recommend and would book him again if we are back in the area!
NK_A, Apr 2026
Christian was excellent from start to finish. We arrived late after 11 and he patiently waited for us without any issues. He took us to multiple beautiful locations across the Cotswolds and shared clear, interesting history at each stop. What stood out was how he made the experience enjoyable for both adults and children, suggesting stops and activities that kept the kids engaged.
He even extended our tour by an extra hour at no additional cost to make sure we got full value. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional throughout. He also sent us photos of places he had by which we really appreciated as we could not capture everything ourselves. On top of that, he gave great advice on places to visit for future trips to the Cotswolds.
Overall, it was a very well organised and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend him and will definitely use his services again.

Excellent tour. Christian was a terrific guide - welcoming, sharp, funny, and deeply knowledgeable about the Cotswolds. We covered a great mix of towns and countryside stops over the course of the day, and the whole experience felt very well thought out and comfortably paced.
What stood out most was Christian himself. Over dinner afterward, both of our teenage boys commented on how cool our tour guide was. That says a lot.
Really appreciated the hospitality, the humor, the local insight, and the thoughtful touches throughout the day, including the calendar. We were very impressed and would absolutely recommend this tour.
Monica_S, Mar 2026
Our 6-hour Cotswolds tour from London was one of the highlights of our trip.
Christian picked us up directly from our station in a pristine black Mercedes-Benz GLB, stocked with snacks and water, such a comfortable and thoughtful touch. From the start, everything felt seamless and premium.
Christian was exceptional; extremely knowledgeable about the region’s history and culture, and he made every stop feel meaningful without ever feeling rushed. As Spanish speakers, we especially appreciated that he gave the entire tour in Spanish, which made the experience feel much more personal and engaging.
We visited Bibury, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Snowhill, Bourton-on-the-Water, Lower Slaughter, Broadway Tower, and Chipping Campden—each one more charming than the last.
Bonus: he’s also a great photographer, so we came home with beautiful photos as well.
Highly recommend this tour if you want a comfortable, well-curated, and truly memorable Cotswolds experience.
Tifany_N, Mar 2026
Unbelievably amazing experience. Christian was so engaging and courteous. Perfect day in the Cotswolds and we saw every highlight. Reasonable price to pick up from London so don’t hesitate to book

We had an amazing time visiting The Cotwolds and beyond with Christian. He showed us so many places; was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. It was my favorite tour during my time in London and was a perfect ending to my Christmas vacation. If you ever saw the movie "The Holiday" the countryside is just as picturesque as it was in the movie. I highly recommend Christian, we would definitely hire him again.
