Planning your Cotswolds Adventure

Plan Your Perfect Cotswolds Trip

30-Minute Personal Trip Planning Session

Planning a visit to the Cotswolds can be surprisingly complicated. With hundreds of villages, attractions, hotels and tour options, it’s easy to waste time travelling between places that aren’t actually worth it.

In this private 30-minute session, I’ll help you design a simple, realistic plan for your trip based on your interests, travel style, and how long you have in the region.

I work as a professional tour guide in the Cotswolds, so this advice comes from spending most days travelling around the villages, countryside, hotels and attractions that visitors come here to see.

What We Can Cover

During the session we can discuss:

• Which villages and towns are actually worth visiting
• How to structure a realistic itinerary
• Where to stay in the Cotswolds
• The best ways to travel around the region
• Hidden villages most tourists miss
• Private tours and experiences
• Restaurant and pub recommendations

You can ask anything about planning your trip.

Who This Is For

This session is ideal if you:

• Are visiting the Cotswolds for the first time
• Want help planning a 1–3 day itinerary
• Are deciding where to stay
• Want to avoid tourist traps
• Need help choosing transport or tours

What Happens After the Session

After our call you will receive:

• A short summary of the key recommendations we discussed
• Suggested places to visit based on your interests
• Links to useful guides and resources

During the session I may also recommend hotels, tours and experiences that I personally rate highly.
