Reisroute
De dag begint in Castle Combe, dat ongetwijfeld een van de meest gefotografeerde dorpen van heel Engeland is. Er is hier sinds de 15e eeuw weinig veranderd - geen straatverlichting of tv-antennes. Dit middeleeuwse juweeltje staat bekend om zijn pittoreske huisjes en kabbelende beekjes. Castle Combe, genesteld in een beboste Cotswold-vallei, is door de jaren heen een favoriete filmlocatie in Hollywood geweest voor films als War Horse, Stardust en Doctor Dolittle.
Cirencester is een levendige stad in het hart van de Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Beauty en liefkozend bekend als de 'Hoofdstad van de Cotswolds. Gesticht door de Romeinen, een machtige abdij in de middeleeuwen, en een bloeiende marktstad voor eeuwen sindsdien. Verken de vele zelfstandige winkels, kleurrijke straatjes en indrukwekkende kerk.
Stop voor een traditionele lunch in een historisch pension. Daarna vervolgen we onze reis door het hart van de Cotswolds door enkele pittoreske, met de hand uitgekozen dorpjes en locaties te bezoeken, die bewust geheim worden gehouden. We zullen de nu overspoelde locaties vermijden, die getroffen zijn door het massatoerisme vanuit Londen. Vertrouw op onze lokale expertise om u de echte Cotswolds te laten zien, u een unieke ervaring te geven en de tourbussen en bloggers voor te blijven!
The Cotswolds is beroemd om zijn typisch Engelse landtuinen – deze rustige locatie (ook een geheim) zal u zeker bekoren. Let op, een alternatieve stop zal worden voorgesteld tijdens het schouder herfst / winter seizoen!

5 Stars. Highly recommend booking a tour with Matthias. He is affable, knowledgeable, and engaging. I would happily book another day with him.
Matthias hosted us in the most personable, interesting and generous way. He shared so much knowledge and engaged us in many fact filled and thought provoking conversations. We were fully immersed in the astonishing beauty that is The Cotswolds. Don’t hesitate ; book your tour today!
Great two day tour to Bath and Cotswolds, visited Roman baths and small Cotswolds picturesque villages.
Lovely to show you around and glad you enjoyed it! Best wishes, Matt
Matthias was absolutely amazing! We spend two days seeing the Cotswold and bath. These are must stop destinations and Matt made every minute exciting and comfortable! 10/10! He is a must book for your next trip!
Ah, thanks Megan. Lovely to meet you guys and thanks for booking. Matthias
We had an incredible 2-day tour of the Cotswolds and the City of Bath with Matthias Kurth from Galahad Tours, and I HIGHLY recommend him. Matthias was everything you’d hope for in a guide. Friendly, kind, and exceptionally knowledgeable. He brought each stop to life with fascinating history, local insights, and great storytelling, while also making the experience feel relaxed and personal. His professionalism stood out from start to finish, from seamless planning to thoughtful touches along the way. The Cotswolds were absolutely stunning, and Bath was just as impressive, made even better by having someone who truly knows how to navigate and explain these places in a meaningful way. If you’re considering a tour in this region, don’t hesitate, this was easily one of the highlights of our trip in England. Highly recommended and will book him again when we come back. Cheers!
My pleasure and I’m thrilled you had such a memorable experience. I look forward to welcoming you back for more touring in the future. Take care
Our 2-day luxury tour of Bath and the Cotswolds with Matthias Kurth of Galahad Tours was nothing short of exceptional. From the elegance of Bath to the storybook charm of Cotswold villages like Castle Combe, every moment felt thoughtfully curated and beautifully executed. Matthias provides a truly high-touch, bespoke experience. His deep knowledge, polished professionalism, and warm approach made us feel completely at ease while elevating the entire journey. The pacing was perfect—unhurried yet seamless—allowing us to fully take in each destination without ever feeling rushed. If you’re seeking a refined and memorable way to explore Bath and the Cotswolds, I highly recommend Matthias and Galahad Tours. A first-class, 5-star experience in every sense.
Hi Mary Ellen, wow. Wonderful to read this and thank you so much for the heartfelt review. Come back again one day and best wishes.
We did a full day private Cotswolds tour with Matt, the guide and owner of Galahad Tours. We couldn’t have been more pleased with how everything was arranged. The Mercedes minivan was modern and very comfortable, the pickup was perfectly on time, and the itinerary was clear from the start. Matt combined professionalism with a genuinely friendly approach. He is one of the best guides we’ve ever had. A former journalist (or maybe still one ), his ability to present history and facts goes far beyond standard guiding. Matt is a true storyteller—highly educated, insightful, and a very warm person. He clearly cares deeply about both the places he shows and the people who live there. This tour, without any exaggeration, is a real gem and worth every penny. We spent a wonderful day in the Cotswolds. The villages and towns are so picturesque and full of history that we could easily have spent an entire week there
Dear Vadim, It's wonderful to read how much you enjoyed your private Cotswolds tour with me and thank you and your uncle for booking. I'm sure we will see each other again! Best wishes
My husband and I fulfilled our bucket list with this private tour to the Cotswolds. We could not have imagined a more charming, knowledgable and endearing tour guide as we had with Matt at the helm. A pick up from our hotel in Bath, his warm and humorous personality came through in the comfort of his luxury van. We drove through the magical towns, stopped to walk around ,and enjoyed a delicious lunch in a local pub all while being educated about the history of this extraordinary part of the UK. Matt has a wealth of knowledge about these parts and could answer all of our questions. We happened to be there on November 11 , Remembrance Day, to mark the end of WW1, so ceremonies and moments of silence were acknowledged. Very touching. As Americans I felt we knew so little of the history of this great land and Matt made our awareness a joy to learn. We will definitely be back to experience his other tours. Thanks again Matt. Judy and Steve
Hi Steve & Judy! Wonderful to read all of this and thank you for taking the time to share. It was a delight spending time with you both and I look forward to hopefully welcoming you back one day soon. Very best wishes, Matt
Matthias picked us up early morning (8 am) on a day full of sunshine and blue skies. His new Mercedes van was the perfect way to see this beautiful region of the Cotswolds and his expert driving down narrow roads lined with tall hedgerows was much appreciated. Matt’s knowledge of this area ( we visited 5 villages over the 8.5 hours) was extensive and he brought to life the histories and stories of this fabled English countryside. We stopped for lunch at a perfect pub and later in day he dropped us at a footpath so we could experience the lovely experience of strolling on a footpath ( about 20 minutes) along a stream and grazing sheep from upper Slaughter to Lower, meeting us at other end. He had us home at hotel safe and sound in time for my husband and I to sit down for dinner together and discuss how fabulous the day had been. One to be remembered! We have travelled and toured many places from Cairo to Amsterdam and we rank this day among the very best. If ‘The Cotswolds’ is on your bucket list, we cannot recommend Matthias more. It was perfect. Thanks Matt!
