Cotswolds, Oxford & Stratford-upon-Avon Private Tour

Discover historic England on a private day tour combining the world-famous university city of Oxford, the beautiful Cotswolds countryside and Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon.

With Minibus Man, the vehicle is exclusively for your group. Travel together in comfort, enjoy the scenery between destinations and experience the day at a more relaxed pace without sharing a large scheduled tour coach.

Oxford

Begin your adventure in Oxford, one of England’s most historic and recognisable cities.

Famous around the world for its university, Oxford is filled with impressive architecture, historic colleges, cobbled streets and fascinating buildings spanning centuries of English history.

Spend time exploring the city centre at your own pace. Depending on your interests and available time, you may wish to see some of Oxford’s famous university buildings, wander through the historic streets, visit local shops and cafés or simply enjoy the atmosphere of this remarkable city.

Oxford is also an excellent destination for photography, with impressive architecture around almost every corner.

Explore the Cotswolds

Leaving the city behind, we’ll head into the Cotswolds for a completely different side of England.

The Cotswolds is renowned for rolling countryside, traditional stone buildings, historic market towns and picturesque villages.

Rather than simply travelling along major roads between destinations, the aim is to make the journey itself part of your experience.

Depending on your chosen itinerary, available time and traffic conditions, your tour can include selected Cotswolds towns or villages.

Potential stops can include places such as:

• Burford
• Bourton-on-the-Water
• Stow-on-the-Wold
• Chipping Campden

Your exact route can be discussed when booking, allowing us to create an itinerary that works for your group rather than trying to rush through as many locations as possible.

Stratford-upon-Avon

Continue north to Stratford-upon-Avon, the historic Warwickshire town best known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare.

Situated beside the River Avon, Stratford combines literary history with attractive historic streets, traditional buildings, riverside walks, shops, cafés and restaurants.

You can spend your time exploring independently and choose the attractions that interest you most.

Popular places to discover include Shakespeare-related attractions, the historic town centre and the riverside area.

Whether you’re fascinated by Shakespeare or simply want to experience another beautiful English town, Stratford-upon-Avon makes an excellent final destination on this private sightseeing route.

A Tour Built Around You

Every group is different.

Some guests want to spend more time exploring Oxford. Others would rather prioritise the Cotswolds or Shakespeare’s Stratford-upon-Avon.

That’s one of the advantages of private touring.

Tell us what’s most important to your group and we’ll discuss a practical itinerary based on your collection point, available time and preferred destinations.

We don’t believe in rushing guests from one photo stop to another simply to tick destinations off a list.

Executive Minibus Travel

Sit back and enjoy the journey while we take care of the driving.

Our executive minibus service is ideal for groups who want to explore England together without worrying about trains, parking, navigating country roads or arranging several separate vehicles.

Door-to-door collection can be arranged from your hotel, accommodation, home or another agreed meeting point.
