Meeting and pickup
We typically pick up from any hotel or accommodation in West, Central and City of London, but if you want to be collected from anywhere else, just ask, and we’ll make it happen.
Likewise if you want to be dropped somewhere different, stay overnight, or generally mix things up then you’re in the right place. We can be fully flexible to make sure you have the perfect trip.
Depending on details there might be a slight change of timing or a small fee, but pretty much anything you need, we can make it happen.
We’re all about making your day as relaxed and enjoyable as possible, and that starts from the moment you book.
We’ll reach out to you if you need any assistance with your travel plans and as the tour approaches we’ll share all the info, handy tips and contact details.
The day before the tour your guide will message you by SMS to share their contact details and field any last minute questions and they will then contact you on arrival at your chosen pickup point.
From that point on they’ll look after you and share their Cotswolds with you, adapting the tour to suit your preferences and generally showing off this beautiful area.
