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.

5.00Guide:James Driver: Hewick(sorry for my spelling because of unfamiliar name for me) That was so great tour! It must be hard for almost the tourists to visit the Lake District by themselves, so we have chosen this tour and we definitely enjoyed very much! We really appreciate the guide and driver to take us the beautiful villages where we wished to visit one day. The guide explained many things throughout the this tour and the coach was very comfortable enough.
Wonderful tour!

5.00Lovely day trip, leisure time with family and lots of history & origin stories by our guide Nicholas. Honestly the trip is 4stars but Nicholas' knowledge, enthusiasm and hospitality adds the 5th star. One could avoid the lunch and have different food items at the various stops. The food they served was great too.
It’s worth every penny
