The Cotswolds tour from Bath

Awesome tour & Kevin was an amazing guide! I typically shy away from structured tours when traveling but so glad I joined this one! I was traveling solo on this tour but thankfully had an amazing group on board the van. We stayed just ahead of the buses with herds of tourists so had time at Cotswolds all to ourselves. Kevin was hilarious (this really helped open the group up to share, crack jokes, etc), a great driver, and kept us informed throughout the drive & tour. He shared pics from movies/shows along the way which brought those locations to life even more. 10/10 recommend this tour & Kevin as the guide!

Bill was a great tour guide. Very informative and friendly.
We really enjoyed our trip

From the moment we started planning our trip to the UK, we said: we have to visit the Cotswolds. That’s how we found Mad Max, who offered a tour covering the villages we wanted to see—and it truly exceeded our expectations.

Bill picked us up in Bath and took us around those magnificent villages that, otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to visit—or it would have taken us much longer than just one day. Everything was fantastic.

And Bill really made the difference. Even though there was a language barrier—he spoke English and we spoke Spanish—he made himself perfectly understood and also understood us.

I highly recommend Mad Max, and I strongly recommend Bill.

We would like to give special recognition to Bill, who brought great energy and passion to the trip, sharing all the details about the villages and the history of England. We also ended the journey with some great music in the van.

I really enjoyed the Cotswolds tour with the guide Andy! He was very informative and fun. The itinerary was great and the mini bus was very comfortable. The Cotswolds area is beautiful and we had enough time to explore everything. I was staying in Bristol but it was easy to take a train to Bath to take the tour with Mad Max company. I'm Czech and I had a great day as a solo traveller.

We had a fabulous day exploring Cotswolds villages with Kevin. He’s an excellent driver, shares history and knowledge of the local area, has a great personality and really looks after you. The Mercedes van is comfy and has good windows for enjoying the countryside. We went to Castlecomb, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on the Water and Bibury. Each village has its own charm and personality. Castlecomb & Bibury are smaller and quieter, esp Castlecomb. Stow on the Wold (which we learned means hill/high ground) and Bourton on the Water are pleasantly busier with lots of shops, tea rooms, inns, etc. The churches are all beautiful and have interesting old cemeteries and history. If you’re considering going in March - lots of daffodils, some cherry trees blooming, some Tulip trees, forsythia - Spring is just beginning. It’s not crowded. It’s cool and at times drizzly. Wear a puffer and long pants for sure but it wasn’t uncomfortable. And the overcast kind of gave the area an old, charming, cozy feel. Someday, when we make our way back, we’ll tour with Kevin again. We didn’t return to Bath at the end of the tour as we had reservations to stay in the Cotswolds for a couple of nights. Kevin was helpful in advising us how to make that work to get to our next village on our own when we parted ways. Was a great day out for mother/ daughter. Would be great for friends or couples also.

Excellent Cotswolds tour from Bath today. Very well organised and paced, with enough time to explore without feeling rushed.
Gerry was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. Highly recommended.

Had an amazing tour to Cotswolds with Gerry. Managed to visit all the best villages in Cotswolds in a day, something unimaginable without a car.

If you are considering touring the Cotswolds- do it!! We loved our tour! 100% recommend going on the tour instead of just doing the trip on your own. Kevin was our guide and he provided so much valuable information and entertainment. He kept things interesting with his humor. We ate at the Hive for lunch at the Stowe-in-the-Wold stop and it was delicious, thr restaurant of course came recommended by Kevin.

The only thing I think could have made it a bit better was I wish we could have spent a bit more time in Castle Combe on the first stop, since it was just so gorgeous and there was a lot to see. Overall, it was a wonderful trip and we enjoyed every minute of it!

Wundervolle Tour, unser Fahrer Andy war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und hat uns sehr gute Informationen gegeben. Er war witzig und es war eine schöne familiäre Tour. Wunderschöne Dörfer, unbedingt zu empfehlen.

Gerry, our tour guide, was top notch. Kept us informed throughout our day. The tour van had 15 out of 16 spaces filled and was a mix of Canadian and American travellers. The ride was air conditioned and comfortable and the van was locked at each stop so items left were secure.

Prior to each stop Gerry let us know what there was to do, where to nosh and what time to be back at the van. Each stop was very picturesque and full of history. Would highly recommend Mad max tours to anyone wanting to see a bit of the Cotswolds. Starts and ends in Bath.

What an Amazing tour, 9 hours in total. Saw so many pretty Cotswolds villages and so much more. Tim our driver and guide was so cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable and helped make our experience so enjoyable. Best tour ever😁.

We booked this tour to the Cotswolds as part of our visit to Bath. It was tremendous. Gave us a feeling of the Cotswold villages in a day without the need to drive. Very special thanks to Kevin who provided great narration and a wonderful driving experience even with the road closures.

5…Hands-Down! Andy was a gracious, friendly, and informative Guide & Driver. The planned itinerary had historical variety as well as just enough short and longer stops (for food & toilet needs) to be incredibly comfortable. We found the tour FUN and stimulating. Highly recommended.

This is a very well planned and structured tour. Our driver Gerry was fantastic, he was informative without being boring and was friendly. We really enjoyed the day, 100% recommendable. Big thank you from Angele and Mary

Truly a great tour from Bath to the Cotswolds. Tour crew was awesome, well-planned itinerary and right amount of time spent at each stop. Would absolutely choose Mad Max tours again

I would highly recommend the Cotswolds tour from Bath! It was so much easier than trying to plan the travel on my own, and the van was very comfortable. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly. You got to see a few different towns and were back to Bath with plenty of time to do something in the evening.

Wonderful trip through the Cotswolds.
Guide was informative and very pleasant.

We had a fantastic day with Andy. He was a great driver and gave us a lot of information about the region and villages.

Our tour was well run seeing so many beautiful spots while learning about all the different little towns.

While we covered a lot during the day we never felt rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy each of the villages.

We would recommend this small group tour for exploring the Cotswolds in a relaxed and efficient way

Chris and Jason were excellent guides to our amazing tour of the Cotswolds. They provided lots of information, gave recommendations of places to enjoy, and directions to all the reverent attractions in each village. Highly recommend this tour!

It was a great trip seeing these four beautiful villages all in one day. Dave was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the towns and the role they played in that history.
