The Best of the Best
"My husband and I had an amazing time with Nigel on a full-day outing, truly discovering some hidden gems of the Cotswolds. This day was part of a 10 day holiday in England -- one in which we had an incredible time overall and saw some beautiful sights. However, I can honestly say that this tour by In & Beyond Bath stood out as the highlight of our trip."

Highlight of our Holiday
"We booked the Stonehenge and Secret Somerset full day experience on May 25th. Our amazing tour guide Dan picked us up at the front door of our B&B in Bath and asked us a few questions to find out what we were hoping to see and we set off. I was surprised that my husband & I were the only 2 guests booked for the tour, along with Sara, who had just joined the company and came along too. It was like our own private tour for the day."

Excellent!
"Our four member family toured the Cotswolds with a fun, knowledgeable and very energetic guide, Michael. We lunched in Lacock at a wonderful gastropub recommended by our guide and were very pleased with the food and service. We highly recommend this service."
