Your trip at a glance
Plan a comfortable circuit of stone villages, choosing a few stops with time to explore. Allow approximately 10 hours from the agreed London pickup to return, including driving, visits and breaks. The itinerary below is a suggested plan, not a reserved schedule. Traffic, opening hours and your walking pace can change the balance of stops. Your chauffeur handles transport while you explore independently.
Your itinerary
Burford
Stroll along the sloping High Street, browsing stone-fronted shops and taking photographs. Choose a shorter walk if hills are difficult.
Planned visit: approximately 50 minutes
Official visitor informationBibury
Enjoy village and riverside views with a short walk near Arlington Row. These are lived-in streets: keep entrances clear and stay on public paths. Parking restrictions can mean a walk from the drop-off.
Planned visit: approximately 45 minutes
Official visitor informationBourton-on-the-Water & lunch
Explore the low bridges beside the River Windrush and leave time for lunch. Paid attractions are optional; adding one replaces some village time rather than extending the day automatically.
Planned visit: approximately 105 minutes
Official visitor informationVisit timings are a plan; entry slots and road conditions are considered when confirming your itinerary.

Your vehicle and chauffeur
Executive Saloon: suited to couples or a small party travelling light; Mercedes E-Class or EQE are examples. Executive Van: suited to families, groups and additional luggage; Mercedes V-Class or Vito are examples. The actual model, seats and luggage fit are confirmed for your booking. Tell us the number and sizes of bags, any pushchair, child-seat needs or mobility equipment. A seat count alone does not confirm luggage space.

Your chauffeur handles driving, meeting points and agreed transport; general local knowledge varies. You explore attractions independently.

Cancellation
Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled pickup for a full refund. Less than 24 hours before pickup or failure to attend is non-refundable. UK local time applies. Separately purchased tickets follow the attraction’s terms.

Questions about your journey
How much walking is involved?
Read each stop for the expected visit and walking. Tell us about mobility needs before booking so we can assess drop-off points, distances and attraction access; the chauffeur does not accompany you as a walking guide.
Are these times guaranteed?
Allow approximately 10 hours from the agreed London pickup to return, including driving, visits and breaks. Stop lengths are our planning suggestions, not attraction recommendations or guaranteed driving times. We confirm the route and any extra-time charges before payment.
Is a tour guide included?
No. Your chauffeur handles private transport and may share general local knowledge, which varies by driver. You explore attractions independently.
Are attraction tickets included?
No, unless explicitly stated in your agreed quote. Check availability and coordinate admission with us before purchasing tickets.
Can I choose different stops?
Send your ideas before booking. We review the route and confirm any revised itinerary, availability and price.
How do I choose a vehicle?
Tell us your travellers, luggage sizes, children and any mobility needs. We confirm a suitable vehicle and arrangements.
Where does my journey finish?
The final destination is agreed before booking. A hotel return, airport drop-off or cruise-terminal destination can require different timings and prices.
