It’s a wrap!!! We can say that the official 2018 season has come to an end and also that the 2019 season will begin earlier (March if the weather permits). The season finished on a rather windy and wet night at Cowley Manor with Rick transporting guests & traders to and from the car parks for a charity event. It’s great to see that Rick is started to being used in a promotional role as well as the tours and weddings. So many people have showed an interest in the Tuk whenever

Here we are again as the months continue to fly by. It’s been a great end to the summer and it was brilliant to get my first repeat customer back who came on another trip with friends. With this I took the opportunity to have a look around a couple of different villages not currently on any of our routes in preparation for additional new routes next year and with this visited a new pub for lunch. It was certainly a hit with the girls and I plan to try it out with my family be

It’s that time of the month again so here we go again with the now becoming famous Cotswold Tuk Tuk Tour Blog. It has been another outstanding month in August with an array of different tours all over the Cotswolds. As I said last month, please accept my apologies if I have been unable to fit you in during the month. I found myself looking at the business model again….do we get more Tuks and drivers to accommodate these busy periods or not? After discussion we arrive back to

Well it’s finally here! No, not spring, the 2018 Tuk Tuk season! One of my first tours includes an outing that combines a full day tour with Mrs D’s fantastic vintage afternoon tea. My customers are coming all the way from the north of England and are using the Tuk as part of a birthday celebration, and I’m not sure who’s more excited me or them! As I mentioned last month the Tuk now has had a brand new set of rain / wind covers so no matter what the weather throws at us this

Hello to all my faithful followers out there who continue to read this blog. I would like to say that spring has arrived but looking out of my window it’s a no no. The #beastfromtheeast is keeping the Tuk inside at the moment! However last weekend it had two trips out for prospective wedding couples. The thermometer was showing -2 degrees but we all still braved it without the covers. The blog is slightly late this month as I was waiting for the first fitting of the new cover

So ‘here we are and here we are and here we go’ was what I used when writing the initial blog less than a year ago now when launching Cotswold Tuk Tuk Tours and I’m proud to be able to say ‘here we go again’ in what promises to be another fun packed year for all my customers old and new. Last year was an amazing experience and I had such a fantastic time meeting so many nice people along the way and there was never a day when out on a booking without people just coming over f

So that’s it as 2017 comes to an end. This time last year the Tuk had just arrived and was still in storage as I started to make preparations for putting in place my unique business venture. Along the way it’s been challenging and I will try to highlight some of the many memorable experiences that I have encountered. I’ve always been a people person and I was never in doubt that if it took off I would enjoy it. It’s just so enjoyable driving people around who are having a goo

Well the season seems to have finally officially finished with the last trip out being on the 11th November and boy was it a chilly finish to the season. The end of October and early November turned out to be the busiest period of the year with the Tuk out four weekends in a row. The blankets have really come in handy and the last customers even brought their own hand warmers which they used in-between sitting in front of roaring log fires in their many pub visits! It’s been

Hello again all you Tuk Tuk fans as I find myself repeating from last month “as the very first Tuk Tuk season draws to an end” I will use the excuse that I’m new to this game and therefore underestimated just how popular it was going to be. No sooner have I completed a job and I’m thinking the season is nearly over and then another one comes in. Each request will be reviewed but I’m thinking at the end of November I may have to enforce a break or end up getting some Christmas

Hi again to you all, as the very first Tuk Tuk season draws to an end (or so I originally planned). When we first started out on this epic venture earlier this year the initial view was that it would quieten down after we went past August bank holiday. Well the exact opposite has happened - it seems that as we didn’t start till late June the word and our advertising is only just reaching our customers, and the bookings just keep coming in. On the website and the blog last mon
