Bibury
Our first stop is Bibury, where we will visit the famous cottages on Arlington Row, walk around the marsh looking out for birds and shop for gifts and souvenirs whilst trying to spot some of the incredible, bright blue trout at Bibury Trout Farm.
Bourton-on-the-Water
Our second stop is Bourton on the Water, also known as 'Venice of the Cotswolds', thanks to the stone bridges that cross the River Windrush as it flows through the centre of the village. Here you will have time to browse the boutique shops nestled amongst the quaint streets on both sides of the river, or indulge in a cup of tea and a scone.

Marvelous day with Nathan as our guide. Nathan was knowledgeable about the entire region and shared personal stories of growing up in the Cotswolds. We visited four lovely villages, had a terrific lunch at a recommended chippy and had time to browse/shop if we wanted. This tour was tailored to our needs. A terrific way to get a taste of the Cotswolds. Definitely would recommend booking with Nathan!

We had a perfect day in the Cotswolds with Nate. My husband and I were weary of dragging our two teenage boys to the Cotswolds, but thanks to Nate, it was one of their top 3 experiences in our two weeks in England. He connected us to the beautiful land and people with his authenticity and stories, and despite the crowds, created a most memorable itinerary. The experience would not have been the same without him. Thank you Nate!!!

We had such a fun and fabulous day out with Nathan. The country-side was chocolate-box perfect, and Nathan was an entertaining and informative guide as we made our way from village to village. 10/10.
