What To Expect
Burford
The day begins by departing London and travelling towards the quintessentially English countryside of The Cotswolds; an area that is famous for its beautiful landscape, charming villages and honey-coloured stone cottages. Our first stop will be the traditional town of Burford; known as the ‘Gateway to the Cotswolds’. This is a historic place where many houses date back nearly 600 years and little has changed for centuries. During the visit there will be time to explore Burford, visit the magnificent church and stroll along the high street to visit a mix of independent family-run shops.
Bibury
The village of Bibury is often described as the 'prettiest village in England'. It's charming scene is a snapshot of traditional English country life. Wander along the gentle river and see the iconic Arlington Row; a set of weavers cottages that are now one of the symbols of the Cotswolds.

5.00Tour organizers onsite were abrupt and rude. But once Kevin got us in his van it was a great trip. He had good knowledge and has a good instinct for what people want to see/hear.

5.00It’s a full day tour, in a very comfortable bus. The towns are all very quaint and wonderful to walk around in. Shops are beautiful, the cafe’s and food establishments are wonderful. The weather was cold and drizzly but that did not take away from the beautiful sights. And to top off this lovely experience was that our tour guide, Len was absolutely the best. Amazing driver, we felt safe throughout the long drive on many winding roads. His stories and explanations were truly delightful. He spoke clearly and slowly so all was understood! Thank you so much Len for making our tour today simply perfect!
Wonderful Day Trip to the Cotswolds!

5.00This small group tour to the Cotswolds was one of the highlights of our stay in London! The tour begins and ends in a very convenient location in Kensington where you can get a morning coffee and also use their facilities before hopping on their clean and comfortable van/ mini bus.It is about 2 hours to the first of 4 towns that you will visit in the Cotswolds. But it will go by quickly as this tour is very professional and the driver/tour guide is knowledgeable and entertaining. You get off in each town and can spend time on your own or with a friend from the tour visiting the town at your own pace. At lunchtime you can go the restaurant of your choice in town. The area is picturesque and unlike anything you’ve seen and well worth the visit. We were fortunate to have Liam as our tour guide. Liam was the best! He was the best guide, history teacher, entertainer, DJ(great song choices) and Captain! Thanks Liam!
Such a lovely tour
