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.

5.00The 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!

5.00This is a must do tour with the lunch. The Cotswolds are absolutely beautiful. You are literally stepping back in time. We made 3 stops in the area. I suggest you buy the optional lunch as there are very few places to eat. Our guide, Nicolas, was friendly, animated and full of information. This tour was the best part of my short London stay and I would do it again.

5.00Very informative, guide had lots of knowledge and interesting facts. Lovely countryside experience. Loved the little villages. Driver was very diligent. Guide was Rowan and driver was Florian. The only issue was the meeting point location could have been more precise, we nearly missed the bus.

5.00It was a lovely drive through a charming country. We stopped in three villages; each more picture perfect than the last. One special site was Porch Inn, the oldest inn in England.
