5.00Michael our guide was the best. What a great voice. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about our tour but music, movies and TV. Our driver Tony was also great and very personable. The trip there and back was on a very comfortable coach. The stop in Bampton on the way was not only great from the movie perspective, but a great glimpse of everyday life in a small country village. Highclere Castle and grounds were amazing. Our lunch was delicious and we were blessed with a lovely cool sunny day. This was my brother’s DREAM trip and he is now very happy. Many thanks to BritMovieTours for an exceptional trip.
Great tour for Downton fans

5.00Tour was great Ava and Michael were fabulous and loved the stops especially beautiful Highclere castle One criticism is we almost missed the tour as all the maps apps directed us to not quite the right meeting point. Please be more accurate with exact place to meet and perhaps a photo would help
A very nice trip
