Itinerary

Oxford Stop 1
Known as the "City of Dreaming Spires," Oxford boasts world-famous architecture and centuries of academic prestige. Spend your time wandering historical quads, climbing St Mary’s Church tower for panoramic city views, browsing the historic Covered Market, or visiting the world-class Ashmolean Museum. Pro Tip: If you wish to visit specific college interiors (such as Christ Church), pre-book your entry tickets online for between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM.
2h
Burford Stop 2
Nestled alongside the River Windrush, Burford is famously known as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds." Take in breathtaking views from the top of the sloping High Street, lined with 15th-century stone buildings, traditional English pubs, and local bakeries. Perfect for a quick bite or authentic cream tea.
45 min
Bibury Stop 3
Once declared "the prettiest village in England" by William Morris, Bibury feels like stepping straight into a postcard. Stroll along Arlington Row, a iconic terrace of 14th-century weavers' cottages running alongside the tranquil River Coln, and explore the nearby trout farm and sleepy village lanes.
