About Us
Born from a deep love of Britain’s countryside and genuine hospitality, Exclusive Experiences UK builds on the trusted legacy of Cotswold Tours & Travel, founded by the Dale family and inspired by their 300-year connection to rural life. Rooted in values of faith, warmth and authentic connection, we curate luxury UK travel experiences, private tours in England, and intimate, local-led countryside encounters that give travellers rare access to Britain’s culture, heritage, and landscapes through the people who live and protect them.
Our mission is to connect discerning travellers with extraordinary locals—farmers, bakers, gardeners, artisans, and hosts—creating tailor made UK experiences, exclusive countryside tours, and unforgettable journeys that reveal Britain beyond the guidebooks and leave guests with memories to last a lifetime. We want to celebrate what makes the UK unique.
Plan your trip
As a specialist local travel company for the Cotswolds and across the UK, we act as your on-the-ground destination partner handling every detail of your journey from start to finish. What truly sets us apart is our fully in-house operation: from meticulous itinerary design to our own professional driver-guides and luxury vehicles, every exclusive experience is personally created, hosted, and delivered by our family-led team.
Who We Are and What Do We Do
Exclusive Experiences UK was created to showcase the very best of Britain through the people who know it best. Built on the long-standing reputation of our sister company, Cotswold Tours & Travel, and shaped by the Dale family’s multi-generational ties to rural England, we curate authentic, high-end experiences that open doors beyond the guidebooks. From private countryside encounters and historic estates to artisan workshops, gardens, farms, and heritage sites, every experience is carefully selected for its quality, character, and sense of place - designed for travelers seeking meaningful, immersive journeys rather than mass-market sightseeing.
We are a family-run team driven by values of hospitality, integrity, and genuine connection.
Working directly with local hosts across England and the wider UK, our mission is to protect what makes each region special while giving guests rare access to its landscapes, traditions, and stories. Whether you are adding a single exclusive experience to your trip or building a wider bespoke itinerary, Exclusive Experiences UK exists to help you explore Britain in a deeper, more personal way—creating unforgettable moments and lifelong memories along the way.
Our Promise to You
Through Exclusive Experiences, we curate intimate, local-led encounters across the UK — from storytellers and artisans to farming families and heritage keepers. Every experience is crafted with integrity, care, and attention to detail, delivering authentic luxury, thoughtful hospitality, and privileged access that allows you to experience Britain not simply as a visitor, but as a welcomed guest.
Countryside Tourism Ambassador Scheme: A New Vision
If you are a local and have a story to tell let us bring you closer to tourism...
Our passion and aim is to establish the largest network of skilled local individuals and small businesses in the UK that embody the unique culture, heritage, and spirit of the English and Welsh countryside. The Countryside Tourism Ambassador Scheme aims to connect visitors with authentic, immersive experiences that celebrate local traditions, talents, and ways of life.
We are always on the look for new opportunities. Ambassadors could include farmers, artisans, shop owners, crafters, conservationists, historians, or anyone passionate about showcasing the richness of countryside life.
