Possible add-on in London: Our trip ends after breakfast on Day 10, with a transfer to Heathrow Airport. If you're interested, we could add on 1 or 2 nights in London, price TBD depending on which hotel we choose. In this case, we'd leave the Cotswolds after breakfast on Day 10 and arrive in London in time for lunch, giving us a day and a half to see some of our favorite places-or some new places. If you'd like to do this, please let us know if you have a favorite hotel or London location. Otherwise, we will make some recommendations for hotels and restaurants.
