Tour per piccoli gruppi di Cotswolds da Londra
Descrizione
Con una superficie di quasi 800 miglia quadrate e non meno di cinque contee inglesi, le Cotswolds sono la più grande area di bellezza naturale designata nel Regno Unito. La zona un tempo era rinomata per la produzione della lana, di cui si possono vedere ancora oggi i resti. Durante questa esperienza visiteremo tre pittoreschi villaggi nascosti nel cuore delle Cotswolds, con edifici d'epoca in pietra calcarea color miele e un ricco patrimonio culturale. Rilassati a bordo del tuo veicolo di lusso per piccoli gruppi con una guida esperta mentre ti godi il meglio della campagna inglese.

Itinerario
Regolarmente votato come uno dei villaggi più belli d'Inghilterra, Bourton-on-the-Water ha un fascino unico sia per i visitatori che per i residenti. Conosciuta come la Venezia dei Cotswolds, questo villaggio offre una vasta gamma di attrazioni e negozi, ristoranti e sale da tè, o semplicemente lo spazio per godersi un po 'di tempo tranquillo vicino al fiume Windrush, attraversato dai suoi cinque ponti ad arco. La caratteristica più preziosa di Bourton-on-the-Water è il suo fiume tranquillo. Alimentato da molte sorgenti, la sua fonte è a circa dieci miglia dal villaggio e anche nella siccità del 1976 il flusso continuò. Dove il fiume entra nel centro del paese, sopra le rapide accanto al Vecchio Mulino, le sue acque limpide scorrono sotto una miscellanea di ponti in pietra ad arco oltre il verde con le sue rive di pietra Cotswold.
Bibury - Arrivando a Bibury si può pensare di essere stati trasportati indietro ad un'altra epoca. Il villaggio fu descritto un tempo dal poeta, artista e romanziere britannico William Morris (1834-96) come “il più bel villaggio d’Inghilterra”. Le attrazioni di Bibury includono Arlington Row, una fila di cottage del XVII secolo costruiti in pietra locale accanto al fiume Coln. È una delle zone più fotografate della regione ed è stata scelta come location per il film ‘Stardust’ del 2007. Nelle vicinanze troverete il Bibury Trout Farm e una chiesa sassone. Il fiume Coln scorre tra la strada principale del villaggio e un prato acquatico: insieme ad Arlington Row come sfondo, rende uno degli scenari più pittoreschi che troverete nelle Cotswolds.
I pittoreschi cottage di Arlington Row a Bibury furono costruiti nel 1380 come negozio di lana monastica. Questo fu poi convertito in una fila di casette per tessitori nel XVII secolo. Il tessuto prodotto ad Arlington Row veniva spedito ad Arlington Mill dall'altra parte di Rack Isle. Il panno è stato poi appeso su telai di legno a Rack Isle dopo essere stato sgrassato ad Arlington Mill.
Burford – “La porta delle Cotswolds” Burford è conosciuta come la porta d'accesso ai Cotswolds. La sua High Street digrada dagli alti Wolds, da dove si gode una splendida vista sull'aperta campagna, fino al fiume Windrush circondato da salici nella graziosa valle di Windrush. Scegli di visitare i numerosi piccoli negozi di Burford che offrono formaggio Cotswolds, carni di qualità, torte appena fatte, oggetti d'antiquariato e libri.

Excellent Tour of the Cotswolds. Garry our bus driver and Manon our tour guide were fantastic. Very friendly and had great knowledge of the history of the Cotswolds. Definitely worth doing to get out of the hustle and bustle of London.
Great tour with Ana and Januz. The right amount of interesting information balanced with time to admire the beautiful countryside.
A day trip to the Cotswolds on Friday 7/8/26. Golden Tours was the company. Our guide was Dan and our driver was Captain Greg. A great team. Highly recommend. A certain level of stamina is needed. A beautiful snapshot of the english countryside. The charm of the towns and the people we visited was special.

I have traveled to more than 70 countries and have booked numerous tours through Viator over the years. This is the first time I have felt compelled to file a complaint. Some aspects of the tour were beyond Viator's control: The drought left much of the landscape dry and brown, with many lakes and streams empty. The weather was extremely hot, and the sites were overwhelmingly crowded. However, there were two issues that were entirely within Viator's control. 1. Misrepresentation of a "small group" tour I specifically booked and paid for a small-group tour in a small vehicle. Instead, there were 24 passengers on a standard-sized bus. That is not what most travelers would reasonably consider a small-group experience, and I believe the tour was misrepresented. 2. Unprofessional and unacceptable treatment by the guide I arrived early at the Evan Evans office. The office was still closed, and the driver kindly placed my heavy bag on the bus. When check-in began, I went on to the bus to briefly retrieve my confirmation from the bag, which was on the front seat. A woman, apparently the guide, immediately began speaking to me in a loud, confrontational manner. She repeatedly told me I could not leave anything on the front seat because it was reserved for the guide and accused me of trying to save a seat, even though I attempted to explain that the driver had placed my bag there. I was also holding a sealed cup of tea. She twice tried to take it from my hand, insisting that I could not bring it onto the bus. I told her I intended to finish it before boarding, but she continued to argue and again reached for the cup. Since we were standing at the bus entrance, I simply stepped off the bus to finish my tea. In all my years of travel, I have never been treated so rudely or disrespectfully. I understand that rules must be enforced, but there is a professional and courteous way to do so. The guide's behavior was unnecessary, hostile, and completely unacceptable. Because of the misleading description of the tour and the guide's conduct, I believe I deserve a refund.
Dear guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the issues you experienced. The tour description should clearly state the group size, and we understand your frustration at being placed on a larger bus than expected. We also sincerely apologise for the interaction with the guide — guests should always be treated with courtesy and professionalism, and your experience fell short of that standard. Given the misrepresentation and the behaviour you described, your request for a refund is understandable. Warm regards, evanevanstours team
Pickup and transport good. Time in the villages was also sufficient. Our guide Omar seemed rather listless and uninterested. We have had much more pleasant guides on other tours who provided information about the area with a lot of humor and variety. We therefore did not go on the group tour through the villages with our guide Omar, but preferred to go alone.
Dear guest, Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback. Es freut uns, dass Abholung, Transport und die Zeit in den Dörfern für Sie angenehm waren. Es tut uns jedoch leid zu hören, dass Omar nicht den erwarteten Enthusiasmus gezeigt hat und Sie die Führung lieber alleine gemacht haben. Ihre Rückmeldung ist für uns sehr wichtig, und wir werden sie entsprechend weitergeben.
Omar was a capable guide especially ensuring we were on time. A great day.
Dear guest, Thank you for your feedback. We’re delighted to hear Omar was a capable guide and ensured everything ran on time. We’re glad you had a great day. Warm regards, evanevanstours team
It was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience with our guide driver Tony! He was humorous and shared interesting information. As first visitors to Cotswold it was very helpful. Highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted you had such an enjoyable day with Tony and that his humour and insights made your visit to the Cotswolds even more memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again soon!
