Seven-Day Cotswolds / West Country / South Wales / Wessex Tour
This example of a seven-day tour includes all the locations in our three-day West Country/Cotswolds Tour plus the magnificent Warwick Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon—Shakespeare’s birthplace—and Longleat— the English estate currently the seat of the Marquis of Bath. However the whole idea of our tours is we can customize the tour to include only what you want to see. Guide price for a “Seven Day Tour” is £3960 / $5190 for up to eight people. The price quoted is for the Driver / Guide, van and Fuel only. The cost of Customer Hotel accommodation and for driver (if necessary) as well as other special costs such as remote pickups / drop offs etc is in addition.
These prices were last updated on 30 July 2018 when the exchange rate was 1.31USD to 1GBP; one of the very best exchange rates Americans have had in years !!
