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.

Cotswolds with Nigel

5.00The small group tour was excellent, well organized, and Nigel was an outstanding historian sharing bits or relevant history all along the way… his music playlist for the time on the road was also outstanding. Highly recommend.
Must do tour when in London

5.00Highly recommend this tour. Our guide Nigel was outstanding, his knowledge and insight on the history of the villages we visited was incredible. Bonus points for his driving skills and playlist. I would definitely go back. Thanks again for making our day so special.
Bad attitude from the tour guide

1.00Don't use Viator in Paris. We had great luck in other areas of Europe, but not in Paris. With this tour, evidently the tour guide was not able to be with us at the last minute, and a supervisor had to step in. He had a terrible attitude the entire day and told us several times of the other things at his office that he should be doing, rather than be with us. The entire day was very uncomfortable and we were rushed from one location to the next. Hands down, the worst tour I've ever experienced.
Great experience

5.00So nice to get out of the city & see the countryside. Beautiful sights, historic and fun. Our tour guide, Liam, was so informative and also provided so much history without it being just another boring history lesson. He was great! Book it!
