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.

This 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!!!!!

We 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!

The guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, and informative. With so many people on the bus tour, he was able to lead us around and keep us together. There were many interesting features, plaques and unique features that he was able to show us, adding to the enjoyment of the tour. One of the best guides we have had with Viator!
