Hidden Cotswolds & Dark Age England

Outstanding tour of the Cotswolds

"We thoroughly enjoyed our day in the Cotswolds with Nigel. He was so knowledgeable, funny, engaging, and welcoming. He took us to small villages off the beaten path, but filled with interesting historical significance. We visited churches and pubs and walked in quaint villages. We were a small group of 5 strangers and Nigel had us all feeling like friends at the end of the day. We can’t recommend this personalized tour enough! We will definitely hire Around and About Bath again if we are lucky enough to return to the area."

The Cotswolds experience you're looking for

"This is a day of exploring the hidden treasures of the Cotswolds down tiny country lanes and into small villages full of rich historical treasures, which are still so peaceful and unaffected. It's also a tour which gives you time to breathe it all in, by taking a stroll here, and stopping for a cuppa there. We were looked after by the wonderful Jules who has both the personal knowledge and historical depth to give us a wonderful overview of both times past and the here and now. Book it; you won't regret it."

Wonderful and Informative Tour of the Cotswolds!

"My husband and I did a private tour with Max and it was excellent. We learned a lot about the history of the area and were able to see beautiful parts of the Cotswolds while avoiding the tourist traps. I highly recommend it!"

Pure Pleasure!

"Jules is a personable guide and a gifted teacher. He engaged us in his big picture understudy of early English history by drawing our attention to geography, architecture, and story. His passion sparked our interest and we thoroughly enjoyed our day chatting as we rode in his van. He’s an excellent driver on his home turf of the Cotswolds. Added perks were two English countryside walks when he gave us instructions as to how to find him on the other side of the pasture or river or town. Multi sensory and fun!"
