Board your coach in Stratford-on-Avon or Moreton-in-March, and head west to the Cotswolds, an area known for its quaint English appeal. Along the way, you’ll listen to commentary from your driver-guide, hearing the itinerary for the day and the background to the region.
After stopping at the viewpoint of Dover’s Hill, you’ll arrive in the Cotswold town of Chipping Camden to enjoy roughly an hour of free time to explore with a courtesy map. Continue past Broadway Tower on Beacon Hill, spend time in a “surprise” village that’s off the main tourist track, and then stop in Stow-on-the-Wold for lunch (own expense).
In the afternoon, the tour continues to Bibury—aka England’s prettiest village—for a stroll past the quaint weavers houses at Arlington Row, before a final stop in the postcard-perfect town of Bourton-on-the-Water.
The day trip ends with drop-offs first in Moreton-in-March, and then in central Stratford-on-Avon.

Our driver, Steve, was the most knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide we could have asked for! His enthusiasm for all the towns, rivers, animals, and people we met along our route was infectious and everyone on our tour thoroughly enjoyed his fun and humorous delivery. I would definitely take this tour again and recommend it to anyone who wants to see the most picturesque, quaint, and adorable English towns. Having Steve drive us around all day made it so easy to see so many places and learn about the history and people of the area. What a lovely way to see the Cotswolds!

Magical! First would like to say Colin was amazing, knowledgable and accommodating to the guests. Because of train delays, he rearranged the itinerary so could pick up other guests. The tour captured the Cotswold charm and history.
