Itinerary
Arrive in London | A free day before the Cotswolds
Travel to London independently and check in at the confirmed 3-star Zone 1 hotel. The opening day belongs to the city, with no organised sightseeing included and no timetable beyond the hotel's arrival arrangements. Explore a neighbourhood that interests you, enjoy dinner at leisure or simply rest before exchanging London's pace for Cotswolds lanes, market towns and stone-built villages on Day 2. Overnight in London.
Cotswolds villages | Burford, Bourton-on-the-Water & Stow-on-the-Wold
After breakfast, report to the confirmed central London departure point and travel into the Cotswolds. Explore Burford and its historic streets before continuing to Bourton-on-the-Water, where the river, low bridges and stone buildings create one of the region's most recognisable village settings. Enjoy the included lunch and visit the Model Village as confirmed in the booking, then continue to Stow-on-the-Wold for time in the historic market town. Return to London in the evening. The precise order and timings can change with local and traffic conditions. Overnight in London.
London after the villages | A slow departure morning
Breakfast brings you back to a leisurely London morning after the previous day's village route. Spend the remaining time on a short independent stroll, a relaxed coffee or any final shopping that fits comfortably before departure. Check out when required by the confirmed hotel; reception may hold luggage if facilities and space permit. Continue independently to the airport, station or your next destination unless a separate transfer forms part of the booking.
