Itinerário
Os passageiros que se juntam ao passeio em Stratford-upon-Avon serão recolhidos do Terminal de Coach de Shakespeare's Birthplace às 08.50. Em seguida, viajamos para a cidade de Cotswold de Moreton-in-Marsh, onde recolhemos nossos hóspedes finais da estação ferroviária de Moreton-in-Marsh às 09.30. De Moreton-in-Marsh, há 15 minutos de carro até a nossa primeira parada oficial. Vamos fornecer uma introdução para o tour em caminho.
Descubra os segredos de The Rollright Stones, o antigo círculo de pedras de Cotswolds – um ‘mini Stonehenge’! Este é um lugar fascinante para começar nosso passeio, aprender alguns mitos e lendas do inglês antigo e apreciar as vistas panorâmicas da zona rural de Cotswolds. A entrada no The Rollright Stones custa uma doação de £ 2 por pessoa, mas fazemos essa doação para você mediante acordo com o The Rollright Trust.
A caminho da nossa próxima parada, desfrute de um passeio panorâmico (aproximadamente 40 minutos) pela pitoresca paisagem rural que ficou famosa pelo programa de TV ‘Clarkson’s Farm’* e descubra pequenas aldeias de Cotswold, longe dos roteiros mais conhecidos. (*Observe que, embora este passeio passe por terras agrícolas de propriedade de Jeremy Clarkson, não passamos ou paramos na Diddly Squat Farm Shop. As filas para a loja da fazenda podem durar horas e simplesmente não há tempo para visitá-la. passeio de um dia!)
Esta vibrante e autêntica cidade mercantil de Cotswold é um lugar maravilhoso para aprender sobre a história da região, fotografar casas clássicas de Cotswold e procurar deliciosos bolos caseiros.
Shhh… não conte a ninguém, senão isso se tornará a próxima armadilha para turistas! Lindo, remoto e intocado, Guiting Power oferece um pedaço da vida rural genuína de Cotswolds. Tome uma cerveja no pub local ou experimente um dos rolinhos de salsicha favoritos de David Beckham!
Talvez não seja tão secreto, mas a ‘Jóia da Coroa de Cotswolds’ é imperdível! Há galerias de arte para visitar, varejistas independentes para apoiar e lindos chalés tradicionais para admirar.
Apaixone-se pela tranquila e charmosa vila de Stanton, que é regularmente eleita uma das vilas mais bonitas e preservadas de Cotswolds.
Deixando Stanton para trás, agora é às 17h e hora de dizer adeus a alguns dos nossos passageiros na estação Moreton-in-Marsh. Esperamos que você tenha feito amigos e boas recordações! Você não precisa terminar seu tour onde começou - se você se juntou a nós em Stratford-upon-Avon, por que não passar uma noite ou duas na bonita cidade de mercado de Cotswolds de Moreton-in-Marsh? Temos bastante espaço para sua bagagem, e Moreton tem várias opções de acomodação, bem como uma estação de trem para sua viagem posterior.

I usually leave the vacation bookings to my wife because her choices are consistently impeccable, and once again she didn't disappoint. Our guide, Martin, was punctual, courteous, and thoroughly professional. Having grown up in the region, he brought a unique perspective and depth of local knowledge that simply can't be found in a guidebook. In addition to the sites listed on the itinerary, he made several impromptu stops at hidden gems of historical, literary, and cultural significance that greatly enriched the experience. Martin is also a true history enthusiast, with an impressive command of both the documented history of the region and its fascinating mythology. His passion was evident throughout the tour and made every stop more engaging. The tour itself was excellent, striking the perfect balance between guided commentary and ample free time to explore at our own pace. What truly elevated the experience, however, was our exceptional guide, Martin. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the area transformed an already outstanding tour into one of the highlights of our trip.
Our party arrived in Cotswolds for art finding trip starting in tetbury was amazing our famouslordhillmuseum on line is highly rated by people that like interior antiques our curators are liking our buying trip so much it cool place to visit
Dave was very knowledgeable and friendly! Learned so much about the Cotswolds and the surrounding areas. Would highly recommend!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your day with Dave and that his knowledge and friendly approach helped you learn so much about the Cotswolds and the surrounding area. Thank you for your recommendation—we hope to welcome you back for another tour soon!
