What your day looks like
Our approach to touring is different and completely transformative; We eschew traditional touring which is rushed, impersonal and only focusses on tourist-heavy sites for one rooted in discovery, meaning & connection. Our 'Hidden Cotswolds' Signature Tour is a tour of the Cotswolds unlike any other - it shares the best of the region, deep insights into culture & history, divine dining & visits to places not on the tourist radar. You'll explore a quiet, ancient town that was once at the heart of England's history for over 1000 years to uncoverr the stories of a great kings, pious saints and the magnificent semi-ruined Abbey they rest in. You'll find yourself immersed in the best of English hospitality and cuisine, listening to stories over morning coffee at the oldest hotel in England & lunching at an idyllic country pub. You'll venture down tiny country lanes to find yourself enveloped by stunning countryside and sleepy villages. You’ll stumble upon hidden gems, admire grazing sheep and explore time-frozen settlements alongside a fabulous, friendly, local guide....

This tour is great for small groups looking for a personal touch. As a former history teacher, Jules is very knowledgeable about the history of England and the area and makes it engaging. Jules puts in a great amount of thought and care to the stops on the tour (including the lunch spot) and also allows for the group's preferences for detours to certain sites. Jules passion for the area really shines through. All locations were beautiful.
