Tour di un'intera giornata dei villaggi delle Cotswolds per piccoli gruppi da Oxford
Partenza dal Centro Informazioni per visitatori di Broad Street, Oxford, alle 10:00; potrete iniziare la giornata visitando l'affascinante villaggio di Great Tew. Da Great Tew continuate verso Stow-on-the-Wold, la più alta città nei Cotswolds. Qui avrete il tempo per curiosare tra gli edifici color miele e gli accoglienti pub, le strade strette, interessanti negozi e piccole sale da tè. La tappa successiva è il pittoresco villaggio di Lower Slaughter, uno dei villaggi più belli nella zona settentrionale del Cotswolds con delle campagne meravigliose.
La tappa successiva è probabilmente la più famosa delle località delle Cotswolds e periodicamente votato come uno villaggi più belli dell'Inghilterra, ossia Bourton-on-the-Water. Conosciuta come la Venezia del Cotswolds c'è molto da vedere e da fare con la sua ricchezza di attrazioni turistiche, negozi, ristoranti e sale da tè.
Da Bourton-on-the-Water il percorso vi porterà attraverso diversi incantevoli villaggi delle Cotswold fino a Burford, conosciuta come la Porta delle Cotswolds. A Burford, gusterete il pranzo (non incluso) in un famoso pub, dove potrete assaggiare una birra tradizionale sotto il sole.
Dopo pranzo, trascorrerete il pomeriggio viaggiando lungo la splendida valle Windrush, visitando nascosti villaggi tra cui Swinbrook, Asthall; il momento culminante del tour è rappresentato dal bellissimo villaggio con le sue antiche rovine di Minster Lovell. Questa graziosa cittadina sul fiume Windrush vanta delle abitazioni con pietre e tetti in paglia delle colline Cotswold e detiene il titolo di regione stregata. Minster Lovell è forse meglio conosciuta per le rovine del XV secolo, di proprietà della famiglia Lovell.
Nel tardo pomeriggio potrete ritornare al Centro Informazioni per visitatori di Broad Street, Oxford, alle 17:00.

Wonderful tour and I highly recommend. Small group is ideal and our guide Graham did an amazing job of taking time to get out and walk whilst telling us background story of the region and answering questions.
Had a great time with our guide, Ian. He showed us both popular and lesser known villages, so it was a great mix. He was very kind and knowledgable and it was a great day trip from Oxford.
Ian of Undiscovered Cotswolds was Terrific..doesnt get any better..Sweet, smart, knowledgeable with terrific sense of humor. Highly recommend
Ian was a great guide - we were in a small group of eight ( in a small van) So he was able to take us to small out of the way charming villages, showing us how the people lived in thatched roof cottages, then driving through charming countryside before we got out for a walk around other beautiful and charming villlages. He was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and somtimes funny and a great driver through all the small out of the way roads, , giving everyone enough time for a walk, a drink and showing us where the best photo spots were. I would highly recommend this tour company .
If you have the opportunity to take this tour DO IT! It is so worth it. The villages you see are all so beautiful and unique and the guide Ian could not be more welcoming and friendly. He really goes above and beyond to make this an amazing experience and has a great way of telling the stories behind each place you visit.
It was very good! Everything as I have read from the review, particularly on the part that Ian, the guide, was from one of the villages and therefore he knows the place really well. As promised in the itinerary, Ian brought us to the lesser known villages, away from the bustle and hustle of the more popular villages. He did bring us to 1 village which was full of tourists, just so we can compare and contrast. Very relaxing walking tour around the villages, suitable for the young and the old! Btw, I had expected a much older guy...due to all the reviews read about him, his experiences, etc. But Ian turned out to be a young, energetic chap!
This tour was everything I hoped it would be and more. There were only four of us traveling in a mini van and we were able to go to small villages that our tour guide, Ian, explained would not be accessible if we took one of the big bus tours from London. Ian was incredible. He explained everything we saw and took us to a ruined manor house as an extra bonus. He lives in the Cotswolds so is a local who really knows the area. He seemed to really enjoy showing us around and even stayed to eat lunch with us in a local pub. He was the perfect tour guide and made us all feel special. I would highly recommend this small, intimate tour if you really want to experience this beautiful part of England and see some authentic, unspoiled villages.
Ian and his company are first rate. We saw so many awesome sights in the Cotswolds from a very comfortable van and on foot. You will love this tour.
