this was a beautiful tour. I must see if you're in London, the Cotswald are gorgeous, quaint and wonderful to walk-through. The history of them is magnificent. Just be careful to read the fine print when booking because ours did not include the lunch although the title of the trip made it seem that lunch was included when you bought the tour, there were other tour titles that did not include lunch in Laycock so we assumed that since this one included lunch that it was included in the price of our tickets, but we were wrong.

A wonderful day exploring the villages of the Cotswolds. The minibus and the small group size allowed us to save time and thoroughly visit four of the area’s most picturesque villages, including their most famous spots.

On a very hot day the air conditioned coach was comfortable for our group of about 22 and a blessed escape from the heat and congestion in London. Our driver Hector was excellent and our guide Toby was all anyone could ask for, engaging, knowledgeable and very helpful. A thoroughly enjoyable day exploring 3 well chosen villages in the beautiful Cotswolds. Thank you. Michael and Valmae from Brisbane Australia.

Amazing guided tour by Mike who was super friendly the places are incredible, but even more impressive is learning about their history. We had also enough time to walk around, explore and take pictures.

Spend a full day away from the city on a countryside route to the Cotswolds, with round-trip coach travel included so you can relax and enjoy every stop.

Meet your English-speaking guide and group at the coach, settle into the AC bus, then ride out of the city together to begin your tour.

Enjoy a full-day guided tour through Bibury, Burford, and Stow-on-the-Wold, with time at each stop to stroll, take photos, and soak up village life.

Hear stories and tips from your guide on board and in each village, helping you use your time without worrying about planning or routes.

Upgrade to add a 2-course lunch at a historic 17th-century inn in Bibury, with time to sit, refuel, and chat before more village exploring.
