Service Description

🌞 Daytime Christmas in the Cotswolds Tour Discover the charm of the Cotswolds this festive season with our private Daytime Christmas Tour (8am–4pm), created for couples, families, and small groups of up to 4 guests. This tour is the perfect way to experience the Cotswolds at its most magical — golden-stone villages, festive markets, and cosy country pubs. Your day begins with private pick-up from London or Oxford. Sit back and enjoy the drive through beautiful countryside as we head to Bourton-on-the-Water, where the iconic Christmas tree sparkles in the River Windrush. This postcard-perfect village is one of the Cotswolds’ most beloved festive sights. Next, we’ll explore a traditional Christmas market. Depending on the date, this could be the lively Cirencester Advent Market with hundreds of stalls, mulled wine, and artisan gifts, or the more intimate Stow-on-the-Wold Market, set around a historic market square. By midday, we’ll stop for a pub lunch at one of our favourite country inns. Expect roaring fires, hearty roasts, and festive puddings — The Wild Rabbit in Kingham or The Fleece in Cirencester are two of our top recommendations. The afternoon brings a scenic drive through charming villages like Chipping Campden or Broadway, both beautifully decorated for Christmas. Every corner feels like a storybook — with twinkling lights, historic high streets, and boutique shops. By 4:00 pm, you’ll be comfortably returned to London, Oxford, or your Cotswolds accommodation with festive memories and perhaps some shopping treasures. ✨ This tour is fully customisable. Swap markets for reindeer visits, add a carol service, or upgrade to a farm-to-table Daylesford Organic lunch.
