About this activity

Explore the Cotswolds' most picturesque villages and market towns on a curated 9-hour private tour departing from Bath. With a dedicated driver and flexible itinerary, you'll discover honey-coloured stone cottages, rolling countryside, and authentic market towns at your own pace—ideal for travellers seeking both structure and spontaneity.

The beauty of your private Cotswolds Tour from Bath is the freedom and flexibility that it gives you on the day.  This tour has a set itinerary where we have a recommended route. Here we have combined idyllic villages with the more famous Cotswold towns. This gives you a wonderful overview and experience of what the Cotswolds is all about. As it is a private tour we are totally flexible as to how long you would like in each place. We are also very flexible and are more than happy to modify the itinerary on the day if you would like.

  • ✓Flexible itinerary—adjust time spent in each location based on your interests
  • ✓Handpicked route combining iconic and lesser-known Cotswolds gems

Insider tips

  • ★Request extra time in villages for lunch at local gastropubs or independent shops—they close early (3–4 pm) on quiet days
  • ★Mention photography interests to your driver; they can suggest hidden viewpoints and golden-hour timing
  • ★Ask your driver about seasonal markets or events in the towns you'll visit—some operate only on specific days

Good to know

  • •Comfortable walking shoes essential; villages involve cobbled streets and uneven surfaces
  • •Bring a camera and extra battery; lighting in stone villages and countryside is stunning but changes quickly
  • •Confirm exact pickup time and location in Bath the day before; private tours often collect from your accommodation
  • •The itinerary is suggested but not fixed—discuss route preferences with your driver when you meet
