Stratford’s Christmas woollen wonderland
If you walk by the canal basin near to Cox’s Yard in Stratford-upon-Avon at the moment you will see some trees that are brightly decorated with wool. But what are they and why are they decorated like that? Well, they’ve been ‘yarn-bombed’ for charity! The project is called ‘The Remembering Tree’ and it’s a fantastic […]
Go Cotswolds: Officially Best Tour Company in the Cotswolds!
As you may have read on our blog back in September, Tom and Go Cotswolds were nominated in a number of categories of the inaugural Cotswolds Awards. We’ve been so excited about the results, which were announced last week, that we almost forgot to blog about it, so here goes: WE WON! We were up against […]
Go Cotswolds day tours – winter schedule!
We have had a great year so far taking over 600 visitors out to the Cotswolds since the start of January. We’ve now also received over 90 excellent reviews on TripAdvisor! We’re very humbled by this and are incredibly grateful to all of you, our Go Cotswolders, for choosing us to be the ones to […]
Purity beers officially the Best in the World!
Huge congratulations to our friends at the fabulous Purity Brewing Company this week – two of their fantastic beers have been honoured with the title of ‘Best in the World’ at the recent World Beer Awards! Pure UBU has been named World’s Best Amber Pale Ale, and – my favourite – Lawless Lager, is the World’s Best […]
Go Cotswolds Tour schedule – update for weekend of Friday 18th to Sunday 20th of September
Just a quick update this one – there will be no tours this coming weekend on either Friday the 18th or Sunday 20th of September 2015. The reason we’re not operating is that we’re taking a break from touring the Cotswolds to celebrate our first wedding anniversary! Following tomorrow’s tour (16th of September) our next scheduled […]
Being tourists in our own town!
It’s frequently said that you rarely appreciate what’s on your own doorstep and as locals to Stratford-upon-Avon, Lisa and I are as guilty as anyone else when it comes to this! This despite working in the tourism industry myself by taking visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon on minibus tours of the Cotswolds. Quite a number of Stratford’s […]
Go Cotswolds in the press!
We were very fortunate to appear on the front cover of Route One magazine recently. Route One is the magazine for the bus and coach industry and, I expect, we’re one of the smallest operator’s they’ve ever featured! Not only were we on the front cover but they dedicated three pages to a feature on […]
Summer tours in the Cotswolds
Wow! I can’t actually believe it’s the middle of August already. We’ve had such a great response to our tours of the Cotswolds so far this summer we’ve barely had the chance to take a step back and take it all in let alone write a blog post about it. Today has been one of […]
Walking too far at lunchtime..
We’ve had an excellent June showing visitors around the Cotswolds – the weather has been beautiful, our guest’s enthusiasm for our part of the world has been great and we’ve received some very generous reviews on TripAdvisor (over 50 excellent reviews on there now – thank you so much!). We stop at seven different places on […]
Shakespeare Half Marathon 2015
We were unable to tour the Cotswolds as we normally would on Sunday 26th April because of road closures in Stratford-upon-Avon due to the Shakespeare Marathon and Half Marathon being in town. But, as they say, if you can’t beat ’em, join em’, so instead of having a day off, Tom and I ended up running in […]
