Burford
Our Cotswolds day tour from London begins with a visit to Burford, a medieval market village known as the “Gateway to the Cotswolds.” Led by one of our experienced guides, enjoy a walking tour of this picture postcard village which boasts pretty Tudor and Georgian buildings, an impressive church and honey-coloured stone properties. Home to just 1,100 residents admire the many charming tea rooms and local independent shops that run along both sides of the high street.
Bibury

The Swan Hotel, Bibury
From Burford, our next stop is to the nearby village of Bibury. Idyllically situated perched on the River Coln, this village was described by William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England”, and you’ll immediately notice just how tiny it is! A gorgeous 1-lane bridge connects the two sides of the river, with chocolate-box houses dotting the landscape.
Enjoy a two-course lunch at the Swan Hotel, which boasts one of the finest restaurants in the area that is ideally located overlooking the river. You’ll get to choose from a variety of classic British dishes.
*Lunch is included in the tour price
Bourton-on-the-Water

Bourton-On-The-Water
Begin the afternoon with a drive into the heart of the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, along narrow country lanes and passing by farmers fields.
Head to Bourton-on-the-Water, nicknamed “Venice of the Cotswolds,” after the little bridges that cross the stream that run through the centre of the village. On either side, you’ll find lots of small shops and antique stores, and this is probably the most famous of the Cotswolds villages.
Stow-on-the-Wold
Our final stop of the day is to Stow-on-the-Wold a major centre for the medieval wool trade. The town is still focused around the ancient market square, with the famous Stow Cross at its Centrepoint.
