My sister and I are planning a trip to the Cotswolds and are looking for a two-day tour. Since neither of us is comfortable driving, we're hoping to find a tour that can pick us up in Bath on Day 1, explore the southern Cotswold villages, and drop us off somewhere central (such as Cirencester) for the night.
On Day 2, we'd love to continue through the northern Cotswolds before finishing in Moreton-in-Marsh so we can easily catch the train back to London.
Does anyone know of a small-group tour with a similar itinerary, or is a private tour our only realistic option? Any recommendations or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I am a bit late on this thread but I do have a suggestion:
I can suggest a 2 -day tour that covers the North and southern Cotswolds. Meeting point is Moreton in Marsh (MIM) train station on both days.
I have done this tour twice now, and am doing this again with some new friends in September. Here is the link
https://www.cotswoldsguidedtours.co.uk/2026-shared-group-cotswolds-tours - its is small group (max 7 people) and very reasonable for a 2-day trip. (300 GBP, 2026 prices).
As for Accommodation, I stay in MIM at the following cottages which are very nicely appointed and within a 5 minute walk to station.

You could always do Bath from London on your own by adding 2 nights there, then train to MIM (Bath to MIM requires one train change)
I am a British ex-pat and this is the way I like to see the Cotswolds, and I also prefer not to drive in the UK.
