This guided journey offers a perfect introduction to one of England’s most picturesque regions. Your day begins in the historic village of Burford, often referred to as the gateway to the Cotswolds. As you stroll down its quaint high street, you’ll be surrounded by ancient cottages, traditional shops, and centuries old almshouses that reflect the town’s rich heritage. The peaceful charm and timeless atmosphere make it a favorite among visitors. Next, travel to Stow on the Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds.

A Peaceful Day In The Countryside

This was exactly what we needed after a busy few days in London. The countryside was peaceful and the villages were beautiful to walk around. I loved the old cottages in Burford and the atmosphere in Stow. The lunch at the country pub was hearty and enjoyable.

Bourton Was Beautiful

Bourton-on-the-Water was the highlight of the day for me. The little bridges and river running through the village are so pretty. I also enjoyed the Model Village more than I expected. Burford was charming and Stow had some lovely little shops. Overall, a really enjoyable day.

Beautiful Scenery

The scenery between the villages was just as enjoyable as the villages themselves. Everything was very green and peaceful when we visited. We enjoyed walking around Burford and Stow before spending more time in Bourton. The lunch was tasty and the day passed surprisingly quickly.

Very Well Organized

The tour was well organized and we never felt like we were constantly rushing. The guide kept us informed about where and when to meet, which made the day easy. The villages were beautiful and the lunch was tasty. A good option if you want to see more of England outside London without renting a car.

Smooth Booking and Great Day

JTR Holidays made the booking very straightforward and their team was helpful when we needed some information before the tour. On the day, everything went smoothly. We really enjoyed exploring the three villages, especially Bourton-on-the-Water. The included two-course lunch was also a nice addition to the experience.
