Stratford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare’s Birthplace
Start in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. Enjoy a 50-minute guided walking tour, including Shakespeare’s Birthplace, Holy Trinity Church, and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Walk through historic Tudor streets before continuing into the Cotswolds.

Chipping Campden – Market Town Charm
This historic wool town is known for its golden stone buildings, 17th-century Market Hall, and St. James’ Church. Wander through its elegant high street, lined with historic architecture and independent shops.

Broadway Tower – Panoramic Views
Located on one of the highest points in the Cotswolds, Broadway Tower offers stunning views across up to 16 counties. Explore the historic 18th-century folly and surrounding parkland.

Snowshill – A Hidden Cotswolds Gem
A secluded village offering breathtaking hilltop views and beautifully preserved Cotswold cottages. Snowshill remains untouched by large tour groups, making it an ideal stop for a peaceful escape.

Stow-on-the-Wold – A Historic Hilltop Town
A charming market town known for antique shops, cozy tearooms, and medieval history. Visit St. Edward’s Church, famous for its yew tree-flanked doorway, and explore the historic market square.

Bourton-on-the-Water – The Venice of the Cotswolds
This riverside village is famous for its low stone bridges crossing the River Windrush. Walk along the scenic riverbanks and explore local attractions such as the Model Village and Birdland Park.

Bibury – Home to Arlington Row
One of the most photographed locations in England, Arlington Row is a collection of 14th-century weavers' cottages. Stroll along the River Coln and experience the timeless charm of Bibury.

Secret Villages – Hidden Gems of the Cotswolds
Unlike larger tours, we take back roads to explore five lesser-known villages, where you can experience the quiet charm of the English countryside away from tourist crowds.
