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.
Bibury
Next, we visit Bibury – often called the 'Prettiest village in the Cotswolds', a title given by designer William Morris. 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.

4.00The tour was great, Rowen our tour guide was excellent. Only issue was the lunch was at a different location and took the entire time we were at one of our stops so we did not get to spend much time in the town.
Ava and Joann Rule!

5.00Robin gave us such an incredible day in the Cotswolds. She gave us a lot of history of the area and added so many interesting stories that made this excursion very unique. She was very nice and had a great cheerful personality. The Cotswolds were definitely worth seeing. We also opted for the lunch that was better than I expected. It was all in all a great day. Would highly recommend.
