Itinerary

  • Moreton-in-Marsh

    Passengers joining the tour at Stratford-upon-Avon will be collected from Shakespeare's Birthplace Coach Terminal at 08.50-09.00am. Then, we travel to the Cotswold town of Moreton-in-Marsh, where we collect our final passengers from Moreton-in-Marsh rail station at 09.30am. From Moreton-in-Marsh, it's a 15 minute drive to our first official stop. We'll provide an introduction to the tour en route.

    10 minutes

  • Rollright Stones

    Discover the secrets of The Rollright Stones, the Cotswolds’ very own ancient stone circle – a ‘mini Stonehenge’! This is a fascinating place to start our tour, learn some Olde English myths and legends, and drink in panoramic views across the Cotswolds countryside. Admission to The Rollright Stones is a donation of £2 per person, but we make this donation for you by arrangement with The Rollright Trust.

    45 minutes

  • Cotswolds

    En route to our next stop, enjoy a scenic drive (approx 40 minutes) through the picturesque countryside made famous by the TV show ‘Clarkson’s Farm’* and discover tiny Cotswold villages far off the beaten track. (*Please note that while this tour passes through farmland owned by Jeremy Clarkson, we do not pass or stop at Diddly Squat Farm Shop. Queues for the farm shop can be hours long, and there just isn’t time to visit on a one-day tour!)

    40 minutes

  • Burford

    This vibrant, authentic Cotswold market town is a wonderful place to learn about the history of the area, photograph classic Cotswold cottages, and seek out delicious homemade cake.

    1 hour

  • Guiting Power

    Shhh… don’t tell anyone, otherwise this will become the next tourist trap! Gorgeous, remote and unspoilt, Guiting Power provides a slice of genuine Cotswolds countryside life. Have a pint in the local pub, or try one of David Beckham's favourite sausage rolls!

    30 minutes

  • Broadway

    Perhaps not-so-secret, but the ‘Jewel in the Cotswolds Crown’ is not to be missed! There are art galleries to browse, independent retailers to support, and gorgeous traditional cottages to admire.

    1 hour 10 minutes

  • Stanton

    Fall in love with the quiet, charming village of Stanton, which is regularly voted as one of the most beautiful and unspoilt villages in the Cotswolds.

    30 minutes

  • Moreton-in-Marsh

    Leaving Guiting Power behind, now it's 5pm and time to say farewell to some of our passengers at Moreton-in-Marsh station. We hope you made friends and good memories! You don't have to end your tour where you started - if you joined us in Stratford-upon-Avon, why not spend a night or two in the pretty Cotswolds market town of Moreton-in-Marsh? We have plenty of space for your luggage, and Moreton has several accommodation options, as well as a rail station for your onward travel.

Highly recommend

Published on Feb, 2025

Guide (Colin) was a local with a real love of the area, lots of information, nice sense of humor. Relaxed while efficient, helpful to people with special needs. Colin was terrific.

Don’t miss it

Published on Nov, 2024

Secret Cotswolds was great, so many villages to see and pass through. Loved the time exploring the areas, our guide Steve was so full of knowledge on the area, it was a great day, thoroughly enjoyed.

Best way to see the smaller villages of the Cotswolds

Published on Oct, 2024

What a wonderful, if rainy, day we had on the Secret Cotswold tour. Our guide, Mark, was fun and informative and took us to villages we would never have gone to ourselves. We definitely recommend you take this tour.

Touring the Cotswold areas

Published on Oct, 2024

The views were amazing and we got so many great photos! But our tour guide, Mark, had so many wonderful stories and notes to share with us during our trip that the time went by too fast! We didn’t want to rent a car so this was a great way to get into the county for some sight seeing, and now that we’ve done the tour, I am so glad we didn’t rent a car! This was much better! (Small group, expert driving/directions, helpful tips, our guide knew the best spots!) I would highly recommend this tour company and wish we had book a tour to bath with them as well. Would highly recommend them! *they are also great at working with you if you’re using this tour as a way to get from one location to another.

Simply Fantastic Tour - exceptional assistance for customer using walker

Published on Sep, 2024

Once again we must commend this company and it's guides (Martin) for putting on an exceptional guided tour through the Secret Cotswolds. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I must offer special thanks for the help and assistance offered by Martin with regards to my walker and making sure that it was available to me anytime I was getting off of the bus. Without his courtesy and assistance, I doubt that I would have been able to participate in the trip! So a big thank you for making this trip as successful as possible.
