Itinéraire
La journée commence par quitter Londres et se diriger vers la campagne typiquement anglaise des Cotswolds; une région réputée pour son paysage magnifique, ses charmants villages et ses cottages en pierre couleur miel. Notre premier arrêt sera la ville traditionnelle de Burford; connue sous le nom de «porte d'entrée des Cotswolds». C'est un lieu historique où de nombreuses maisons remontent à près de 600 ans et peu de choses ont changé depuis des siècles. Au cours de la visite, vous aurez le temps d'explorer Burford, de visiter la magnifique église et de vous promener le long de la rue principale pour visiter un mélange de boutiques familiales indépendantes.
Le village de Bibury est souvent décrit comme le "plus beau village d'Angleterre". Cette scène charmante est un instantané de la vie à la campagne anglaise traditionnelle. Promenez-vous le long de la rivière et découvrez l'emblématique Arlington Row. un ensemble de cottages de tisserands qui sont maintenant l'un des symboles des Cotswolds.
Notre pause déjeuner est le charmant village de Bourton-on-the-Water. Le cadre fluvial de la ville l'a vue devenir la « Venise des Cotswolds ».
Nous poursuivrons notre chemin à travers la campagne jusqu'à Stow-on-the-Wold, la plus haute ville des Cotswolds, qui est un amas d'anciennes auberges et de magasins d'antiquités situés autour de la place animée du marché. Cette ville historique fut un lieu d’inspiration pour JRR Tolkien et fut également l’endroit de la dernière bataille de la guerre civile anglaise en 1646.

Ollie was a fantastic tour guide and provided great insight into the different towns we went to. The whole day was absolutely fantastic and would recommend it to anyone looking to do a tour in the Cotswolds. I also liked how it was a small group of people. It was also awesome that you were able to walk around on your own at each sight but could also ask Ollie for recommendations.
It was a hot day. But Shawn our driver and guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. Had a great experience at the villages. Loved the lunch at the Dial house restaurant in Bourton on the water village. Good ice cream available in all the villages
This is a great way to see the English countryside and get a taste of life in four small towns in Cotswold. Our guide,Sean, was knowledgeable, friendly and a great driver on very narrow roads.
Liam was a great guide. Great information and great music.
What an amazing experience. The scenary was breathtaking. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, funny and such a joy to be around.
A colleague and I took The Cotswolds tour and really enjoyed the experience. Our driver/guide Sean was friendly, communicative and knowledgeable. He had a good sense of humor and was a skilled driver for the narrow roads when we got into the smaller towns. The bus was quite comfortable and his playlist was good. The 4 stops on the tour were enough to give us a sense of the different towns and what makes the area so special. It was nice to be able to go and come back on the same day. I'd highly recommend this tour to anyone in London who is not keen on renting a car. The Cotswolds are quite spread out, so this tour made our visit possible given our limited timeline and lack of rental car.

Overall, this was a lovely solo day while traveling with my brother's family (they all went on a tour that I had already experienced). I thoroughly enjoyed hearing what our excellent guide, Sheila, had to share about the places we saw and visited along our journey. I appreciated that she did not expect a woman traveling solo to share seats with a man traveling solo, and as someone who has hearing loss, I also am grateful that she let me sit near her so I could see and understand her speech. Our driver, Mickey, was very adept and fun as well. The only drawback was that I am not interested in shopping/etc., and so I was disappointed just a little that the tour took us to some great spots but the description had led me to believe that they would be more guided and less of a shopping opportunity. I do have to say that Sheila did show us some great spots and walked us to some key destinations, so I don't blame her at all. She offered some good hints and tips for each location as well.
It was a veery pleasing trip with my family. Van was very comfortable and our driver/guide was just amazing. Definitely recommend, worth the money.
Our family recently participated in the Clarkson’s Farm tour to the Cotswolds. Glenn was our guide and made our tour even more enjoyable than we could have imagined! Despite a late start and extra traffic outside of London, we were still able to enjoy a good amount of time at each stop we made. There were no major celebrity sightings this journey (though I did get to meet Ms. Charlotte who was briefly featured in Season 5). The tour bus itself was spacious and kept us as comfortable as we could be in the nearly 90°F weather! Would definitely book with this tour group again!
