Great Way to Explore the Unknown Treasures of the Cotswolds
“We did a private tour exploring the undiscovered Cotswolds. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and had put together a delightful tour. We loved getting off the beaten path and not doing the standard route. We saw lovely and historic churches and the iconic Cotswolds villages. It was great being on our own timetable.” - 2022, LynnA_Seattle

A memorable experience!
“Admittedly, it's been a while since I've been on this tour (May '19) but the experience stayed with me, so I decided to share. I was doing a (mostly) solo trip across the UK, without car, and was looking for some type of tour to get out of Bath and see a bit of the country side. I am so happy I found In & Beyond Bath. Our guide was a real joy and was able to bring strangers together in such a seamless way. We had a wonderful time hearing about the Cotswolds, going on walks, meeting sheep, exploring wonderful Castle Combe and - of course - having cream tea! On each stop we also had time to roam around by ourselves and time as a group never felt forced! Especially as a solo traveller, this was such a pleasant experience and I wish every city/region had a similar team of wonderful guides! It was such a pleasure to spend what felt like an afternoon with friends, rather than being bussed around as the umpteenth tourist. Next time I make it to Bath, I will make sure In & Beyond Bath is on the schedule again.” - 2022, dodasz53

Perfect afternoon in the Cotswolds
“We were fortunate to share an afternoon with our guide in the Cotswolds. As soon as we got in the van, he surveyed our interests so that we could maximize our time together. Great insight, historical anecdotes and loads of local lore allowed us to get the most out of this picturesque English treasure. This tour may be slightly more expensive than others, but a few extra dollars allows for a personalized experience. So much more memorable than a large group tour!” - 2019, travelingUK2019

Excellent Tour for the Cotswolds
“This tour was special because of Jules!! He is very knowledgeable and helpful in many ways, especially with my mom and her friend!! I really appreciate the attention to detail as well as making it a wonderful experience, and not just another tour! The afternoon tea in Corsham, we loved it! And the town of Castle Combe was exactly what one would picture of a beautiful ole English village! Thanks so much! Jacob” - 2018, Einfach
