We had a brilliant day with Matt - this was definitely the highlight of our trip to Bath. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable and also has a genuine curiosity about people which makes for a terrific tour guide. We thought the tour had a brilliant balance of beautiful sights, historical areas and a bit of time for us to explore by ourselves.

Matt of Galahad Tours hosted the most amazing day driving through the Coswolds and visiting several of the villages. He is brimming with all the history and interesting tidbits that make this day tour very enjoyable. Prior to booking the tour, I was somewhat disappointed about certain villages not being included in the itinerary, but Matt explained that those more well known villages are now very overrun with tourists. Therefore, he took us to several villages that were equally as beautiful and historically significant in some cases. Matt was absolutely a delight to spend the day with, and I can not recommend this tour more highly. It was worth every penny

Fantastic experience! My parents were visiting from the US and I wanted to explore the English countryside without renting a car. We found the Captivating Cotswolds tour with a pickup in Bath which was perfect! Matthias was an amazing guide with so much knowledge about the local history of the area. We stopped in several charming towns and had a pub lunch together. I would highly highly recommend Matthias and Galahad Tours to anyone looking for a private tour around England!

We had a wonderful tour with Matt. He picked us up early at our hotel in Bath and we spent the whole day discovering the Cotswolds. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to the most charming villages, even some that were off the beaten path. The tour also included a great lunch in a local restaurant. The day went by really fast thanks to his great stories of the local history and his obvious passion for the region. He customized the tour to our interests and preferences. He even made recommendations for restaurants in Bath when we came back. I would highly recommend using his services for any tour you are considering in the area. You will not regret it!

Just back from an incredible day with Matthias. If you’re considering whether to book a private tour or go on a larger group tour, I’d encourage you to spend the little bit extra to book the private tour as the level of attention, ability to access some of the smaller villages, and depth of knowledge is unparalleled. We have traveled as a group of friends in many countries and taken lots of tours and this is easily near the top if not the best we’ve had. It was a gorgeous day, Matthias had great recommendations, including the spot he chose for us for lunch. Highly recommend this or any tour he’s offering. Have fun!

He had us home at hotel safe and sound in time for my husband and I to sit down for dinner together and discuss how fabulous the day had been. One to be remembered! We have travelled and toured many places from Cairo to Amsterdam and we rank this day among the very best. If ‘The Cotswolds’ is on your bucket list, we cannot recommend Matthias more. It was perfect.
