Cotswold tours out of Bath

Does anyone know of a good guided tour of the Cotswolds out of Bath. Thanks.

I have never done a tour, so I'm afraid I cannot be of any help in that area...BUT...have you thought of renting a car and just driving around the Cotswolds????? You don't say when you are going or how long you will be in Bath, but it is an easy drive to the Cotswolds, depending on what part of the area you have in mind. On a tour you would just be zooming in, out and through the areas, with no real time to actually take in all the area has to offer! The Cotswolds is one of my all time favorite places to visit! Just a thought!!!!

There are currently no regular coach tours of the Cotswolds out of Bath.

There are a couple of companies which include a short stop in the southern Cotswolds (at Castle Combe) in an otherwise non-Cotswolds tour (to Stonehenge, Lacock, ...)

We did the Mad Max tour out of Bath. It visits Stonehenge, Avebury, Castle Combe and Lacock, all in one day. I believe Castle Combe is technically a Cotswold village, and Lacock is a Nat'l Trust village. It made for a long, but interesting day.

Bath is not a good base for touring the Cotswolds unless you have a car. To visitors, it might look convenient/close enough for tours but the demand just doesn't warrant group things.

What is the rest of your itinerary like? Because you can get a tour of the Cotswolds out of Oxford, or from London -- just not from Bath.

Thanks for all your replies although it wasn't what I wanted to hear. I'll probably look into the Mad Max tour. Thanks again.
