Known as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds" we stop in this charming village. Wander the grounds of the parish church, and pop into some of the charming shops on the picturesque main street.
In the heart of the Cotswolds is Bourton-On-The-Water, often referred to as the Venice of the Cotswolds. This peaceful village is a little slice of Cotswolds paradise , with its beautiful arched bridges and tranquil riverside walks, as well as a wealth of attractions, there is something for everyone here. Enjoy a traditional lunch, or relax in the beautiful surroundings.
Described by poet William Morris as the most beautiful village in England. The River Coln runs through the centre of Bibury and its home to all manner of wildlife like swans, ducks and kingfishers. Visit the hundred year old Bibury Trout Farm, which spawns ten million brown and rainbow trout every year. But the jewel in the crown is the Arlington Row, the most photographed row of cottages in the country! It is impossible to resist the need to catch some snaps of these postcard perfect 13th Century cottages, so iconic that they even feature on the inside cover of the UK passport!
Great tour … lovely guide and driver (Tony and Lyn). The Cotswolds was everything and more than I expected. The tour took us to beautiful villages, with lots of opportunities to eat, drink, shop, and wander.
This experience was definitely a highlight of my trip to the UK. The driver/guide Tony was knowledgeable, personable, informative and an excellent driver.
Our tour guide was informative, amusing, professional, and well-versed. A long day of riding, however.
It's a lovely tour, beautiful little villages, so quent, The driver/guide was so knowledgeable, and made you feel so relaxed. I'd certainly go on other tours. His knowledge on what to see and do around London etc was phenomenal. Weather wise it was a bad day, but did not dampen the spirits.
Very stress free way to get to see and experience a beautiful region of the UK. Tour guide was very informative and friendly excellent driver
It involves a lot of walking! However, it is well worth the walk. Just be prepared with good walking shoes.
Taking the small group bus was definitely the way to your the Cotswalds. Our driver was very engaging and he gave us history of the area.
Cotwolds are beautiful and trip was well organized. Driver was charming and informative. He drove very professionally and safely. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful, fun, informative driver named Elijah. Also we always had clear instructions about when and where we needed to be. I would suggest going to just Burton and Bibury to allow more time and n each
It was a beautiful day touring Cotswold villages. Shaqir was our guide and was wonderful. He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the individual villages we stopped in. He was very accommodating to the requests of his passengers and handled the London traffic like the pro he is. It was an excellent day out with a very competent guide.
A smaller coach that holds say 16 pax is enough. Our driver Saguir was excellent. We went to Cotswold areas a half day. Most of the time is on the coach so a half day is enough. Our driver SAGUIR was excellent!
Lovely countryside! However, drive was far too long & the cost was not worth it. We were told 9 hours & it was close to 11 hours. There were no “perks” such as lunch & the cost for 3 seniors was $454 Canadian. The driver was fine but his use of the word “guys” when referring to us was excessive - at least 20times an hour when we were on the bus - we weren’t all “guys”! Also, he was too opinionated about what he like & disliked. Very vocal about Jeremy Clarkson & consequently we did not stop at either Jeremy Clarkson’s farm or his brewery. We didn’t spend enough time in 2 of the 3 villages on the tour. Overall, my family & I were disappointed in the tour.
A lovely day out visiting 3 beautiful villages in the Cotswolds. Obviously just a snapshot of each one.
Our trip was flawless. Everything was as promised and our tour guide (Elijah I think) was phenomenal. He gave us very interesting facts about the area and England and clearly explained each destination. The three villages we visited were perfect and everything was timed perfectly.
Sakhir is an excellent tour guide and driver…he offered insights and information that I found very interesting and stimulating. At every turn—literally—he kept us informed of scheduling, driving distances and other relevant tour information. He treated his passengers with courtesy & respect—most appreciated!
Great experience loved the trip Martin was so nice and funny too. Would’ve liked to stay a little bit longer at our last stop.
Wonderful day touring the beautiful Cotswolds. We had a very congenial group and Saghir was a fantastic tour guide!, He was full of info & history about our stops, as well as reccomendations for where to shop and eat. The fish and chips restaurant near the middle of town in Burton on the Water provided the best and freshest fish and chips I’ve ever had. Only downside was wanting more time in each place. We also had one passenger who managed to get “delayed” or “lost” at two of the stops which delayed us considerably and cut into much desired time at Bibury. Please “dearest gentle tourists”, be considerate of other passengers as well as your driver/ tour guide, and be ON TIME when it’s time to move on to the next stop. The rest of us managed to do it! But Saghir was great at catching us up as best he could. I can’t say enough about Mr Saghir and his guiding skills which were both informative and entertaining.
Great tour. Darren was a very good driver and guide. Kept to the schedule.
Our driver was professional and knowledgeable. He made it a very fun day. I would suggest doing only 2 towns and staying longer at each.
Our uber was running late and the driver waited for us. Very much appreciated thank you. The diver did through in a few jokes which I enjoyed
Given we were in the beautiful Cotswolds, all our driver/guide talked about was the “snob factor” in the area. So much rich history ignored. This was the theme from the time we drove out of London. Tiresome.
We booked this tour because we were looking for a chance to see the beautiful English countryside and villages. It was as beautiful as I imagined and then some. We wanted to travel with a smaller group than a bus tour. This size group was perfect. Our driver, Saghir, was knowledgeable, drove safely and very pleasant. It wears a great day and experience!
