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.

If you choose the ‘Tour only’ option, you’ll have free time to buy food in Burford before we head to Bibury, where food options are limited. You can also upgrade to include lunch on the day, subject to availability.
On rare occasions, the lunch venue and itinerary (including order of visits) may change due to availability or operational reasons.
From 24th September to 12th December, we won’t be able to visit Bibury due to road maintenance, but will visit other Cotswold villages instead, with lunch in Burford.

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.
