Was a good look at the English countryside and some heritage towns. Warwick Castle and Statford gave us a hands on look at British history.

Review by: William S	August 2011
The tour director was very nice, and knowledgeable. The castle was interesting, I enjoyed seeing the dungeon, the living quarters were furnished and included wax historical people. Oxford is a nice city and the University is awesome to see. Stratford is also a very nice city and the hone of Shakespeare is very interesting. The Cotswolds portion is limited to viewing a few homes on the route to Oxford, and there was no way to take photos.

Great trip, well worth the price.

Review by: Ewelina J	November 2010
It was really great, I fancied every minute of it. I liked our guide! The only thing, we had such a good time that we actually we didn't have enough time to enjoy our trip completely, especially the Oxford part.

Review by: James M	October 2010
You should be ashamed of yourselves on this one-- the tour guide was rude and fussy....treated us all like 2nd graders, and bit the heads of more than one tourist for misunderstanding him (none were native English speakers.) Warwick Castle is a travesty-- a caveat that it is an amusement park was the least you should have done. Stratford-upon-Avon was an overpriced joke...Oxford was the highlight, but we had no time there at all. Btw, both of your tours that we took left us off in completely different places than we were picked up at with no warning-- I'm an independent traveler so I just took the Tube, but many less intrepid souls were terrified not to mention shocked. Ill conceived and poorly executed.

Enjoyable day. Strafford was charming. Guide needed to do more explaining of the areas we were passing-she was silent or speaking to the driver 80% of the time.

Review by: Randall L	September 2010
The trip, guide and driver were great in spite of the rain at Warwick we enjoyed ourselves immensely!

Review by: Donald E	August 2010
The company made us feel as though we had to buy the entrance tickets or we couldn't go at first. When we finally established that we could go, our family of 4 had to sit separately on the bus for the day. They shouldn't have advertised the trip like they did because it made us feel like we weren't wanted.

Review by: Mark K	July 2010
We were supposed to do a custom day trip where we were supposed to have to have the option of having a leisurely walk or doing the venues but we were forced to buy entrance into the venues before the tour or we would have to sit on the bus so it cost about 100 extra pounds. Warwick Castle was well worth it but Oxford was a snoozefest; would have preferred a pint at The Eagle and Child. And the Shakespeare birthplace while being a 700 year old tourist trap was still just that. We enjoyed an awesome high tea at a tea room just outside.The guide was very good. It was a very long day and the views of the Cotswolds are not especially noteworthy.

Of all the trips out of London, I think this is the best choice. Warwick Castle is well-worth visiting and they have live hosts and well-done wax figures throughout the living areas to give some life to the rooms. There also are demonstrations in the yards. We had an excellent tour of Oxford with our knowledgeable guide. Visiting Shakespeare's home is not worth the cost, but Stratford-upon-Avon is a great place for lunch.

The tour was excellent. The tour guide was very nice and helped us appreciate the value of all places we visited. The itinerary is well planned and beautiful.

Great overview of the area.

Review by: John S, United States of America	March 2010
It was very informative. The guide was very well versed in the places we saw. I do think he should find an alternative coffe shop in Oxford. You cannot turn around in it and the covered market near the Camera has plenty of roomy places and very comfortable. Stratford Upon Avon was tremendous!
