Beautiful locations in the south area of the Cotswolds

We had a wonderful day trip out with Ralph as our guide. Ralph is very knowledgeable about the area and its history. He showed us such lovely spots, and gave us lots of time to look around. We also saw an especially amazing stately home that was absolutely stunning - And the artwork was mind blowing. And he is a top-notch driver who made us feel safe and secure on our journey and some very narrow roads as we toured the gorgeous Cotswold area. This was such a perfect tour for us. My mother is 83 and I didn’t want to even attempt to drive us so I recommend this 100%!!

Heading into the dark ages!

We had a wonderful trip to the hidden Cotswolds with Ralph as our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area; very accommodating, picking us up at our location. He also contacted me the day before our trip to discuss details and give us an idea what we would be doing for the day. I won’t divulge the locations we visited because it’s a secret and you’ll be very happy to see such lovely spots! Ralph gave us plenty of time to look around. He gave us the background details about the area which was fascinating for history buffs. We also saw an especially stately home, which was absolutely stunning. And the artwork was mind blowing! This is really a perfect trip when you don’t have a lot of time or don’t wanna hassle with rental cars and driving but letting someone else show you around. I certainly did not want to attempt to drive around myself as an US driver! Ralph is an excellent and safe driver who inspired confidence and made us feel safe and secure. It was just an important concern for us after our hair raising taxi journey the previous day. Lol I’m so glad we did this journey with Ralph as our guide. I recommend this trip 100%.

Fabulous Trip!

Our family enjoyed a beautiful tour around the Cotswolds. Jules took us to some truly hidden gems, including a delightful British Pub for lunch. His knowledge and passion for his home made our trip one of the most memorable experiences in the UK. We would highly recommend Around and About Bath.

Relaxing day in the Cotswolds

Wonderful day touring the Cotswold. Jules was informative with the history and we learned a lot about the Cotswolds and King Aethelstan. Amazing day and would highly recommend.
