What a fun day. First of all, thank you to Amanda for being so lovely and fun, this trio would not be with the same without her!The trip itself was spectacular as well. I have done so much research trying to find the best trip which includes the Cotswolds, Anne Hathaway’s house, Shakespeare’s home and grammar school. Every single one of the five stops were terrific and it would be nearly impossible to organize ourselves from London . We are so thankful this tour gave us the opportunity to see these beautiful sites. Thank you!

Itinerary

See some of the most beautiful spots in the UK on this excellent tour of Shakespeare’s birthplace Stratford-upon-Avon and an official Area of Outstanding Beauty, the Cotswolds. An expert guide leads the way, regaling you with stories and interesting facts about the rich history of these beautiful places.

Stratford-upon-Avon
The home town of legendary playwright William Shakespeare is the first stop on this day trip. Filled with history, pay a visit to the place the famous Bard was born - a quaint, unassuming half-timbered house. Learn amazing stories and quirks of Elizabethan living from your expert guide.

Next stop is a visit to Shakespeare’s bride Anne Hathaway’s cottage and gardens. This beautiful little thatched farmhouse is the place where the Bard courted his bride and still to this day holds items or original furniture, including the Hathaway bed.

The Cotswolds
Visit what is often agreed to be one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of the UK. Quaint villages and breathtaking scenery, the Cotswolds looks like it jumped off the pages of a storybook. The tour makes photo stops at two stunning Cotswold villages: Bourton-on-the-Water, also known as ‘Little Venice’ due to its low bridges and stone banks and Bibury, a town once described by William Morris as ‘the most beautiful village in England.

After a wonderful day of sightseeing, arrive back to London at the approximate time of 7.30pm.
