What To Expect
Burford
The day begins by departing London and travelling towards the quintessentially English countryside of The Cotswolds; an area that is famous for its beautiful landscape, charming villages and honey-coloured stone cottages. Our first stop will be the traditional town of Burford; known as the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. This is a historic place where many houses date back nearly 600 years and little has changed for centuries. During the visit there will be time to explore Burford, visit the magnificent church and stroll along the high street to visit a mix of independent family-run shops.
Bibury
The village of Bibury is often described as the 'prettiest village in England'. It's charming scene is a snapshot of traditional English country life. Wander along the gentle river and see the iconic Arlington Row; a set of weavers cottages that are now one of the symbols of the Cotswolds.

5.00Lem made the tour as a guide very very informative and helpful. The tour was great but obviously with the heat it affected what we could do and for how long for.
Highly recommended

5.00Great day out in the Cotswolds! Our chauffeur Tony was excellent. Full of historical knowledge and anecdotes that made the entire trip even more enjoyable. And the playlist was top notch! Will highly recommend. Also, love the mini bus. Not too many people that I liked.
Highly recommend — sights wonderful and culture better!

5.00Nigel was a phenomenal guide. We very much enjoyed his warmth, humor, and personality. These trips are as much about the voyage as they are about the sights, and it’s hard to imagine a better guide than Nigel. It would be a good trip with a competent driver, but Nigel was more than a competent driver, he was a true guide: you understood that he was taking care of you. I hope he is reading this, and I hope he knows we are very grateful, and hope he keeps going to help many more passengers in the future!
Great day out of the city

5.00Very nice day. long drive from london. personally I would have liked fewer stops and longer times at the stops. i did not get enough of Bourton on the Water because it was a lunch break and pubs take time. Guide was excellent obviously loved his job and was timely. The bus was well appointed and traveled very nicely. I was at first confused about the meeting place but it all made sense when we got there the receiving girl was patient, efficient and kind.
Fantastic Tour

5.00Nigel was a fantastic tour guide! He offered great recommendations for each destination and was very knowledgeable on the history of England and the Cotswolds. We even stopped at the Rollright Stones on our way back to London. This was a great way to see the Cotswolds when short on time!
