Highlights
  • Oxford - Our day trip from London begins with a visit to Oxford, city of dreaming spires. Here, follow your guide in the footsteps of famous alumni such as author J. R. R. Tolkien, poet and playwright Oscar Wilde, and renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. Wander down narrow back streets to ancient colleges and pretty quadrangles, and soak up the atmosphere in this bustling university city. You’ll also visit Oxford University’s oldest classroom — the medieval Divinity School. When your walking tour comes to an end, enjoy free time to explore at your leisure before we head to the stunning Cotswolds.
  • Cotswolds - Our first stop is delightful Burford with stone houses cascading down to the River Windrush, see Woolsack tombs in the historic churchyard before we stop for a delicious lunch in a traditional Cotswolds country pub. Sit back and relax in an ancient stone hostelry and experience centuries-old tavern life in a world where a gentle, slower pace is the norm. We then visit Bibury with its photogenic collection of houses known as Arlington Row, before driving through stunning centuries old villages with photo stops including popular Bourton on the Water with its collection of stone bridges.

Lovely day in the countryside - This was such a lovely day exploring the cotswolds and Oxford. Some how I lucked out on it being a solo tour. I was so appreciative of that the vendor didn’t cancel and also informed me of this. My guide, Tony was so knowledgeable and really catered the tour to my interests. The lunch was great and at a lovely little inn. Thank you so much for a great day!