Having visited the Cotswolds a couple of times, I was eager to see some of the smaller, off-the-beaten-path villages and sites that I hadn't been to as well as to revisit a couple of my favorites. Colin is an excellent tour guide, and being a resident as well, is a great ambassador for this lovely region! He shared history and tips for what to see at each stop (I'd visited Broadway before, but didn't know I could say hello to the foxhounds...I love the church in Stanton...oh, and those sausage rolls at The Cotswolds Guy really are amazing!), and having a smaller group really makes for a more personal experience - lots of opportunity to ask questions, and to go places that a full-size bus would be difficult to manage. If you don't have your own car in the Cotswolds, then a tour like this is the best way to see more of the area than just whatever town you're staying in. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted that our Secret Cotswolds small-group tour gave you the opportunity to discover some of the hidden villages and lesser-known gems that make this region so special. Colin's local knowledge, passion for the area, and personal connection to the Cotswolds help create an authentic experience that goes beyond the typical sightseeing tour. We're glad you enjoyed revisiting favourites like Broadway and Stanton, discovering local traditions, and sampling some of the delicious local food along the way! One of the biggest advantages of a small-group Cotswolds tour is the flexibility to explore charming countryside villages and scenic locations that larger coach tours simply can't access. It's wonderful to hear that the intimate group size allowed plenty of opportunities to ask questions and enjoy a more personalised experience. For visitors without a car, we agree that our guided Cotswolds day tour is one of the best ways to experience the area's beautiful villages, rich history, stunning countryside, and hidden treasures. Thank you for highly recommending us, and we hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds again very soon!
My husband and I did the Cotswolds in a Day tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. We booked the Secret Cotswolds Tour for the next day. This tour was our least favorite of the two. Our guide was nice and personable. We did see some new and interesting things, but it mainly felt like a long, rushed drive through the region. We stopped in several small villages and were given approximately 40 minutes to look around. But after about 5 minutes you had seen everything. The tour isn't a bust, but I hope the company revisits it and makes some adjustments.
Hi Pamela and Paul, we're delighted that you enjoyed our Cotswolds in a Day tour. We're sorry to hear that the Secret Cotswolds tour wasn't quite what you were looking for. The Secret Cotswolds tour is designed specifically to showcase some of the quieter, less-visited villages and hidden corners of the region. Rather than focusing on major attractions and tourist highlights, the emphasis is on slowing down, wandering through beautiful villages, discovering local shops, enjoying a tea room or simply soaking up the atmosphere and scenery that make the Cotswolds so special. We appreciate that this style of touring won't suit everyone, and that some visitors prefer larger destinations with a greater number of attractions. We do, however, allow plenty of time at each stop so that guests can explore at their own pace and make the most of each location. While we're sorry that the tour didn't meet your expectations, we're pleased to say that the feedback from other guests travelling on the same tour was extremely positive, with many highlighting exactly the relaxed pace and off-the-beaten-track locations that the tour was designed to offer. Thank you again for travelling with Go Cotswolds, and we wish you all the best for your future travels.
Good combination of sights, nice driving through beautiful landscapes. Flexibility which gave a longer stop in Burford. Good driver/guide
Thank you very much for your kind review, Sonja. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the combination of sights and the beautiful Cotswolds scenery along the way. It’s great to know the flexibility of the tour allowed you to spend a little extra time in Burford—one of our favourite historic towns. We’re also pleased to hear your positive feedback about your driver/guide. Providing a relaxed, enjoyable experience with local insight and flexibility is exactly what we aim for on our small-group Cotswolds tours. Thank you again for choosing Go Cotswolds. We hope to welcome you back for another lovely day in the Cotswolds in the future.
