Escape the city and discover two of England's most iconic destinations on this full-day coach tour from London.

This tour offers the perfect combination of history, culture, architecture, and countryside scenery.
Explore the Historic City of Bath
Your first destination is the beautiful city of Bath, one of Britain's most celebrated historic cities. Renowned for its striking Georgian architecture and natural thermal springs, Bath has attracted visitors for nearly two thousand years.
Enjoy free time to wander through its elegant streets lined with honey-coloured Bath stone buildings, browse independent boutiques, or relax in one of the city's inviting cafés. During your visit, you'll have the opportunity to admire many of Bath's most famous landmarks, including:
- The magnificent Bath Abbey, a stunning example of Gothic architecture dating back to the 15th century.
- The elegant Pulteney Bridge, one of only a handful of historic bridges in the world lined with shops across its full span.
- The charming streets and Georgian squares that inspired writers, artists, and filmmakers.
Visit the Ancient Roman Baths
Included in your tour is entry to the world-famous Roman Baths, one of the best-preserved Roman sites in Europe.
Built around Britain's only natural hot springs nearly 2,000 years ago, the Roman Baths were once a place where Romans gathered to bathe, socialise, and relax. Walk through the remarkably preserved bathing complex, view the steaming Great Bath, discover fascinating Roman artefacts, and learn about the history of Roman Britain through interactive exhibits.
You'll also visit the historic Pump Room, where you can sample the naturally warm mineral-rich spa water that has drawn visitors to Bath for centuries and is traditionally believed to possess healing qualities.
Discover the Beauty of the Cotswolds
Leaving Bath behind, your journey continues into the breathtaking Cotswolds, one of England's most picturesque regions. Famous for its gently rolling hills, dry-stone walls, peaceful countryside, and charming villages built from distinctive honey-coloured limestone, the Cotswolds offers a glimpse into traditional rural England.
Visit Bourton-on-the-Water
Your stop is the enchanting village of Bourton-on-the-Water, affectionately known as the "Venice of the Cotswolds." The River Windrush gently flows through the centre of the village, crossed by elegant low stone bridges that create one of the region's most photographed scenes.
Enjoy time to explore at your own pace:
