What travelers are saying
Perhaps we were trying to do too much in one day, but this tour felt rushed. While it was nice to have a bilingual tour guide, it was often difficult to understand him, and the large group also made it difficult. He was quite knowledgeable, however. Since the guide couldn’t enter Warwick Castle with us, that was also a bit confusing as to where to go once we were inside. And at Stratford, he also couldn’t enter Shakespeare’s home, so we were on our own. In hindsight, I’d drop Stratford from the trip…maybe even Oxford.
A well organized tour with great information! Gordon was an excellent driver and Patricia was a fabulous guide!
Our group Loved Warwick Castle, Stratford was nice as well. We were all not very impressed with the tour guide.
Excellent tour guide and tour, would have liked to have seen more of the Cotswolds but wasn't enough time.
Our guide, Emily was fantastic! Her commentary was delightful and informative. While being informative, she was very animated and knew how to make the subject matter capture the audience. Our driver, Michaelangelo, was personable and friendly and an excellent driver! It was a lovely day filled with interesting sights and anecdotes. The boarding was organized and orderly as Emily knew what she was doing.
