Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

Trade the noise of London for the cobblestone streets and rolling green hills of England’s most enchanting countryside. This top-rated small-group day tour balances rich historical commentary with the freedom to explore independently - taking you to the iconic university city of Oxford and two of the most picture-perfect villages in the Cotswolds: Burford and Bibury.
With group sizes strictly capped at 16 passengers, you'll enjoy a relaxed pace, extra legroom on a premier mini-coach, and dedicated insight from your friendly driver-guide.
