Experience the 'secret' side of the Cotswolds with a local guide in a small and friendly group size of up to 16 people.
On our Secret Cotswolds tour, we'll explore picture-postcard Cotswold towns and villages. As well as better-known Broadway and Burford, you'll also escape the crowds to some stunning locations, including an ancient stone circle and villages full of traditional Cotswold charm.
If you select pick up from our Stratford-upon-Avon location, please meet at the Shakespeare's Birthplace Coach Terminal at 08.50 for 09.00 departure. If you're travelling by train from Birmingham, then Stratford-upon-Avon train station is just a 5-10 minute walk from our pick up spot.
We then travel to Moreton-in-Marsh rail station to collect our final passengers. If you select pick up from Moreton-in-Marsh, please arrive at 09.30. There are direct trains to Moreton-in-Marsh from London, Reading, Oxford or Worcester.

I went on both the Secret Cotswolds and the Cotswolds in a Day tours and I couldn't have had a better experience.
The Cotswolds in a Day takes you to the quintessential, must see, charming places, and the Secret Cotswolds gives you the opportunity to see the hidden gems, little villages and towns, off the beaten path.
If you have a couple of days, I 100% recommend both.
Mark was a wonderful guide, very kind and knowledgeable.
Each stop was timed perfectly, giving us plenty of time to explore the towns.
Flawless communication, organisation, service and attention to details.
I would give 10 stars if I could.

I was born in Stratford on Avon and grew up in the Cotswolds. But I left the area many years ago and decided that I would leave the driving to Tom when I brought my granddaughter to show her where I spent my first 22 years.
We were staying with a long time friend in Banbury and I was glad I was able to find the pickup point! Some places were still very familiar to me but it was still very exciting to see that many places hadn’t changed.
If I had the opportunity to tour with Tom again, I would. He is a very knowledgeable individual and a good driver. Definitely one of the best parts of my trip. (As my granddaughter was 18, Harry Potter did become her favorite part).

Amazing tour! We took the Cotswolds in Day tour on the first day and the Secret Cotswolds tour on the second day. We took a train from London to Moreton-in-Marsh for the first day, spent the night in Stratford-upon-Avon and left for the second tour from there. If you have two days to see the Cotswolds, I highly recommend that itinerary. If you go in Spring/Summer, you'll get quite a few hours of sunlight after you arrive in Stratford, so you'll have time to explore another beautiful town. That's a great way of making the most of your time in the region. About the tour, everything was great. I had already seen the main Cotswolds villages and towns the day before, so I knew what to expect, but I was still in awe with the beauty of the place. Guiting Power was the highlight for me. Make sure to try the famous sausage roll there. Martin was our guide, and what a nice guy! Very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, from his kind reminders of when to go for a safety wee, knowing we wouldn't get a bathroom break for a while, to an extra stop at 14th century Hailes Church. Just overall amazing and a great value for money.

Today we did a tour with our guide around the Cotswolds visiting villages that are a bit quieter and different. Martin, our guide, went over and above to make our day interesting and informative. We were taken to places that had great food as well as photo opportunities. We could not fault this tour and highly recommend Go Cotswolds tour company. They are great communicators and plan the best day for their customers.

It was an interesting tour on a warm and pleasant day. We were lucky to have Colin as our guide showing us the secrets of the Cotswolds.

Colin was our guide. He was fabulous and had so much enthusiasm to share all of the special details about the place. One could easily see his special connection to the hills and villages. I appreciated how Colin spoke loudly and clearly into the microphone. He made the effort to get to know us and our names. He engaged us by addressing us and asked us questions as well. By the end of the day, we were not really strangers, but people who appreciated each other's company and appreciated the beautiful landscapes and villages.

Visited last week with my elderly Mum. We had previously done the Cotswolds in a Day tour, so were excited by this new option. Really enjoyed the tiny villages and would love to see more tours like this and/or more similar stops on this tour. Service from Go Cotswolds was exemplary as usual. Dave was a knowledgable, passionate and attentive guide. Thoroughly recommended. 101 out of 10. ;)

This is the second tour that I’ve taken with Go Cotswolds. The first one was a day in the Cotswolds and now this is the secret Cotswolds. My guide for the secrets tour was Mark. He was terrific knew the Cotswolds really well and made the entire trip enjoyable, pointing out highlights of the scenery, which is gorgeous, the history of the Cotswolds and made sure that in each town we stopped in that we knew where the best places were to go.
The amazing thing about the Cotswolds is that each town is different, but still has its own charms so it is important to see a variety of these towns Go Cotswolds provided me with that experience and I enjoyed it immensely.
Best of all most of the drive is on gorgeous backroads so you can see more of the countryside than from highways.
Go Cotswolds also provides each traveler with a pamphlet that has each place there. We stop with information about it in a map showing the highlights. It is very informative and helpful.
