I have lived and worked in the South West of England for 16 years - much of that time as a broadcast journalist. So I know the people, places and culture of this region inside and out. My carefully curated, tried and tested Day Tours from Bath (see profile) allow you to visit the very best that this beautiful and historic region of England has to offer. Tour with me in the comfort of my luxury Mercedes touring vehicle and you will leave with memories that will last a lifetime. We'll explore stunning scenery, historic towns and villages, world famous sites and avoid the tourist places now overrun with coach tours from London. The UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath is the best base from which to explore The Cotswolds, Stonehenge, the hidden secrets of Cheddar Gorge, Glastonbury, and Wells (recently voted the UK's no. 1 visitor destination)… Jump on the direct train from London Paddington to Bath and let's begin the adventure! **All tours start and end in Bath or Bristol **Alternative nearby start/end locations can be discussed at the extra cost of a customised tour **London or Heathrow pickup/drop off is NOT available Choose from: - Private tour to Stonehenge and Avebury Stone Circles from Bath - Private tours to the Cotswolds from Bath - Private tours to Glastonbury, Wells and Cheddar Gorge from Bath - Private tour to Blenheim Palace from Bath - Private tour to Wales from Bath International Certification in Tour Guide Excellence from Aquila's Centre for Excellence; Member of Mayor of Bath's Corps of Honorary Guides; Local authority Operator, Driver and Vehicle Private Hire licences; Fully insured: 'Hire and Reward' and Public Liability'.

We had a wonderful day with Matthias visiting the Cotswolds. He drove us to many charming towns they we would have never found on our own. Our conversation with Matthias was lively and we learned a lot about living in England. Thanks for taking us Ohians to your enchanting towns in the Cotswolds!
Bobbi M.United States
Matthias was excellent and we highly recommend him as a tour guide. He customized a trip for our party of 6 and showed up with bottles of water for all and a brand new Mercedes van. He was extremely knowledgeable about the places we were going and was very warm and friendly. He communicated where and when to meet and sent us a photo,so it was easy to locate him and made us ladies feel very safe.
Heather S.United States
Matt was so fun and knowledgeable, plus his vehicle was spotless and very comfortable. He knew the picturesque parts of the Cotswolds and led us to a fantastic walking path. Highly recommend!
Heather C.United States
I had the opportunity to hire Matt for three days as a birthday gift for my friends. We did the Cotswolds, Stonehenge (with Glastonbury, and a drive through Cheddar Gorge) and Bath. He picked us up from our Bristol hotel each day and delivered us back home at night. We love Matt. He is a professional guide, safe driver, shares hilarious stories, and much intriguing history. I was not planning to hire the same person for 3 consecutive days, but Matt made it too easy for me to do business with him.

It was our first time in England, and we're here for a girl's trip and my mom's dream day. Matthias made our tour the most amazing experience we've ever had. No other tour can or will ever compare. First, he personalized our agenda, cared about our needs, and was the most personable guide ever. Second, we only wished the rest of our family were here and could experience his ability to portray the Cotswolds and Bath as beautifully as he did. Matthias is 100% recommended.
Your Bath tour itinerary
The day begins in Castle Combe, one of the most photographed villages in all of England and often considered one of the very prettiest. We continue through the heart of the Cotswolds to discover the thriving market town of Cirencester, with thriving independent stores, a beautiful medieval church and lanes to explore. Enjoy a traditional lunch in a centuries old traditional pub and explore other secret and timeless Cotswolds villages, still undiscovered by mass tourism. Discover charming Cotswolds gardens at a privately owned and majestic stately home that will take your breath away.
