Reflecting on 2025: Our Go Cotswolds Year in Numbers!

As the sun sets on 2025 and the New Year approaches, we’re popping the cork on another sparkling year at Go Cotswolds and reflecting on the last year by looking at our Go Cotswolds year in numbers!

It’s been another whirlwind adventure of beautiful villages, rolling hills, and guests from all over the world experiencing the stunning Cotswolds countryside with us. We’ve celebrated 11 years of Go Cotswolds this year, and we’ve come a long way since Tom first took a very small handful around the Cotswolds for the first tour!

This year alongside our popular Cotswolds in a Day tour and our Secret Cotswolds tour we’ve added our Bath and Southern Cotswolds Tour we’ve added TWO new minibuses to the fleet AND we’ve welcomed 3 new amazing driver/guides to the Go Cotswolds team!

Here’s a fun and festive roundup of our achievements and stats that defined 2025 for us:

2025 in a Nutshell: Go Cotswolds’ Year at a Glance in numbers!

Guests Welcomed (as of writing this blog!) 7,800!

Each one of you brought your own story, curiosity and personality to our small-group tours, making every day an exciting adventure. We love the variety of places you all come from and the fun and excitement you brought with you to the Cotswolds.

642 Small Group Tours Completed.

That’s a lot of villages explored, secret spots discovered and beautiful views snapped on phones!

79,600 Miles Driven Around the Cotswolds.

To put it in perspective, that’s like driving around the circumference of the Earth… 3 times! But imagine if each of you have brought your own car – it would have been a lot more and a lot worse for the environment!

24 Marys and 2 Josephs Travelled with Us in 2025!

Christmas came early with this festive connection! Who knew Mary and Josephs were so drawn to the charm of the Cotswolds?!

Solo travellers and families, couples and groups we’ve loved having each and every one of you join us for your Cotswolds adventure!

Giving Back to the Cotswolds

This year, we also made strides in supporting the places and causes we cherish –

We’ve donated over £2,000 to The Rollrights Trust for preservation of the Rollright Stones.
This ancient landmark inspires countless visitors, and we are thrilled to help preserve it for generations to come.

You’ve also generously donated to Caring for the Cotswolds (and we doubled all of your donations in 2025)
Your generosity continues to warm our hearts. Together, we’ve contributed to vital conservation efforts in this beautiful region we all love.

Making Memories, One Stop at a Time

From picture-perfect strolls in Broadway to spotting sheep dotting the hills, our 2025 was full of memories made alongside incredible guests (that’s you!). Thank you for being part of this year’s journey, whether you joined us as a group, family, or solo explorer we are grateful that you chose us.

Next year we have so many more amazing things happening! We are starting our day tours with pick-up from OXFORD in January 2026 including our fabulous Stratford-Upon-Avon Tour. PLUS in partnership with our friends at Brit Movie tours we’re bringing you our fabulous Clarkson’s Farm half day tour!!

We can’t wait to welcome more adventurers in 2026, share hidden gems of the Cotswolds, and maybe hit 10,000 miles driven or greet another pair of Marys and Josephs!! Until then, here’s to a bright New Year filled with even more Cotswold adventures.
