Itinerary

08:00 meet up ,08:30 depart on time

258 Vauxhall Bridge Road, London, SW1V 1BS

Approx. 19:00 London Victoria Train Station

After leaving London, we will travel by small group vehicle into the English countryside, with our first stop Burford, known as the "Gateway to the Cotswolds." The town’s main street stretches along a hillside, lined with honey-colored stone cottages, independent shops, and traditional English architecture. You can enjoy a leisurely stroll down the street, browse antique shops or cafes, and take in the pastoral views of the Windrush Valley to kick off your day in the countryside.

Next, we head to Bibury. Its most famous landmark is Arlington Row: a row of ancient stone cottages sitting quietly by the River Coln, showcasing the classic rural character of the Cotswolds. A walk along the village paths allows you to admire the interplay of the river, stone houses, and greenery, with plenty of time to stop for photos.

Finally, we arrive at Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the "Venice of the Cotswolds." The crystal-clear River Windrush flows through the center of the village, with low stone bridges connecting the streets and green spaces on both banks. You can stroll along the river, explore local shops and tearooms, or find a favorite spot to sit and enjoy a relaxing moment of English country life.

After the tour, we will return to London by vehicle, with the trip expected to conclude near London Victoria Station around 7:00 PM; the actual arrival time is subject to traffic conditions on the day.
