Our guide Ralph really made the trip an interesting and fun experience. He had extensive knowledge of the Cotswolds and we were welcomed by the local shop and pub owners who knew him personally. Would highly recommend!

Had a tour and it was great! Our guide was local and incredibly knowledgeable, personable and made this our favorite day on our trip to England. He took us places we never would have seen had we been left to our own devices.

We had a lovely time! An amazing drive through the Cotswolds with a wonderfully informative history and incredible views. We loved Simon who was knowledgeable, courteous and fun. He shared his experience as a local bringing it all into perspective for us. We would recommend In and Beyond Bath and Simon to anyone who was looking for an authentic experience driving through this gorgeous area. PS: we were a group of four adults who craved Cotswolds the history lesson.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Hidden Cotswolds & Dark Age England tour with Max with In and Beyond Bath. This was actually the first tour I booked for our two weeks trip to England. We loved it! Max was terrific. He was very informative and fun. Our tour included just three others which make it very private and engaging. I would and have highly recommended this tour and company to anyone visiting the area in and around Bath. You will not be disappointed.

Wow we had a great tour of the Cotswolds with a guide who was most informative, funny, and engaging. We learned the history along with enjoying a delicious coffee and shortbread early, then lunch later on which was out of this world. We walked around , drove, talked and learned about this lovely historical area of the UK. It was an outstanding outing and I would definitely do it again and recommend it heartily.

robert_s

castle comb was the best location but just riding with a knowledgeable and personable driver like roland was a perfect, personal experience that made this very memorable

Rose_M

It was great touring the villages with a guide who knew so much about the history and culture. Our group included six guests and one guide. We were picked up at hotels and delivered back at the end of the day. Loved seeing all the beauty of the area. A favorite moment was having tea and shortbread in an old inn while Jules gave an amazing presentation with visual aids about The Cotswolds. A great way to spend the day and learn more about the area. Our guide was friendly, funny and a great conversationalist. Highly recommend this tour.

Great experience just touching the surface of the Cotswolds. Our guide, Roland, was so knowledgeable. My teenager was entertained the whole time and we both learned so much. Plus, the scenery was gorgeous.