Our guide, Daisy, provided lots of information on the Cotswolds. She was very engaging with the people on the tour.
A must see when in London. Absolutely beautiful area. Plenty of time in each town to see everything and a nice lunch. Our driver and guide, Elijah, was awesome. Gave us informative commentary on the way there and back, but not all the way. Was perfect. Highly recommend this tour.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this trip to the Cotswolds! Our tour guide and driver was outstanding and the scenery was just so beautiful!! I only wish we had more time, particularly in Bourton-by-the-Water! There were so many lovely shops, great food and so many things to see and do! It's worth mentioning the Small village display is walking distance to the town center and definitely worth a visit! We really had a magnificent time and would love to go back!
Very long day of riding in the van to visit 3 villages in The Cotswolds, 2 of which are very small, and not really spending much time in any of them. Time and money is better spent on other things.
Loved visiting the small countryside towns. Would’ve preferred more time in the Cottswalds and less time in others but all in all, it was nice to get out of the city for the day.
Our driver and guide Saghir was very friendly and seemed knowledgeable and provided some good options for lunch. We enjoyed our day and would recommend this tour if you are looking experience the Cotswald in a day from London.
Beautiful to visit the Cotswolds. The stops are great and suggest lunch at Burton. Shop fast as there isn’t much time!!
Tony was a great driver and kept us on schedule. Plenty of time at each stop. Very professional when dealing with one group that had challenges being on time.
The tour is advertised as 10 hours, but it actually lasts around 9 hours, and a very large part of that time is spent on the road. We spent only half an hour in the first village, two hours in the second, and half an hour in the third. If the tour is going to finish earlier than advertised, then at the very least, we should be given one hour instead of just half an hour in the first and third villages. After travelling such a long distance, that would make the journey feel more worthwhile. Otherwise, half an hour is simply far too short. You barely have time to see anything before you have to leave again.
A wonderful guide who clearly mapped out the day for us. Saghir gave us very informative facts as we were leaving London, along the way and prior to each of the 3 towns we visited. The time allocated for each town was perfect.
The Cotswold Villages are so beautiful!! This trip was perfect for a day away from London. There was just enough time spent at each stop to get a nice taste of the village. It's enough to say I've been there and to decide which Village I'd like to return to spend more time. The coach was comfortable and the guide was pleasant, I really enjoyed myself.
The trip was so much fun! Elijah was a fantastic guide, honestly the best we could have wished for. Thanks a lot for this wonderful day!
Beautiful scenery and full of history! Saghir, our guide and driver was absolutely wonderful! He gave insight and history of the Cotswold region, along with very good and humerus stories about the area!! Saghir was an excellent driver and very personable…he made the day well worth while!!
Driver was friendly and very knowledgeable- Very heavy traffic with cars buses and humans- I feel it needs an overhaul to manage numbers of visitors- The Cotswold are peaceful pretty little towns - it needs to maintain relaxed and peaceful environment. Tourists at level must drive the locals insane.
It was wonderful , we had a great knowledgeable tour guide who gave us all kinds of information It was the perfect amount of time in the Cotswold
Bus was comfortable. Sites are interesting. Highly recommend for a restful day tour. Driver was awesome
Excellent driver/tour operator. Very uncomfortable mini coach; seats are too narrow and poor back support. Loved two of the three villages. Too much time was spent in Burton on the Wold. A curated place for shopping and eating, on our visit it was especially noisy and crowded. The other two villages were historically more interesting.
A nice little trip where you ger to see the «must-sees» in the three towns. Tony was a great guide/driver. I only wish we had more time in each town, I feelt I had to rush.
We had a wonderful tour guide, Daisy and driver Robert, who showed us the beauty of the Cotswolds. Daisy was full of information and historical facts. She also had wonderful tips of things to try and do in the little villages. We spent such a lovely day and would recommend this tour to anyone.
Cotswolds were more touristy than I expected. Thought we would be given more history about the area.
We highly recommend the Cotswold’s tour with Trish and Elijah! Trish’s fun and interesting stories throughout the day, as well as her upbeat and friendly personality made for an enjoyable and memorable day!
We had a wonderful time on our tour to the Cotwolds. Trish was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable on the area. Our driver Elijah did a great job getting us to and from London to the Cotswolds. I highly recommend both this tour and our guides Trish and Elijah!
Sandra was very thorough with her information between and during each stop. Not too much, just enough information. Stayed on schedule and offered suggestions what to visit at each charming stop. Only rec that travelers are aware where they drop off as it was not in same place as they picked up. Thank you Sandra!
Definitely book it! While I wish there was more time at each location because they were all so wonderful, they did a beautiful job of maximizing each stop for our enjoyment. They were punctual, friendly, and informative. Overall, it was a fabulous day, and our tour guide Trisha was amazing! Our driver, Elija, was skilled, friendly and punctual. I highly recommend this tour!!!!
Very well organized , and well timed tour of three lovely worthwhile towns - small group experience made it especially relaxing. Our driver was professional and helpful.
It seems more fitting as a small getaway trip from city life . From perspective of an international traveler, it may be underwhelmed
Darren, the guide and driver was great. He shared so much information, not just about our own tour, but other stuff as well. He was friendly and approachable, also a fantastic driver
Lovely people the tourist was very knowledgeable and told us many stories. He was very professional and explained locations
