Chauffeur-Driven Tours in the Cotswolds
Born and raised in the Cotswolds, Robert from RM Cotswold Chauffeur & Tours has a wealth of local knowledge that he loves to share with guests as he guides them to hidden gems, historic landmarks, quiet corners, and stunning views. The places that locals know of, and visitors would miss, are second nature to Robert. This touring chauffeur experience goes beyond a drive in the countryside, offering the visitor a way to connect with the character and timeless beauty of the Cotswolds.
Discover Local Hidden Gems
Exploring the Cotswolds with a touring chauffeur can transform a simple journey into a richly immersive experience. Tours can be full-day, half-day, or arranged around one’s individual plans. They can include guided commentary or remain a peaceful, scenic drive. Tours are always relaxed and informal, allowing plenty of time to wander, browse, and soak up the atmosphere and ambience. There is always the opportunity to pause for a leisurely lunch or homemade afternoon tea in a classic village setting, making each tour feel effortlessly enjoyable.
Having been raised in the Cotswolds, Robert brings a lifetime of local understanding to every route. This designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty stretches from Chipping Campden in the north, down through the picturesque Stroud Valleys and south to Bath. The region’s gentle valleys rise westward from the meadows of the upper Thames to the striking Cotswold Escarpment, offering panoramic views across the Severn Valley, the fertile Vale of Evesham, the historic Forest of Dean, and even the dramatic silhouettes of the Malvern Hills and the Welsh Black Mountains beyond.
Each tour is designed to reflect your interests, introducing you to remarkable locations and memorable experiences throughout the Cotswold hills.
Retail & Cultural Experiences
For guests drawn to artisan produce, rural charm, and the contemporary countryside culture, visits to Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water, Broadway, Chipping Campden, and Daylesford Organic should satisfy one’s appetite. During any tour, time can always be found for a little retail therapy. Around every corner, you will find small independent shops selling a wide variety of goods and local produce, or you could sit and watch the world go by in one of the many cosy cafés.
Culturally, the Cotswolds has many places to visit, from Historic Houses and National Trust properties such as Hidcote Manor, Snowshill, Chedworth Roman Villa, and Chastleton House to the Saxon Town of Winchcombe, home to Sudeley Castle (the resting place of Henry VIII’s sixth wife, Kathrine Parr).
