A very popular tour featuring the tranquil surroundings of the Cotswold villages amid gently rolling hills and drystone walls can only really be appreciated at your own pace, by private car, where large coaches cannot go.

The hauntingly beautiful stone cottages with climbing roses and wisteria provide the full charm of the English countryside.

Our tour may include: The villages of Broadway, Chipping Camden, Upper and Lower Slaughter, Stow on the Wold, Bourton on Water.

Oxford - the ancient university town with its dreaming spires and secret quadrangles and gardens. A host of famous scholars from John Wesley and Lewis Carroll to Mrs. Thatcher and Mr. Clinton.

Blenheim Palace - the largest privately owned palace in England, the home of the Duke of Marlborough, where Winston Churchill was born. A majestic 18thC building by Sir John Vanbrugh in the English baroque style. We may take a guided tour through the lavish state rooms and gardens. A leisurely pub lunch in Woodstock is recommended.

Stay in your own 15th Century Cotswold Cottage.
