Burford
Our next stop is in Burford, the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. It’s a small market town with enormous character and a huge history.

4.00Our tour guide, David, was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was great, no complaints there. Oxford was a beautiful city and 2 hours was perfect to spend time there. Burford was great but maybe 1.5 hours would've been better versus just 1 hour as it took that long to grab something to eat as it was the first stop on the tour. Lastly, a different Cotswold village would've been better instead of Bibury. It was extremely crowded there and didn't give the Cotswolds vibe as Tiktok showed.

5.00This was an absolutely wonderful day and easy from start to finish. Graham was our guide and told us a lot about London before we even got out of the city. We traveled on highways and little country roads and all along the way we learned so much. We knew the Cotswold would be beautiful but having a guide that was so informative and fun and a nice person made the trip fantastic.

5.00We saw a lot of the Cotswold countryside during daylight which was beautiful and visited Oxford last with all the Christmas lights in. Our driver Andrew was great and very entertaining. We was a fantastic host for the day and we enjoyed the tour very much.

5.00Very nice trip with Rabbie tour operator, they were very helpful, very much on time, and very properly managed. Overall it was a great trip, when they drop us in the city of Oxford, 2 hrs is not enough to have food and check around the place.

4.00The trip was nice and the guide was knowledgeable and accommodating. We were more interested in Cotswolds than Oxford, the trip spends more time in Oxford. The bus was a bit too warm, for us. Bibury was a bit of a let-down and being late November, the sun was setting while we were there. Overall the tour was definitely worth the time and price.
Great excursion to the...
