The Cotswolds feel like stepping into a landscape painting. Bold greens, lush waterways, and the most charming cottages. And Oxford needs no introduction. The city of students, spires, and magnificent cathedrals is as inspiring as it is fascinating. Join this tour and experience two of England’s most celebrated locations, well deserving of their fame.

Leaving London, you’ll head northwest, passing through the Chiltern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The scenic countryside here has inspired the TV series Midsomer Murders and Vicar of Dibley.

Your first stop is Oxford, where you’ll have time to explore the grounds of the numerous colleges, climb the vantage points to admire the skyline, or view the art and antiquities collections at the Ashmolean Museum.

You’ll stop at Burford, the “Gateway to the Cotswolds.” This is a small market town with plenty of character and depth. The high street is lined with all the quaint houses you’ve always dreamed of owning. Here you’ll have time to soak up the charm and hospitality of the locals, and if you’re feeling peckish, you can sample a traditional English “Afternoon Tea.”

Then it’s on for the short journey to Bibury. This location was described by William Morris as the most beautiful village in England, and Henry Ford wanted to tear it down and ship it to the USA. Here you’ll have time for a stroll to the famous and fairytale-like Arlington Row.

After a full day exploring the city of Oxford and the villages of the Cotswolds, you’ll begin the comfortable return journey to London.

• Oxford University - Admire the stunning, spire-topped skyline of the oldest English-speaking university in the world.
