Itinerary
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!

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.
We are delighted that you had a great small group tour with your guide. We are also delighted to hear that your driver was professional , helpful and that you found the tour relaxing. We aim for the tour to be relaxing. This is a lovely tour to experience the English countryside. It is a great tour to see villages which are otherwise very difficult to get to without a tour group.
It seems more fitting as a small getaway trip from city life . From perspective of an international traveler, it may be underwhelmed
This is a small group tour and has a more local feel to it. This tour visits 3 local Cotswolds villages and our guide on this is very capable and is a tour guide for many years. Sorry to read you were underwhelmed, but maybe the small tour experience is not for you. This is a lovely tour with old world charm and the lived experienced in these villages.
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
The cities picked were beautiful and great examples of Cotswold villages. Easy walking tour. Driver was knowledgeable but talked a bit much.
Had an enjoyable tour of the Cotswold. Stunning, beautiful scenery. Was a small tour of only 6. Darren our Tour director was very informative & he and Simon ( driver) were friendly and helpful
Excellent way to see and experience the Cotswalds. Our driver/guide Saghir was excellent, charming and full of knowledge. Small bus was comfortable. Just enough time to explore each stop.
Emily and Gabriel did great job. They made very enjoyable. As to this survey don't know why it needs 100 min
