Quick all in one tour. The time in Oxford goes super fast. You have tops 2 hrs total there. The stop in Bampton is really quite boring and you have to buy your picnic lunch in Oxford to eat there because there’s nowhere to buy there and then you have to eat at a random bench. Highclere castle is great. They have an Egyptian collection that you can see for an extra ticket if you’re interested. The tour guide and driver were good.

It is a lot of time on the bus, but you get the full Downton Abbey experience, and we very much enjoyed our time in Oxford.

Great tour. We couldn't find any tickets by ourselves - everything was sold out in two-three month, but with this tour we could not only visit the Abbey, but to see Oxford (with some free time there). + Very active guide who made the quoted from the film (but even not for fans would be clear). Would definitely recommend 🤠
