Il programma nel dettaglio

Travel back in time to a simpler life full of beautiful countryside landscapes and quaint little cottages. The Cotswolds are a magical set of villages and the perfect backdrop for lunch and a spot of tea.

Highlights
- Visit Burford, Bibury, Bourton-on-the-water and Stow-on-the-Wold
- Enjoy a delicious lunch at the Swan Hotel
- Learn about the fascinating history and local culture

Our full day tour begins in Burford, a beautiful medieval town regarded by many as 'the gateway to the Cotswolds'. You'll have time to stroll down the magnificent high street, with buildings featuring every variety of Cotswold stone. There will be time to visit the tea houses and shops before we head south to Bibury, described as the ‘prettiest village in the Cotswolds’, by William Morris. Admire the cottages built in the late 1300s, which are also featured on the inside of all United Kingdom passports. You may also recognize this location from the popular movie “Bridget Jones Diary.”



Lunch beckons and what better way to satisfy your hunger than with a fabulous two course lunch in the Swan Hotel, situated in the centre of Bibury overlooking the River Coln. The 17th century former coaching Inn serves a fabulous range of traditional cooking, ales and fine wines. Relax and rewind, in comfy armchairs in quirky styled warm rooms. Perhaps if you’re lucky you will indeed see a mother swan with her signets, as they drift past on the river.



In the afternoon we take a leisurely drive passing through charming villages before visiting Bourton-on-the-water and Stow-on-the Wold, two of the most picturesque parts of the northern Cotswolds. Your guide will take you on a short walk in each village explaining their history, and there's time to pop in to some of the many boutiques and tearooms, before re-joining the coach and returning to London.
