Itinerario
A 40 minutos en coche del centro de Oxford nos lleva al borde de los Cotswolds y el bonito pueblo de Bampton, aunque los fanáticos de cierto programa de televisión pueden conocerlo mejor como “Downton”. Hay cafeterías y tiendas aquí para abastecerse de aperitivos y una pequeña exposición de Downton Abbey para los superfans!
Después de 15 minutos en coche de Bampton, llegaremos al encantador pueblo de Shilton - una joya escondida aquí en los Cotswolds! Este encantador pueblo está fuera del sendero turístico, tranquilo y pacífico, con un vado muy pintoresco (río cruzando la calle). ¡Es un hermoso lugar para detenerse y ser instantáneamente feliz con su cámara!
Dejando Shilton, tomaremos las carreteras secundarias panorámicas (30 minutos), a través de los bonitos pueblos de Eastleach y Coln St Aldwyn's, para llegar a su próxima parada - el popular pueblo de Bibury. Hogar de la famosa fila de casas de campo de Arlington, Bibury a menudo se describe como "el pueblo más bonito de Inglaterra". ¡Mira por ti mismo!
16 - los minibuses de 16 plazas pueden viajar por carreteras inadecuadas para autobuses más grandes - y la ruta panorámica de 40 minutos de Bibury a Bourton-on-the-Water es un ejemplo perfecto de esto! Llegaremos a Bourton-on-the-Water (un pueblo donde los autocares más grandes no pueden aparcar) y atravesaremos el hermoso Valle de Coln. Tendrá aproximadamente 1 hora 15 minutos de tiempo libre aquí para explorar este bonito pueblo junto al río. Quizás almorzar en uno de los muchos salones de té o cafeterías con encanto, pasear por el río Windrush, comprar regalos o visitar un museo local.
Saliendo de Bourton-on-the-Water, a 25 minutos en coche - pasando por los encantadores pueblos de Great Barrington y Taynton - nos lleva a su última parada en la histórica ciudad comercial de Cotswold de Burford. Sube a ‘The Hill’ para disfrutar de hermosas cabañas y vistas de largo alcance, comprar regalos y antigüedades, o tomar un té crema en uno de los salones de té locales. ¡No te pierdas la impresionante “iglesia de lana” de San Juan Bautista con su sorprendente historia!

This was a truly special tour that perfectly captured the quintessential villages and beautiful countryside of England. Thanks to the small group and bus size, we were able to visit quieter, hidden-gem villages untouched by mass tourism, alongside the more well-known spots. At each destination, we were given the perfect amount of free time to explore and enjoy at our own pace. Peter was an incredibly kind and knowledgeable guide who brought the history and culture of England to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic look at the English countryside! (Note to the tour company: Peter kindly took a group souvenir photo of us, but I haven't received it via email yet. I would be so grateful if you could check on this, as I would love to have a copy to remember this wonderful trip!)
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Go Cotswolds tour and that it gave you an authentic experience of the Cotswolds and the beautiful English countryside. It's wonderful to know you appreciated the mix of iconic villages and quieter hidden gems, as well as the relaxed pace with plenty of time to explore each stop. We'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Peter. His knowledge, warmth, and passion for sharing the history and culture of the Cotswolds make every tour special, and we're so pleased he helped make your day such a memorable one. Thank you as well for mentioning the group photo. We are still working our way through this week's photos, so please keep an eye on your inbox at the end of the week—we expect your souvenir photo to be with you then! We hope to welcome you back on another Go Cotswolds tour in the future.
Book it! Absolutely amazing! The guide was talking lound and clear, he was easy to follow and so wonderful that we got to see some of the less touristy villages as well! The only thing was that in Burton-on-the-water - 1hour,15min was too little. Should have had 2 hours here. So many cute shops and things we wanted to see, but had every little time to discover when we also needed to eat. But absolutely amazing trip!
Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear you had such an amazing time on your Cotswolds in a Day tour. It's wonderful to know your guide's clear commentary and enthusiasm helped bring the Cotswolds to life, and that you enjoyed discovering some of the region's quieter, less touristy villages alongside the famous highlights. Thank you as well for your feedback about Bourton-on-the-Water. We completely understand—it's such a beautiful village with plenty of shops, cafés, and attractions, and many guests would happily spend even longer there! Balancing time across all the villages on a one-day guided Cotswolds tour is always a challenge, but we really appreciate your comments and will take them on board. Thank you again for recommending Go Cotswolds, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the Cotswolds very soon!
The tour was wonderful. The visited towns were charming. Our guide, Pete, was very friendly, and his pronunciation of English was very clear and easy to understand. The stories he told were very interesting and entertaining. 100% recommendable. The only detail is that we would have liked to spend more time at each stop; a suggestion is to extend the duration of the excursion.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the beautiful Cotswolds villages and that Peter helped make your day both informative and entertaining. Peter has a real talent for bringing the history, stories, and character of the Cotswolds to life, and we're pleased that you found his commentary clear, engaging, and easy to follow. It's fantastic to know that you found the villages charming and that the tour gave you a memorable introduction to this beautiful part of England. We also greatly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you as well for your suggestion regarding extending the tour. We completely understand the desire to spend more time in each village—it's one of the most common compliments we receive about the Cotswolds! Unfortunately, extending the day isn't practical due to the strict driving hours and working time regulations that our driver/ guides must follow. Their days are already long, and these limits are important for both safety and staff wellbeing. Designing a Cotswolds day tour always involves balancing the number of villages visited with the time available at each stop. While we'd all love a few extra hours in these beautiful locations, we're committed to operating within safe and responsible working hours for our team. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Cotswolds adventure in the future - for more time in those fabulous villages!
Lots of nice villages and towns but not enough time between stops. Some stops were not really necessary and staying longer to the most busy places would have been nicer. The driver was very kind and helpful with lots of information to share between locations
Thank you for your feedback, Eva. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting the Cotswolds' beautiful towns and villages on our Cotswolds Day tour from Oxford, and that you found your driver kind, helpful, and informative throughout the day. We'll be sure to pass your compliments on to them. We also appreciate your comments regarding the time spent at each stop. One of the challenges of a day tour is balancing time in the most popular locations with the opportunity to show guests some of the smaller villages and hidden gems that make the Cotswolds so special. We know that different guests often have different favourites and wish they could spend longer in different places. Your feedback is very valuable, and we'll certainly take it into consideration as we continue to review and refine our itineraries. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back to the Cotswolds in the future.
Our guide Wendy was delightful and informative—a very enjoyable day. Traveling in a minibus we were able to go on back roads and see much more of the Cotswolds.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re so pleased to hear you had an enjoyable day with Wendy. Her friendly, informative style really helps bring the Cotswolds to life, and it’s great to know that came through on your tour. We also appreciate your comments about travelling by minibus—being able to take the quieter back roads and reach more hidden parts of the Cotswolds is something we really value, and it’s wonderful that it added to your experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to see you on another Go Cotswolds tour in the future.
Excellent all driver explanation and punctuality The excursion is worth it It's better than renting a car and going freelance
¡Gracias por tu amable reseña! We’re so pleased you enjoyed the tour and found the commentary informative and the day well organised. We especially appreciate your comments about touring with us instead of driving independently.

Thanks again for travelling with us and for your recommendation!
