We had a wonderful relaxed day with Irina as our driver & guide. Saw beautiful villages (Malmesbury, Duntisbourne Abbots, Tetbury, Sapperton & Castle Coombe); lovely landscapes, atmospheric country lanes and a tiny 700AD Saxon church. We ate blackberries off rambling bushes and an apple off a tree alongside a stream. A nice lunch in a 300 year old pub and afternoon tea and scones in a quaint cafe. Picked up and dropped off to and from our hotel. No crowds, no stress, just a great day. Highly recommend this company.
Jules was a fantastic host and driver on our most favorite day spent in the English Countryside. Don't be put off by price, the memories are worth it!

If you can only take one tour while in Bath and the Cotswolds, this is the one to book. If you cringe at the thought of crowded buses, indifferent guides, and a ‘hurry-up, it’s time to leave, itinerary,’ this is the tour for you. You'll see the Cotswolds in a way that brings the Bath countryside ...
If you can only take one tour while in Bath and the Cotswolds, this is the one to book. If you cringe at the thought of crowded buses, indifferent guides, and a ‘hurry-up, it’s time to leave, itinerary,’ this is the tour for you. You'll see the Cotswolds in a way that brings the Bath countryside to life. Your guide will cover history, culture, and architecture in an entertaining and enlightening way. The comfortable van and small group (no more than 8) make your full day trip an intimate experience. Stops for coffee and lunch are part of your trip through areas you might never see or find on your own. You’re picked up and returned to your hotel door. You are free to watch the lovely countryside roll by on your way and explore on foot in villages, churches, abbeys, and ruins. I can’t recommend Around and About Bath highly enough. Any of their tours will be an experience you’ll never forget. --MaryGoThis was a great day out. We had been touring southern England by car on our own for a week when we took the tour.

This was a great day out. We had been touring southern England by car on our own for a week when we took the tour. We were picked up on time by Irina in a very comfortable van at our B&B in Bath. It was a great break from driving and enjoyable to visit some of the small towns in the Cotswolds. Irina was a delight. She was a skilled driver, navigating narrow roads and tight parking spaces, so we always felt safe. She was very knowledgable about the area in terms of history, and she was very easy-going. We enjoyed our conversation and company as much as the tea, snacks, lunch, history, and scenery. Thanks again!
