Tour Itinerary:

International Friends run this popular weekend tour departing every Saturday from Central London at 08:30, returning early Sunday evening around 18:00.

Your transport for this tour is in a spacious luxury 16 seat minibus with large windows and the ability to travel down some the narrow lanes which are not normally used by large coaches. This means that you will venture off the beaten track to see and enjoy some of the area's most beautiful places.


Accommodation for this tour is based on staying at North Bristol Express By Holiday Inn on a bed and breakfast basis.

Day 1 - Saturday

After an early start we drive in a westerly direction, calling in at Oxford for a guided tour of the city.

Next we travel a short distance to discover one of England's most beautiful regions – the Cotswolds. The Cotswolds are full of colour all year round! Here you will find rolling hills and pretty villages and market towns full of character.

Our journey this morning takes us to the historic market town of Stow-on-the-Wold and the quaint village of Bourton-on-the-Water. In the early afternoon, we drive along one of the most charming narrow back-road routes in the Cotswolds, where large coaches are not allowed to visit in what has been described as England's most beautiful village - Bibury. This is in the heart of the Cotswolds and what we might consider to be the real England with its old country pubs, traditional village stores and well kept gardens.

Day 2 - Sunday

Today we visit Bath where we take a guided tour of the city centre.

At the end of the walking tour of the city, we include your entrance into the Roman Baths. Bath, which is one of England's most popular tourist attractions.

Guided Waling Tour Bath

Bath is the most complete and best preserved Georgian city in Britain. The spa was used by the Romans, and the remains of the Roman baths are still there to be seen today, beside the 18th century Pump Room.

After Bath, we travel to Lacock, a small 13th century village which remains mostly untouched by modern development.


Next we go to see another world famous site – Stonehenge.

The construction of Stonehenge started around 3,000BC and the site was built over a 1500 year period. Your entrance fee to Stonehenge is included in the price.

We then return to London.
