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.

2.00This tour was very disappointing. The guide made very little effort to tour us and the stope we made involved A LOT of shopping. Saw almost nothing in the beautiful Costwolds. Extremely expensive for what it was. I’ve been on so many tours on this trip to Ireland/London and this was a huge letdown as all of the others were excellent. Our guide was snarky, bored and truly hates his job. We did not get anything more than a bus ride and told when to get back to the bus. Choose another tour company!!!!!
Lovely Cotswold Tour

5.00We had an excellent tour with James, our tour guide, & Joanne, our coach driver. James was very informative & he has a great sense of humor. Joanne was a great side kick & can out maneuver any other coach driver. The 3 villages we went to were beautiful & even though it’s a long tour, it’s nice to get out of London to see some awesome countryside. I would highly recommend this tour!
Great little day trip.
