Tour Options in Bath and Cotswolds

Based in Oxford, Cotswold Roaming is a stylish outfit offering tours of the Cotswolds (Tuesday and Saturday) and excursions to Bath and Castle Combe (Wednesday and Saturday) in small vehicles. The full-day tour of the Cotswolds takes in Bourton-on-the-Water, Upper Slaughter and Lower Slaughter, Chipping Campden, Sudeley Castle, and Stow-on-the-Wold. Half-day tours are also offered. The pickup point is next to the Playhouse Theatre in Beaumont Street, Oxford.

Between mid-June and mid-September, Gloucester Civic Trust organizes tours of the city (Monday to Saturday at 11 from the tourist office) and docks (weekends at 11 from near the National Waterways Museum), or by appointment at other times. City Sightseeing runs 45-minute guided tours of Bath year-round and half-day tours from Stratford-upon-Avon into the Cotswolds from Easter through September.
