Itinerary
Your tour begins at Victoria Coach Station
Meet your English-speaking guide at Victoria Coach Station, Gate 18 to 20, then board a comfortable air-conditioned coach. Settle in for a scenic two-hour drive west into the rolling hills of the Cotswolds countryside.
Explore honey-colored Burford
Step off the coach in Burford, the honey-stone gateway to the region, and follow your guide down its sloping high street. Learn how the medieval wool trade built this town while you browse tea rooms and independent shops.
Wander the lanes of Bibury
Next, stroll into Bibury, once called England's prettiest village, where the River Coln flows past honey-colored cottages. Your guide leads you to Arlington Row, a line of 14th-century weavers' homes photographed worldwide.
Savor a two-course lunch at the Swan Hotel
Then, pause at the Swan Hotel, a 17th-century coaching inn beside the River Coln, for a relaxed two-course lunch. Once used to rest travelers and horses, the inn now serves seasonal English dishes with a refined, modern touch.
Walk through hilltop Stow-on-the-Wold
Finally, arrive in Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town set 800 feet up where ancient trade routes once crossed. Follow your guide to the medieval Market Square and St. Edward's Church, famous for the yew trees framing its door.
Your tour ends at Victoria Railway Station
By late afternoon, reboard the coach for a relaxed drive back to London. Your tour ends at Victoria Railway Station, near the Underground and rail links, so you can head straight to dinner or your next stop in the city.
