FAQs

Our Cotswold Expeditions guests travel in a small convoy in their own vehicle.  

It’s great because you can bring everyone - all the kids plus the family dog(s).

We proceed at a modest pace and you’ll be in visual / audio contact with the guide vehicle at all times.  It’s easy and fun.

During the day, we’ll frequently jump out and explore the ‘must see’ places and exciting new discoveries. 

Zoom allows our guests can interact as we go – asking questions, making comments, etc.  Everybody in your vehicle can take part in the Zoom event - the more, the merrier.

For safety reasons, visual images are not sent to your devices whilst we are moving (so as not to distract the driver). 

Both tours start in Moreton in Marsh.  Your personal guide is Michael who will greet you and look after you for the duration of your tour.

Both tours finish at the Falkland Arms, Great Tew, Oxfordshire, where you can stay as long as you like.  You could even book an overnight stay - https://www.falklandarms.co.uk

Yes absolutely, just make this known on the Booking Form.  Our Pub venues will take that extra care.

Cotswold Expeditions have planned a special menu for our guests with several delicious food options, plus a drink of your choice, all of which is provided with our compliments.  Just take a look at this link here - https://www.falklandarms.co.uk.  If you still want to go a la carte, this won’t be covered in the booking price and will be extra.

Wagging tails and clean bowls tell us all we need to know.

Yes absolutely.  But we will assume you have the in-helmet Bluetooth tech to enable full participation in our Zoom event.

Relax.  All pay-and-display parking is taken care of by Cotswold Expeditions, as are the admission charges to National Monuments.

No problem.  Anybody can pay, but Cotswold Expeditions still need to know the names and details of those actually coming on the tour.   This is important for the Zoom invitation and for your delicious, Cotswold Pub lunch.

Yes, we carry a basic first aid kit for safety, but if you have any specific requirements please be sure to bring any medications with you.

We remind you and your children know not to pick up unidentified mushrooms or berries, and take care not to dive into stinging nettles and get snagged on thorns.   

We run our Cotswold Expeditions in all weathers, all year round.  It would take a lot to stop us, but if Cotswold Expeditions have to cancel due to bad weather, i.e. deep snow and hazardous ice, we will send you a cancellation alert in good time and offer you another day.

Don’t worry, we only keep information securely in order to make your Cotswold Expedition wonderful as well as safe.  The only other information we keep is what you give us permission for, such as signing up for our Cotswold Expedition Newsletter.
