The tour starts in Burford, where a short orientation walk introduces the village’s historic high street and charming architecture.

We then continue to Stow-on-the-Wold, a market town full of character. Your guide will point out places of interest before giving you time to enjoy lunch or browse the local cafés and shops.

From Stow, the route includes a gentle stop at Broadway Tower, a hilltop viewpoint offering wide countryside scenery and a chance for fresh air and memorable photos.

The final stop is Bourton-on-the-Water, where a short orientation leads you to the riverside before you enjoy time to wander, sit by the water, or explore small independent stores.

Throughout the day, your guide shares local stories and background while giving plenty of space for independent discovery. With small-group travel, comfortable transport, and a steady pace, this tour offers a pleasant and well-rounded introduction to several Cotswolds villages before returning to Paddington.
