"We love our bangers and mash" - and they love Go Cotswolds too! 😊

In a random twist of fate, the lovely Collins family who joined our Bath and Southern Cotswolds yesterday, was the same family interviewed in the ITV News piece that also featured Go Cotswolds on Wednesday (see a couple of posts below)!

So great to meet you, and we hope you enjoyed your 30 seconds of fame! 😁

This isn’t a movie set. It’s just a Tuesday in the Cotswolds.
Tucked away from the tourist trails, this dreamy little lane is one of the many hidden gems you'll stumble across on our Secret Cotswolds tour. There are no big crowds here—just birdsong, thatched cottages, vintage lamp posts, and the kind of charm that makes you question if you accidentally wandered into a fairy tale. (Spoiler: you did.)

Join us for a day of secret spots, storybook strolls, and all the “wait, is this even real?!” moments. And don't tell everyone because it's our secret!
Where's your favourite 'secret' Cotswolds spot?

This might be our favourite review ever!
You can read the full review below and we are adding 'an experience wrapped in tweed and tied with a scone' to all of our business cards!
Book your place now to see what all the fuss is about! 😉

"If Jane Austen, David Attenborough, and your favorite history teacher planned a road trip together, it might come close to this absolute gem of a minibus tour through the Cotswolds. From honey-colored villages to rolling green hills that look suspiciously like they were plucked from a storybook, this tour wasn’t just a day out—it was an experience wrapped in tweed and tied with a scone.

The real star of the show? Our guide Steve part historian, part storyteller, part human GPS, and 100% delightful. With a voice like warm tea and anecdotes that danced between witty and profound, they brought each village to life as if the cobblestones themselves had something to say. Thoughtful doesn’t even begin to cover it—Steve remembered everyone’s name, adjusted the pace to suit the group, and somehow managed to time our arrival at each stop just as the sun peeked out.

We wandered through The Cotswold (yes, it is as postcard-perfect as you’ve heard), tasted local delicacies that I’m still dreaming about, and even spotted a few sheep who seemed to approve of our adventure. And the minibus? Comfy, spacious, and blessedly air-conditioned—ideal for taking in the countryside without having to wrestle with maps or oncoming traffic."

Thank you to everyone who leaves us reviews - we love them all!

Big dramatic skies, even bigger smiles… and not one person got lost in a sheep field. ✅
What a top day out with this fabulous bunch on our Go Cotswolds tour!

We climbed hills, chased views, dodged a few raindrops and maybe one or two cream teas too many… (just kidding, there’s no such thing 🍰).

💚 Small group tours
🚌 Comfy minibus
🤣 Bad jokes from the guide included (joke - their jokes are excellent!)

Don’t make this classic Cotswolds mistake…
Just ticking off the tourist hotspots? You’re missing the real magic.

It’s summer, the school holidays are in full swing — and the big-name villages will get seriously busy with very limited parking and queues for everything.

But there’s another side to the Cotswolds… peaceful, authentic, and crowd-free.

Join our Secret Cotswolds tour and discover hidden gems, quiet lanes, and charming villages the guidebooks don’t shout about.
See more, stress less — and experience the Cotswolds like a local.
