Escape London's crowds for a day trip to the picture-perfect Cotswolds for lunch. You'll visit a region that is forever England, seemingly unchanged by the modern world and famous for its beautiful villages and rolling hills. There will be time to visit quaint villages such as Burford before enjoying a fabulous two-course lunch in a traditional English hotel restaurant.

It was worth the trip but it was a long bus ride. Very, very old cities and buildings plus beautiful scenery. Carol, our guide, was very informative about the history and area.

I highly recommend this trip, it was very well organised. There’s a lot of time in the bus because the villages are far, but it is worth it, the beauty of those places is incredible. About the meal provided with the tour, unfortunately it wasn’t very good. But we had fun and saw beautiful places.

The tour guide called me to tell me they would not wait TWO MINUTES because our bus got delayed. The booking says to arrive at 815 and wait for tour number 12 to be called. It did not say LAST CALL IS AT 815. They refused to give me a refund. I don't know why I had to pay for lunches we didn't eat. I know they didn't have to pay for extra lunches for people who weren't there, so why couldn't they at least give me a partial refund? I also know that the buses aren't full because they tried to book me on another one the following day (my family would no longer be in the country and we could not). There's no reason they couldn't refund my money after they left us behind. We were already pulling up to the station and they wouldn't wait. This is a scam. Absolutely horrible company. Do not book. Terrible customer service. Their booking was not clear. This is a tourist trap. Do not fall for it. Just take a train to the Cotswolds.

This was an excellent all-day outing from Premium Tours, mostly because of the guide, Eugene (and great driver, whose name sadly escapes me) whose wit, energy, knowledge, and skill in shepherding a large group was appreciated.
A blustery day in historic Burford, bucolic Bibury (with a quick nice 2-course lunch at the Swan Hotel) and Stow was a great addition to our London visit.

The oldest pub, the villages, countryside and lunch was nicely presented but the ravioli were way over done and tough. Dessert was fine.

Eugene and our bus driver were top notch! We sailed along through the countryside with some ante dotes regarding the history of the villages we visited.

The locations were very memorable but unfortunately we felt very rushed at each location. I believe the lunch is not necessary as it was just ok and it would give us more time to explore and shop in each location. The driver Joan and the tour director Eugene were excellent.

This trip was absolutely worth the money. I could have spent days in each town, but since we were staying in London for less than a week, this was a great way to experience some of Cotswolds best. Zach was a great driver, and Zozo was a wealth of knowledge. Even while leaving London and in between each town, he had history, interesting stories, and funny jokes for all of it. I truly appreciated the journey. (Side note: Don't get left behind. Plan extra time to get to the bus.)

Our guide was uninformative. This excursion was way too long and we had no idea why we were there. The destinations were not interesting and the lunch was really lame.
