This small-group day trip from London takes visitors to the Cotswolds, a large designated Area of Natural Beauty that spans five English counties and covers nearly 800 square miles. The tour focuses on three villages in the heart of the Cotswolds known for their honey-colored limestone buildings and historical connections to wool production. Travel by a small luxury vehicle equipped with free Wi-Fi and USB charging. An expert guide provides commentary throughout the approximately 10-hour trip. Stops include Bourton-on-the-Water, where visitors have about 90 minutes to walk along the River Windrush, see its five arched stone bridges, and explore shops and tea rooms. Bibury is next, with a 60-minute walking tour featuring Arlington Row, the 17th-century weavers’ cottages beside the River Coln, as well as nearby trout farms and a Saxon church. A separate 15-minute stop focuses specifically on Arlington Row’s history as a wool store and weavers’ cottages. The final stop is Burford, known as the gateway to the Cotswolds. Visitors have around two hours to stroll the High Street, enjoy views from the Wolds, and browse shops selling local cheese, meats, cakes, antiques, and books. The tour includes personal audio headsets for ease of hearing the guide and a walking tour of the villages. Hotel pickup and lunch are not included.

Itinerary
Bourton-on-the-Water
Spend about 90 minutes in Bourton-on-the-Water, a village known for its five arched stone bridges crossing the River Windrush. Visitors can explore shops, restaurants, and tea rooms or relax by the river. The river originates about ten miles away and maintained flow even during the 1976 drought. The village center is marked by rapids near the Old Mill and a green bordered by Cotswold stone.
90 min
Bibury
Spend approximately 60 minutes in Bibury, described by William Morris as 'the most beautiful village in England.' The village features Arlington Row, a 17th-century row of weavers’ cottages made of local stone next to the River Coln. Nearby are the Bibury Trout Farm and a Saxon church. The River Coln runs between the main street and a water meadow, creating a well-photographed scene.
60 min
Arlington Row
A 15-minute stop at Arlington Row focuses on this row of cottages originally built in 1380 as a monastic wool store. In the 17th century, it was converted into weavers’ cottages. Cloth produced here was sent to Arlington Mill and dried on wooden frames on Rack Isle after degreasing.
15 min
Burford
Spend about two hours in Burford, considered the gateway to the Cotswolds. The High Street slopes from the Wolds with views over the countryside down to the willow-lined River Windrush. Visitors can explore numerous small shops selling local Cotswolds cheese, meats, cakes, antiques, and books.
