The Cotswolds stretch across Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and Worcestershire, and most group trips here are about the villages: honey-coloured stone, market towns, gardens and country pubs. Tour groups from London and abroad, wedding guests at barn venues, and garden clubs make up most bookings, along with racegoers heading to Cheltenham.
The beauty of the area is also its challenge for transport: narrow lanes, small car parks and villages where large coaches are not welcome. Planning the right vehicle for each stop is the key to a good day.

For village tours, a minibus or small coach is usually best, as it can stop in more places and use smaller car parks. Large coach tours stick to the bigger villages with coach parking.
Wedding guests at barn venues are often moved by minibus, as farm tracks and lanes can be too narrow for a full-size coach.
Spring brings blossom and the Badminton Horse Trials, early summer the lavender, and summer is the busiest time for tours and weddings. Autumn is quieter and popular with garden clubs, and the Cheltenham racing season runs from autumn to spring.
