Itinerary
Departing at 9am from your hotel in Bath or the surrounding area.
Start off visiting the fairy-tale village of Castle Combe. Undoubtedly the jewel in the crown of the southern Cotswolds.
Continue on to Tetbury. It is the home of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort of the United Kingdom. Tetbury was an important market for Cotswold wool and yarn during the Middle Ages. Today, it is better associated with boutique shops, great food, and its Royal Connections.
We then head up to the central Cotswolds, to the iconic Arlington Row in Bibury. With its crystal clear waters and wonderful old Cotswold cottages.
Our next stop is arguably the most famous Cotswolds town and regularly voted one of the prettiest villages in England; Bourton-on-the-Water. Known as the ‘Venice of the Cotswolds’ there is plenty to see and do with a wealth of attractions, shops, restaurants and tea rooms.
Finishing off at England’s most romantic village - Lower Slaughter. Without a doubt one of the most picturesque villages in the whole of the Cotswolds. We walk along its bubbling brook to an ancient flour mill as the sun gradually goes down. When the sun is low and it catches the honey coloured limestone buildings, it is a sight to behold.
We drive north to our final stop Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds. Here you’ll have time to browse among honey-coloured buildings, cosy pubs, narrow streets, interesting shops and tiny tea rooms.

This was a wonderful day. Ian is very knowledgeable about the area. Each village he took us to was charming and unique. Highly recommend.
This is a great way to see some of the best villages in the Cotswolds with a small group or family. The tour guide allows for flexibility if you prefer to spend more time in a few places. Would do it again.
Wonderful, stress free tour of the Cotswolds. Our tour guide Ian was prompt, friendly, knowledgeable and a good driver too. Very good person to spend the day with.
Our private tour of the Cotswolds, led by Ian was fantastic. Ian was very personable and knowledgeable. It was wonderful to let him do the driving, and take us to perfect spots. This area of England is very charming, and is well worth the trip.
Our day was delightful. We were comfortable with our guide’s driving skills. He was pleasant and knowledgeable, providing context, stories, and information about the towns we visited. He provided a great mix of guiding, but also provided us with time to explore on our own.
What an amazing, beautiful, memorable day! Andy picked us up right on time from our hotel, and was so friendly. He explained and asked us what we wanted in our day and we told him we trusted him, and to take us to the cute cotswolds villages and teach us about the history. That’s what we got! He knew his stuff. He took us to a few less known villages because it was a Saturday, to get away from the crowded, touristy, villages… and those were some of our favorite spots! Couldn’t have asked for a better day!
Such a wonderful way to spend the day! We had a great time and saw so many places. Thanks so much to Ian!
We loved hearing the history of the area! Our driver/guide was very personable and knowledgeable. What a lovely tour!!
We were a group of 8, including 4 children. Ian was a great guide and very patient, letting us explore without feeling rushed. We had a great experience and would highly recommend him!
Ian was a great guide. He gave us a lovely tour of the quaint villages. He was very knowledgeable and talked just enough.
