What To Expect
Blenheim Palace
Blenheim Palace This awe-inspiring stately home, the current private residence of the 11th Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, is perhaps best-known as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill. Admire the stunning details behind the portraits, tapestry and furniture in the lavishly decorated State Rooms, which includes ornate furniture by Boulle, Savonniere carpet and the iconic 'Victories' series of tapestries celebrating the Duke's victory over the French armies of 'The Sun King', Louis XIV, at the Battle of Blenheim. Enjoy a stroll through the beautifully landscaped formal gardens designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and more than 2,000 acres of parkland, or walk in the footsteps of Sir Winston Churchill. Visit his most cherished outdoor places on the grounds of Blenheim Palace, including the spot where he proposed to Clementine Hozier.

5.00My wife and I had a wonderful time on the Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace day trip— one of the highlights of our visit to England. The scenery was stunning, from the grandeur of Blenheim Palace to the charming villages of the Cotswolds. A special thank you to Kevin, our guide, who was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the day fun with his storytelling, and to Michael, our driver, who kept everything smooth, safe, and on schedule. The tour was well organized and perfectly paced. Highly recommend!
It was awesome. Kevin our tour guide was amazing and Michael kept us save. It was great.
