This is the only regular day tour from London that visits Anne Hathaway’s Cottage and gardens situated on the edge of Stratford in addition to the other Shakespeare attractions in the centre of the town.
In addition this tour winds its way through the stunning Cotswolds, making photo stops at Bibury, 'The most beautiful village in England' and Bourton-on-the-Water, the Venice of the Cotswolds.

Bibury was described as the 'The most beautiful village in England' by William Morris. Bibury is a place many people return to time and time again, for its tranquillity by the river, and old stone cottages and mills.

Bourton-on-the-Water is another delightful village in the Cotswolds with its shops, restaurants and tea rooms.
You will walk down the banks of the River Windrush with its beautiful stone bridges, and next to the Old Mill, where it flows over rapids, past the green with its banks of Cotswold stone.
