Blenheim Palace, Downton Abbey Village & the Cotswolds

Your leisurely day of sightseeing will begin when you're collected from your hotel by a luxury coach and transported to the rolling countryside towards your first stop at Blenheim Palace. Once arrived, you’ll discover the history of this palatial home to the dukes of Malborough as you wander inside one of the best examples of English Baroque architecture. Relax back onboard your coach as you begin a scenic drive through the Cotswolds to visit some of England's most picturesque towns. Fall in love with the whimsical gardens and ivy covered cottages in Bibury before taking a tour of Bourton-on-the-Water, often described as England's “Little Venice.” End your tour with a stroll around the village of Bampton, where you'll recognize many of the locations from the television drama, Downton Abbey.
