Overview

The Cotswolds is England at its most unhurried — honey-gold villages, medieval market towns, rivers running under low bridges, and countryside that looks like it was painted rather than grown. This private full-day tour from London gives you nine hours to explore at your own pace, in a vehicle that is yours alone.

Your driver collects you from your London hotel or address and heads west into Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, stopping at four celebrated villages: Burford, with its medieval high street sloping to the River Windrush; Bibury, with Arlington Row cottages that appear on the British passport; Bourton-on-the-Water, where stone bridges cross the river through the village; and Stow-on-the-Wold, the highest town in the Cotswolds.

No other passengers. No coach. No fixed departure point — you control the pace. Browse antique shops, walk Arlington Row, find a table at a Cotswolds pub. Your driver waits at every stop. Free Wi-Fi, bottled water, and door-to-door pickup included.

What to expect

  1. Burford
    1h
    Often called the Gateway to the Cotswolds, Burford is one of the region’s most picturesque towns. With its historic stone houses, medieval bridge over the River Windrush, and the famous High Street gently sloping down towards the river, Burford feels like stepping back in time. You’ll find charming independent shops, traditional pubs, and tearooms serving homemade treats. Highlights include the impressive St. John the Baptist Church, dating back over 900 years, and the timeless atmosphere that makes Burford a favorite stop for travelers seeking authentic Cotswold beauty.
  2. Bibury
    1h
    Described by William Morris as “the most beautiful village in England”, Bibury is famous for its idyllic charm. The highlight is Arlington Row, a row of 17th-century weavers’ cottages that have become one of the most photographed sights in the Cotswolds. Set along the tranquil River Coln, the village offers postcard-perfect scenery with stone cottages, quaint bridges, and lush greenery. Bibury captures the very essence of the Cotswolds and is a must-see for anyone looking to experience timeless English countryside beauty.
  3. Bourton-on-the-Water
    1h
    Famed for its low stone bridges crossing the gently flowing River Windrush, Bourton-on-the-Water is often called “the Venice of the Cotswolds.” This lively village combines natural beauty with plenty to see and do. Stroll along the riverbank, browse traditional shops, or relax in one of the charming cafés. With its pretty stone cottages, inviting atmosphere, and picture-perfect scenery, Bourton-on-the-Water is one of the Cotswolds’ most loved destinations.
  4. Stow-on-the-Wold
    1h
    Perched on one of the highest points in the Cotswolds, Stow-on-the-Wold is a charming market town steeped in history. Once famous for its bustling wool trade, today it’s known for its lively market square, antique shops, and inviting tearooms. Highlights include the medieval St. Edward’s Church, with its enchanting door flanked by ancient yew trees, often said to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien. Stow combines history, character, and classic Cotswold charm in one delightful stop.
