Escape London's crowds for a day trip to the picture-perfect Cotswolds for lunch. You'll visit a region that is forever England, seemingly unchanged by the modern world and famous for its beautiful villages and rolling hills. There will be time to visit quaint villages such as Burford before enjoying a fabulous two-course lunch in a traditional English hotel restaurant.

What To Expect

Burford

Our full-day tour begins in the charming town of Burford, often called the ‘gateway to the Cotswolds’. Its beautiful high street is lined with buildings made from every shade of Cotswold stone. You'll have time to explore the local tea rooms, browse unique shops, and soak up the historic atmosphere.

Set along the clear waters of the River Coln, Bibury is full of postcard-perfect charm. We’ll enjoy a short walking tour through the village before arriving at the Swan Hotel, a lovely place to relax and take in the view.

    Great introduction to the Cotswolds. Lovely lunch at an historic pub included. Our guide, Nicholas, was informative and entertaining. The driver, Neal, was excellent too. I definitely recommend this relaxing day trip!

    Our guide, Peter, was absolutely great. Extremely knowledgeable and energetic. He was very smart and had lots of personality. The tour company ran this very well - no surprises and we received all that was promised. For us personally, the tour itself felt like a wasted day, however. Lots of time on the bus, very little time to see the villages. But that is not the fault of this tour. It's just the reality of geography and logistics. I would recommend doing this type of day trip if you have loads of time in England, want to get out of the city, and don't mind spending an entire day to see relatively few things.

    Our guide was funny informative and very helpful with suggestions of things to do during our stay in London. We had a change of towns due to construction but it was ok. Our driver was amazing.

  • Skip the lunch on 3 stop Cotswold tour -not enough time

    Our guide Frank was delightful! The villages were lovely. Unfortunately, this tour might work better with 2 excursions; which would allow more time for people to appreciate and enjoy the locations. Lunch was delicious (we had the meat pie); however, it does cut into your time to explore the village. I would skip the meal and grab a sandwich whilst exploring. Downton Abbey fans will enjoy this tour!