Elaine, was an excellent guide. Very friendly, helpful and informative about all the locations. We had plenty of time to explore each location and never felt under any time pressure. My two friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the day and my friend Val, was very appreciative over the birthday card received from the company. We would all recommend GoCotswolds tours. Five stars from us.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable day exploring the Cotswolds with us, and that Elaine helped make the experience so informative, friendly, and relaxed. It’s exactly what we aim for on our small-group tours—plenty of time to explore each location without ever feeling rushed. We’re also so pleased to hear your kind words about the birthday card for Val—we’re glad it added a special touch to your day. Thank you all for choosing Go Cotswolds and for recommending us so highly. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back again soon for another five-star experience!
We did three tours with Go Cotswolds and all were wonderful. This one though, struck a chord with me. From walking around the Rollright Stones in the early morning as the birds sang and the sun shined, to visiting Hailes Church and Abbey along the Cotswolds Way, and so many other wonderful stops, I spent the day immersed in history and beauty. Don’t miss this tour!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for joining us on three different Go Cotswolds tours! We’re delighted our Secret Cotswolds tour resonated so deeply with you. There’s something truly special about exploring the ancient Rollright Stones in the peaceful morning light, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed discovering the history, beauty, and hidden gems of the Cotswolds with us. Hailes Church, Hailes Abbey, and the scenic Cotswold Way are some of our favourite locations too, offering a perfect blend of history, countryside, and authentic English charm. Your recommendation means a great deal to our team, especially for travellers looking for unique small-group Cotswolds tours filled with local history, stunning landscapes, and unforgettable experiences. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another adventure in the beautiful Cotswolds!
I went into this trip completely blind - my friend reserved it and I decided to join in without knowing what to expect. What an absolute joy it was! Our guide was Martin and he was personable and helpful throughout the day. The bus was right on time and was a mid-sized vehicle, rather than a huge coach - I think it seated maybe 12 or 15? We only had six or seven people with us so it was easy to chat and hear everything, and ask questions. I really enjoyed that all the talk was during the drive, and for the most part, we were able to just wander around at each stop, prioritizing what was of interest to us (sometimes just a cup of tea!), rather than follow around someone with a flag and travel at someone else’s pace. I really enjoyed this tour and the other tour I took with GoCotswolds and would happily book with them again.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that your “blind booking” turned into such a joyful experience! Martin will be so pleased to hear your kind comments — he loves sharing the Cotswolds with guests and making everyone feel welcome and relaxed throughout the day. We’re also really glad you enjoyed the small-group style of the tour (maximum 16) and the freedom to explore each stop at your own pace. We know that sometimes the simple pleasures — like a quiet wander or a good cup of tea — are what makea day in the Cotswolds special. Thank you again for joining us on not just one, but two Go Cotswolds tours. We’d love to welcome you back again in the future for a third tour.
The secret Coswolds was probably our favorite of the three tours of the Cotswolds. Mark was our tour guide and he was fantastic. The visit to the ancient stones ( 3800 BC! ) was very interesting. Mark even demonstrated his divining rods . This is something my father did when I was a child while searching for water. Mark was extremely knowledgeable about all of the towns we visited and had excellent tips about where to eat and where to purchase other items we were looking for. We had a small group so we really got to know one another. We never felt rushed and always had the time we needed in each location to visit. My wife and I highly recommend Mark and gocotswolds tour company. We entertained renting a car and doing the tour on our own. That would have been a HUGE mistake. Gocotswolds really has an efficient, safe, and thorough system to get you to many places in a day that you could never do on your own. We will recommend their services to anyone we know of that is visiting Great Britain!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a third review for us — we truly appreciate it! We’re delighted to hear that the Secret Cotswolds tour was a highlight of your trip and that you had such a fantastic day with Mark. The Rollright Stones are certainly a special stop, and we love that Mark’s divining rod demonstration brought back childhood memories for you as well. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the smaller group atmosphere, the relaxed pace of the day, and all of Mark’s local knowledge and recommendations along the way. We’re especially grateful for your comments about travelling with us versus driving yourselves. Exploring the Cotswolds can be challenging without local knowledge, so it means a lot to hear that you felt the tour allowed you to experience places you otherwise wouldn’t have found. Thank you again for your incredibly kind words and for recommending both Mark and Go Cotswolds so highly. It was a pleasure having you tour with us, and we hope to welcome you back again one day!
