What To Expect
Bibury
Our first stop is Bibury, “The Prettiest Village in the World.” Here we will visit the iconic, world famous weavers cottages of Arlington Row, walk around the marsh looking out for local animals and shop for souvenirs. We’ll also have fun 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 and enjoy a tasty lunch in a historic Cotswold inn. (Please note, the cost of your lunch is not included in the tour price, and lunch itself is completely optional. Please confirm at the point of booking if you would like to include this option)

Phenomenal Day with the Perfect Tour Guide!
Eileen T,May 31, 2026

5.00Absolutely wonderful tour with Nate! He was charming, kind, professional, and full of knowledge about the towns we saw and British history in general. I was with my mom and two of her friends, and Nate kept us all engaged while allowing us time to explore, do a bit of shopping, and enjoy some food. He kept us laughing with his stories of growing up in the area, and took lots of pictures for us to remember the day as well. It was absolutely exceptional from start to finish - if you want to see the Cotswolds this tour is the one to do!
Great guide and terrific experience

5.00Nate was such an incredible tour guide! He made our trip to the Cotswolds so incredibly special! He is so unbelievably knowledgeable and professional. My friend and I were traveling for her birthday on a “girls trip” and this tour was one of the highlights of our vacation. You can’t go wrong in booking this tour! We are already planning to go back and book another tour with Nate!

5.00This tour with Nathan Greene was one of the best tours I’ve ever had on a vacation. I learned so much about the area and thoroughly enjoyed this young man’s personality, kindness and attention to every detail. I felt totally at home on this tour and was touched by Nathan’s warmth and enthusiasm. Highly recommend and request him for certain.

5.00Nathan was an incredible tour guide! We had some issues with the train from London, and he was patient and very accommodating throughout. The tour was truly a highlight of our trip to the UK. We were able to see all the sites I had read about, with the added bonus of learning more details and history from Nathan along the way. Thank you, Nathan, for a wonderful day!
The BEST Cotswold tour!

5.00I took my 23 year old daughter and two friends to the Cotswolds with Nathan as our guide. It was an exceptional experience. Obviously the area is beautiful but what made it stand out was how many people Nathan knew in each area. Truly making this a more memorable experience. He was very flexible and made sure we had time to shop as well as enjoy each area that we explored. Look no further, Nathan is the best!
Highlight of our trip

5.00Nathan's tour through the Cotswolds was the highlight of our trip to England! A gentleman who exudes pride from his upbringing in the Cotswolds gives a full day tour that makes anyone want to stay! He is full of knowledge and insider tips, and is very easy to get along with and spark up conversation all day. Most of all, he was so accommodating with our family of 3, including our 3 year old toddler and making sure our day was enjoyable! Cannot recommend enough for you to spend your day with Nathan in the Cotswolds!!

5.00The Cotswolds charmed us, and Nathan was most knowledgeable on the topic since he has lived there almost all his life! He gave us a wealth of information and was the kindest person meeting all our needs! He showed us the best spots while taking into account we had to cut our trip short a little bit to get back on the train, very efficient yet extremely hospitable and lively.
December day in Cotswolds

5.00Nathan was terrific! He gives a detailed, yet fun tour of 4 or 5 villages in the Cotswolds. He is happy to take pictures and answer questions. We would definitely recommend.
