Itinerary
Start your journey leaving Bristol, entering the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a national treasure. Drive through grasslands and valleys, simply enjoy the view.
Begin at Oxford, where you can explore college precincts, climb vantage points for skyline views, or visit the Ashmolean Museum's art and antiquities collections. Wander through elegant halls reminiscent of Harry Potter as spires reach for the sky.
Next, visit Burford, the 'Gateway to the Cotswolds.' Overflowing with character, this small market town boasts dream-worthy quaint properties along the main street. Take time to soak in local charm and hospitality, and if hungry, indulge in a traditional English 'Afternoon Tea.'
Next, take a short journey to Bibury. Prepare for a moment of awe. William Morris hailed it as England's prettiest village, and Henry Ford contemplated transporting it to the USA. Enjoy time strolling to the famed Arlington Row and wander along the Coln River.

Very positive experience, the places are spectacular, the time available for the Cotswold villages is just right, for Oxford more time would be needed, but in reality you wouldn't see it all even in two days. Nice guide, tells you everything you need to know during the trip.
Iggy did a great job driving and educating.. Oxford was better than i thought it would be. We will be definitely going back to Oxford. All 3 stops on this tour were good.
Wonderful tour guide and tour! Absolutely made our trip and would highly recommend the Oxford and Cotswold tour!!
Very interesting circuit with explanations from the guide that helped us appreciate our visits even more! Impeccable timing and adapted pace, highly recommended without hesitation!
Oxford and Cots are lovely areas worth a visit, the coach is new and very comfortable, even for a person with motion sickness.
Tom was a great guide. Full of interesting facts. Plenty of time to walk and explore Oxford. Loved the Cottswold villages. Very entertaining. Would highly recommend.
A perfect day outside of the city! Daniel was an excellent guide. Oxford is amazing and loved the countryside of the Cotswolds.
I feel the time was very limited to explore the place.
It was a really lovely experience and very comfortable coach. Our guide Alex was phenomenal, he was knowledgeable and funny, made this trip even more enjoyable. Kasia
The tour was excellent. Alex, the guide, has helped me a lot, as I am older and do not speak English. It is highly recommended and the villages visited are beautiful. Thank you!
