Description:

Escape the fast pace of central London and spend a day exploring the pastoral landscapes of the Cotswolds on this full-day tour. With a trip to magnificent Blenheim Palace and visits to 2 archetypal villages, this is an idyllic day spent experiencing the English countryside.

As you leave London behind, the grey buildings are replaced with rolling green hills and verdant fields. Drive through sleepy market towns nestled in the Cotswold Hills before arriving at the monumental royal country residence of Blenheim Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Admire the exceptional English Baroque exterior before you embark on a guided tour of its lavish interior. The luxuriant rooms and chambers are a special sight, matched in splendor by the landscaped gardens outside.

Continue to Burford. This charming high street lined with Tudor-era facades is a great place to enjoy lunch or take some free time for souvenir shopping. After, proceed to Bourton-on-the-Water. With the River Windrush babbling through the center of town and its low-slung bridges, it’s easy to see why this township is known as Little Venice. Relax in the town's charming ambiance before your return journey to London.
