Frequently Asked Questions.
Booking & Logistics
-
My Monday tour departs from Banbury railway station at 9am, making it easy to arrive by direct train from London Marylebone in under an hour. If you’re staying locally in Banbury free pick-ups are offered.
For private experiences, local pickups within a 15 mile radius of Banbury are included.
-
We aim to return to Banbury by 5:00pm, giving you a full, unhurried day exploring the Cotswolds.
-
Our tours are suitable for guests aged 12 and over. The pace, walking, and content are designed with adults and older children in mind rather than young families.
-
The Cotswolds have something to offer in every season, and tours run whatever the weather. If conditions change, I may tweak the route or the order of our stops so we can make the most of the day.
In the rare case of genuinely severe weather that would affect safety or enjoyment, I’ll be in touch to discuss rescheduling.
-
I run my Monday tour with as few as 2 guests, so you can book with confidence even if your group is small.
Private experiences can be arranged for 1-7 guests.
-
Your ticket includes a full day of guided touring, transport in my small-group vehicle, entry fee to Rollright Stones and a bottle of water for each guest. Lunch and entry to Broadway Tower are not included, giving you the freedom to choose what you fancy on the day.
-
Banbury railway station has pay-and-display parking on site, and there are several council car parks a short walk away in the town centre if you'd prefer a cheaper option for the full day.
-
Yes, we're happy to store a reasonable amount of luggage in the vehicle for the day — just let us know in advance if you'll have anything larger than a small suitcase or backpack.
-
I'd recommend booking at least 2-3 weeks ahead where possible, especially for weekend dates, though I'll always do my best to accommodate shorter notice.
-
Private experiences are entirely flexible — we can follow our classic route, focus on particular villages or sights you're keen to see, or build something new around your interests. Just let me know what you have in mind when you enquire.
