Itinerary

Escape the bustle of London on a full-day sightseeing tour to see some of England's most glorious sights and countryside. Travel in a 16-seat Mercedes mini-coach, and enjoy an intimate, personalized experience as you visit Oxford, Stratford, and Cotswolds villages. Head out of the city on a route that shows you some of off-the-beaten-path London, and your guide will provide full commentary along the way. Then travel into the countryside, heading north-west to picturesque Stratford-upon-Avon. Before you arrive in Stratford, hear about the town’s history and its most famous resident, William Shakespeare. On arrival you’ll have the option of visiting Shakespeare’s birthplace if you wish, or you can explore the town on your own. Enjoy lunch in Stratford, and then take a guided walk through the town that includes a stop at the unusual church where Shakespeare is buried. Leaving Stratford the tour heads south to Oxford, passing through the stunning landscape of The Cotswolds. See some of the loveliest villages that the country has to offer. Narrow country lanes wind their way through classically English villages with clusters of thatched cottages. When you arrive at the world-renowned university city of Oxford, your guide will lead you on a walking tour to take in the city’s stunning architecture. See Oxford University’s colleges, some dating back 900 years. Explore gardens, alleys, pubs, and other hidden delights this city has to offer, as you hear about its history. After the walking tour, you’ll have plenty of time to explore further at your own pace, armed with a map provided by your guide. Afterwards the coach will head back to London, arriving at around 08:00 PM.

Timings were very good. Knowledge of guide (John) was excellent. Not the most social group maybe as we were let loose to do our own thing at stops but wasn't that important as we saw what we wanted.

Though it was a very rainy day during the trip to Stratford, Cotswolds and Oxford, our driver and tour guide, John, a historian and a London College graduate, did an extraordinary job of brightening t (Read More)he day with outstanding historical accounts of the sites visited, adding of course lots of wit and humour in the process. We loved the lovely sites, tour organization and timing at the destinations. The English Bus Company maybe small but it makes a famtastic impact on the enjoyment of visiting England. A highly recommended MUST experience and will certainly use them again on our next visit. Thank you John and The English Bus!!

Each stop was very quick but it was just enough time for us to see everything we really wanted to see. Highly recommend if you want to see a lot of the country in a short amount of time!
