Tour Overview

Our adventure begins at Bullied Way, Victoria, where we'll depart promptly at 8:30 am, setting our course towards Stratford-upon-Avon.

Upon reaching this historic town, renowned for its association with William Shakespeare, we’ll explore the very house where the famous playwright was born. As we take in the sights of this unassuming dwelling, our guide will share captivating anecdotes about the Elizabethan period.

Next, we'll visit the enchanting Cottage of Anne Hathaway, the childhood residence of Shakespeare's wife. Nestled within charming gardens adorned with flowers, this picturesque thatched cottage preserves original furnishings that add to its allure!

After immersing ourselves in the wonders of Shakespeare's Stratford, we will continue to the Cotswolds, an area celebrated for its breathtaking natural landscapes. Its rolling hills, verdant fields, and delightful villages position it as one of the UK's most beautiful regions.

We'll pause at various spots for photography and leisurely strolls in Bourton-on-the-Water, a town known for its quaint low bridges and tranquil stone-lined waterways, affectionately termed "Little Venice". This scenic location is sure to capture your heart!

As our incredible day of exploration draws to a close, we'll head back to London, where you will be dropped off just a short walk from Gloucester Road Underground Station around 7:30 pm.
