We have 4 Mercedes minibus vehicles that can each seat 16 people plus the driver.
“Guinevere” and “Tiffany” each have seats in pairs on the offside of the vehicle, and in a single row on the nearside with a central aisle. There are three seats across the back of the minibus. Guinevere has aisle seats which can extend into the central aisle to allow extra room for persons of larger size.
“Katie” has seats in pairs on the offside of the vehicle, and in a single row on the nearside with a central aisle. There are four seats across the back of the minibus.
“Roxie” (pictured above) has seats in pairs on the offside of the vehicle and in a single row on the nearside with a centre aisle. The front-most single seat on the nearside is a folding crew seat. There are three seats across the back of the minibus.
Our company is a registered PSV Operator (licence number PD2019742) licensed by the West Midlands Traffic Commissioner of the to operate four 16-seater minibus vehicles.
Access to each minibus is on the nearside, up 3 clearly marked steps; this will benefit you if you have a visual impairment.
At the top of the steps on the left is a handrail for your convenience.
We do not have wheelchair access but if you wish to bring a lightweight, manual folding wheelchair or walker (for your convenience) and are able to use the steps we would be happy to transport this during the tour. Please let us know at the time of booking if you would like to bring a wheelchair or walker.
Our friendly guides are always happy to help. However, for the safety and liability of our team members kindly note:
- Tour guests are responsible for loading/unloading luggage, including mobility equipment, on/off of the minibus, and for folding/unfolding wheelchairs, walkers etc.
- We cannot transport non-foldable manual wheelchairs, or any electric wheelchairs or mobility scooters.
- We cannot offer personal assistance, including but not limited to pushing wheelchairs, transferring passengers from a wheelchair to the minibus, acting as a sighted guide, etc.
Guests who require personal assistance should be accompanied by someone who can provide such personal assistance, and consider whether a Go Cotswolds tour is suitable.
All minibuses have a fire extinguisher and a substantial first aid kit. Our driver-guides are trained to use this equipment.
