One of the best ways to explore the Cotswolds is to hire a chauffeur driven car for touring the Cotswolds. The Cotswold region is full of hidden charm and idiosyncrasy that only an experienced and knowledgeable driver will be able to deliver the best tour experience to give you those unforgettable memories of this truly remarkable region of the UK where time has stood still for 300 years.

You will be collected from your hotel and shown a wealth of beautiful sights in this very special part of England, in comfort and at your own pace.To see ancient villages, medieval churches, Manor houses, wonderful gardens and the enchanting Cotswold countryside.You will then return you to your Hotel at the end of the tour.You will not be part of a group with set times frames and routes. 

You can also be collected from your airport/seaport/train station, have tour itineraries tailor made, your accommodation arranged and be returned at the end of your stay in the Cotswolds.

A Cotswolds Packaged Tour by coach or mini-bus is a wonderful way of having companionship and sharing your tour holiday with others.

The Cotswolds area is large, taking in parts of six English Counties, and stuffed full of glorious gardens, stately homes and castles, and 'chocolate box' villages around every corner. We recommend at least a minimum of a three day tour but you could easily spend two weeks and more savouring this unique region.

Below we recommend Touring Companies that will offer you Chauffeur Driven Car Hire services to give you a relaxing and rewarding holiday vacation. Most of the companies listed also provide similar services for Cotswold weddings, events and business or just airport collections.

We also advertise in this section those companies offering Outdoor Activity Tours in and around the Cotswolds for those wanting to participate in various activities the Cotswolds offer such as walking, canoeing and kayaking, cycling and river/camping trips.

CJP COTSWOLD TOURS AND PRIVATE HIRE (BROADWAY)

CJP Tours is a family owned business located in Broadway, and is operated by Chris and his wife Ruth, who have two very 'expensive' teenage daughters, Charlotte and Hannah. Chris is an advanced driver, and has covered over 'one million miles' during his driving career, so you will be in very safe hands.

CJP Cotswold Tours

Having resided in the Cotswolds for over 30 years, Chris has become very familiar with those 'off the beaton track' locations, which are often missed if not familiar with the area.

Every Tour is 'tailor-made' to ensure we visit the attractions that you would like to see. We are not just restricted to The Cotswolds region, just let Chris know where you would like to visit, and he will endeavour to build each destination into the itinerary for you.

The vehicle is a new six seater Chrysler Grand Voyager, which is fully insured for Private Hire and Public Liability, and is also fully licensed by Cotswold District Council. There is plenty of room to stretch your legs, and you also sit higher than in a standard saloon car - So you get to see more too!

Every tour is extremely relaxed and unrushed, this way we get to stop for strolls around the beautiful Villages and Hamlets, and also have chance to visit the many interesting attractions as we go.

Some of the Villages we can visit are; Broadway, Chipping Campden, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water, The Slaughters, Burford, Snowshill and Bibury to name but a few!

Broadway Village - The Jewel of the Cotswolds Hidcote Gardens in the Northern Cotswolds Broughton Castle near Banbury Beautiful Elizabethan Stanway House and Gardens

Please contact Chris and Ruth to discuss your touring itinerary,

Look forward to hearing from you

The Cotswold Village of BiburyRob Little has three competing passions; photography, motorcycling and the Cotswolds!  Coming in a close fourth is to be able to share his love and knowledge of the area where he indulges those passions, with visitors.

Cirencester - the Capital of the CotswoldsTravel is supremely comfortable in a large luxury fully air-conditioned Van with leather seats and privacy glass - elevated so you can see over the hedges and walls!

History Tours : Family History : Genealogy : Welcome to Historical Quests

Historical Quest ToursIf you're visiting the UK this year and want to explore some of its rich history - I'm your man on the spot!
There are many excellent companies offering tours of London, Stratford-upon-Avon, Oxford, etc. But these all follow standard, pre-set routes. If you want to go off at a tangent, follow up an interesting sideline, or just linger, it's difficult or impossible to do because of the need to keep larger groups together.

I'm offering to be your Friend in England - working with you to design a history tour which will be a voyage of discovery, tailor-made to your interests; and as flexible as you wish.

From the time you contact me, I can be working on your behalf - deciding the best routes, checking out and booking accommodation, negotiating entry to sites which might not normally be open to you, sending you up to date information on your area of interest. So all you need to do is book your flight!  When the trip is ready, we'll do it together in style - in my Rolls-Royce! What's your fancy?

If you don't have the time for a longer tour I can offer one or even half day trips, or combine delivering you to or from the airport with an opportunity to see an historical gem on the way. The possibilities are endless, and each trip I make is a voyage of discovery for me, too!

Tour Gems Cotswold Tours

Welcome to Tour Gems operated by Genny Stallabrass

Come with me on a journey of discovery through the area I grew up in and know so well. Travel in the comfort of my air-conditioned 'people-carrier' and get good views over the hedges and walls, not to mention the other cars on the road! I carry a maximum of six people, so you can be assured of plenty of personal attention.

Choose a fixed tour at a fixed price, or let me work one out for you to include all the places you would like to see (within reason), where I charge an hourly rate - contact me for a quote. Or maybe you haven't got a whole day but would still like to see something. No problem - I can work out a shorter tour.

My fixed tours have been worked out to include a bit of everything, so you will see the loveliest villages and plenty of gorgeous scenery; green fields crisscrossed with dry stone walls, clear trout streams, wooded valleys and so much more. And then there are the superb views from the Cotswold Edge, among the best in England. Because I know the area so well I can take you along all the little back roads that lead to the less well known and often more beautiful small villages. It is in these peaceful places that the true essence of the Cotswolds lies.

My tours are relaxed, with plenty of time to see everything. I will stop at your request whenever possible so that you can take photographs; believe me, I know how frustrating it can be to see that perfect picture flashing by the car window! Also, I will not herd you around like cattle and give you no time to enjoy yourselves, and if the weather is bad, I can vary the tours - there's no point going to a great view point if the hills are covered in mist!

The day is yours to enjoy - after all, it's your holiday. So why not give me a try?
I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Senator Travel

Chauffeur - Guide Service

Helping you make the most of your visit

Tours of:

The Cotswolds, Britain & France

Senator Travel is a family run business, established in 1991. We aim to combine the best elements of experienced guiding with high quality chauffeuring.

Over the years, we have served all manner of clients, from retired couples to heads of multi-national companies. We are proud to receive recommendations and referrals from previous customers, the local tourist offices, and from leading travel agencies in America specializing in Tours of Britain.

Senator Tour Clients

Helping you plan your itinerary, and offering suggestions for accommodation is all part of the service. Tours are tailored to your specific interests, and conducted at your preferred pace.

Your guide can answer questions on a wide range of subjects, helping you to appreciate your visit to the full. History, Architecture, Wildlife and Countryside, are just some of the areas of expertise about which he can enlighten you in an informal way.

The other duty of a driver-guide is to act as a mindful host, looking after your interests. Our main driver/guide is Christopher, who can soon establish a rapport with all age groups.

Senator Travel drivers all hold an Advanced Motoring qualification. Our cars are top-of-the-range luxury and executive models. Plus, we have years of experience guiding. There are other companies offering ‘Heritage’ Tours, but they cannot match this combination of cars, qualification and experience, plus the daily mileage allowance is not as generous.

See our website for more information.
