Day 01
Bristol

Bristol - Cotswold - Stratford-upon-Avon

Hotel: B&B (Bed & Breakfast) or similar

Meal: B：Excluded L：Excluded D：Excluded

Departing Bristol, your journey begins with a scenic drive through what is considered the birthplace of British tourism and the birthplace of the industrial revolution. We're talking about Wye Valley, of course, which is dubbed an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

You'll love the views of this region as we head towards Tintern Abbey on the banks of River Wye. There's some fascinating history behind this now-roofless national icon which was founded in 1131. Afterwards you make your way to the market town of Ross-on-Wye where you have free time to explore and grab a bite to eat.

Then it's time to head to Broadway. No, we're not talking about seeing a stage production, we're talking about the picturesque village in the Cotswolds. This is a great time for a spot of shopping, or simply wander and enjoy the town before heading to Stratford-upon-Avon, your base for the night. You arrive in the birthplace of Shakespeare in the mid-afternoon so there's still some time to explore and sort yourself out for dinner.

You're spoilt for choice in Stratford-upon-Avon. Perhaps you'll explore the Schoolroom and Guildhall, where Shakespeare was first inspired by literature and theatre. Or perhaps you'll visit his childhood home and hear tales of his family life.

Day 02
Bourton-on-the-Water

Bourton-on-the-Water - Oxford - Bristol

Meal: B：Excluded L：Excluded D：Excluded

You'll feel as if you've stepped into a movie today. Your first destination is considered one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the UK. Wander around the picturesque village of Chipping Campden before heading to Bourton-on-the-Water. Quite a literal name, as this village boasts the beautiful River Windrush running through it, and is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds.

* If your tour leaves after 1st April 2025, you will visit Blenheim Palace instead.

You continue onto Oxford, your main stop for the day. Famously known for its university, the city of Oxford has an interesting history and plenty of things to do and see. You can learn about some of it at the Ashmolean Museum, Britain's oldest public museum. If museums aren't your thing, there's always Oxford Castle & Prison, a tour of some of the colleges around town, and even several Harry Potter locations to spot.

Enjoy a relaxing drive back through some of England's Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the perfect way to end your day as you head to Bristol where your tour ends in the early evening.

Special Notes

    • We regret we don't carry children under the age of 5 years old on our scheduled tours.
    • If your child is less that 1.35m tall, please let us know and we will provide a suitable booster seat.
    • Children under 18 need to be accompanied by an adult.
    • Luggage: You're restricted to 14kg (31lbs) of luggage per person. This should be one piece of luggage similar to an airline carry-on bag (approximately 55cm x 45cm x 25cm / 22in x 17in x 10in) plus one small bag for onboard personal items.
    • We accept bookings for up to 8 passengers from any one party. This is to retain the integrity of the tour and ensure that all of our customers have the best possible experience, without being overwhelmed by one larger dominant group.
    • Pack your waterproof clothing and walking shoes.
    • We may be unable to provide named accommodation at the time of booking, however this should be available 72 hours prior to departure. Please contact us at this point for the names of the accommodation related to your booking.
    • FAQs:
      Do you offer hotel pickups in the departure cities?
      - The UK and Ireland's historic city centres are full of narrow streets and winding roads. So, to speed up your departure, we only pick up from our central meeting points. What's more is leaving the city using the most direct route also reduces the carbon footprint of our tours.
      Is there parking close to the departure point?
      - We don't recommend bringing your car into the centre of our departure cities. It can be hard to find parking, and there are excellent public transportation services.
      When should I get to the departure point?
      - Arrive 15 minutes before your departure time. Due to waiting restrictions, we can't wait for you if you're late.
      What happens if I'm late or miss the tour?
      - If you're late for your tour, our cancellation policy applies. 100% charges are applicable, and you will not be entitled to a refund or alternative.
      Can Itineraries change?
      - Your tour will always follow the itinerary as closely as possible. Your driver-guide will keep you up to date on the road, and we'll try to get in touch about any large changes prior to your departure.
      Can I pre-book a specific seat?
      - Due to logistical reasons, we're unable to let you pre-book a seat on the bus. But our comfortable 16-seat mini-coaches have huge windows. So, you'll always get a good view.
      Are there toilets on the bus?
      - Unfortunately, we have no on-board toilet facilities, but you'll have regular comfort breaks.
      How do you cater for people with accessibility needs?
      - We aim to accommodate everyone.
      How much time do I get off the bus?
      - We want you to enjoy Britain and Ireland. And we believe the best way to do this is to get you off the mini-coach and out exploring. So, we give you plenty of time to take photos, go walking, and explore ancient ruins.
      Why do you exclude visitor attractions?
      - We exclude visitor attractions in your tour price because it lets you travel your way. It means you can pamper yourself with a luxury lunch or skip an attraction whenever you feel like it.
      Do we need to bring our own lunch?
      - You don't need to. We stop in small towns, villages, and rural eateries where you can choose whatever meal pleases both your taste buds and your budget.
      Should I tip the driver-guide?
      - Let's be honest, our driver-guides would never refuse a cheeky bonus. But it's up to you, and the amount is entirely at your discretion.
      What about travel insurance?
      - We advise you take out travel insurance.
      What is ABTOT?
      - You're protected by ABTOT when you chose to let us reserve your accommodation on a multi-day tour. This means you can claim back anything you've paid us if we become bankrupt.
  • The time we mentioned in the itinerary is for reference only. Please refer to your guide on tour for the actual arrangement. The visiting order and duration might be changed according to actual and practical situation for better service.
