Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers
It depends on the size of the baggage! We only have a small luggage compartment so space is limited. Please e-mail us if you want to bring baggage and we’ll tell you if we have space available.
We don’t include meals in the tour prices because the Cotswolds towns are full of Delightful pubs and cafes and guests have told us that they enjoy choosing their own lunch and refreshment stops
Each tour incorporates several stops where you can walk around, get refreshments, use restrooms and go exploring. The driving time between stops is 30 – 45 minutes.
The tour is not suitable for small children as it is a minibus tour and there is a substantial amount of time spent driving. We usually suggest that it works best for children over 8 years of age.
We can pick you up from Oxford Railway Station. Please let us know what time your train is arriving/departing and we will be there waiting for you!
If you are staying in a hotel on the north side of the city – Banbury or Woodstock Road we can pick you up and drop you off as these are our routes in and out of the city. We don’t pick up from other hotels in and around the city because this would take too long at the beginning and end of each tour. If you have special circumstances or reduced mobility, please contact us and we will see what we can do to accommodate you.
It depends where you want to be picked up. Sometimes this is possible but it will mostly be if you are staying somewhere north of Oxford. Please contact us if you want to be picked up outside Oxford and we will let you know if we can help.
Cheesy answer. Any time of year is great to visit the Cotswolds. Each season brings something individual and special to the Cotswolds so it is beautiful year-round.
Unfortunately, we have very limited luggage space on the minibus and can’t accommodate wheelchairs.
We don’t take bookings for seats as the minibus is small and we have a maximum of 12 guests per tour. Seats are therefore allocated on a first come first served basis. If you have special circumstances please contact us in advance and we will try to accommodate you.
Currently, face coverings are not compulsory on our tours, but they are recommended.
Our minibus is cleaned and sanitised before every tour. All drivers and guides are fully vaccinated and regularly take a rapid antigen test. Hand gel is provided on the minibus.
Yes. The minibus, driver and guides are all covered by public liability insurance.
Yes. Absolutely. All payments are processed via our booking system operated by FareHarbor and Stripe and are completely secure.
