What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Important note: we are not able to offer pick up and drop off in London. If you have booked a private tour including pick up, simply send us the address of your accommodation in the Cotswolds and we will collect you from that location on the morning of your tour. At the end of your tour we can either return you to your accommodation, or drive you to Kemble train station. Please note, if you are being picked up from your Cotswolds accommodation, the tour route may need to be adjusted to ensure we are not spending extended periods of time travelling between each planned stop.
If you have booked a private tour without pick up, please meet us at Kemble Station, which is directly accessible by train from London Paddington. We advise booking the 8:30am train, arriving at 9:40am. The meeting place is the South Platform Car Park, just outside the station exit.
