It was a great trip. The guide was excellent. I recommed!
Best day ever- the sun came out too, so it was an added bonus! A good day of learning history and visiting prettiest villages of England. Our tour guide Daniel was amazing - kind, fun and kept the group more than happy! Was very accommodating - made us reach the fourth village on time before it got dark so we could see the famous spot. Overall experience was great - will definitely get on another trip!

Full description
Enjoy the sights of the Cotswolds, as well as some quieter, less-seen areas of the countryside.
First we will stop in the small town of Burford, one of the most unchanged medieval towns in England with many buildings that are more than 500 years old. You will be able to visit the local historic church (if no weddings or ceremonies), walk down the main street and explore the town.
Then we will head to Bibury, known as the most beautiful village of England. Also known from the Stardust movie.
Walk along the river and have a photoshoot at Arlington Row, a collection of cottages that are now one of the symbols of the Cotswolds. Enjoy free time to explore the charming village.
We will continue to the picturesque town of Bourton-on-the-Water. Allow enough time to walk along the river and its small villages, admire the stone houses and have lunch. You will have a chance to visit the Cotswold Motoring and Toy Museum (£9.75 Entry for Adults - £8.75 Kids/Students/Seniors) or the Model Village (£4.50 Entry for Adults - £3.50 Kids/Students/Seniors) or Birdland Park & Gardens (£14.95 for Adults - £13.95 Kids/Students/Seniors).
We'll end our tour with a visit to Stow-on-the-Wold, a bunch of pretty courtyards and antique shops around the old market square. Stow has been a trading centre in the Cotswolds for centuries and was the site of the last battle of the English Civil War in 1646. It is also home to 'England's Oldest Pub'!!
After that, the tour returns to the meeting point.
