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.

    Tour was very easy to find at the station and organized from the start. Phil our guide and Clive our driver were ABSOLUTELY top notch! They made the experience! We totally enjoyed the entire day. Recommendations for places to eat in the Cotswolds were on point. Time allowed at the various places was good. We loved our afternoon tea. The bus was comfortable and modern and had charging ports and cup holders at each seat. I would not have known about this tour company had I not used Viator.

  • Just okay... wouldn't recommend this tour unless you goal is to hit as many things as possible in a day

    If I were to book another day trip, I think it’s best to limit the tour to only two stops. Both Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds were lovely, but both experiences felt very rushed. You really have to prioritize your time. For instance at lunchtime, we ended up grabbing some pasties from a local shop because we wanted more time to explore the Cotswolds. Unfortunately, it was a very unsatisfactory meal and not very filling. The Downton Abbey Village stop was tiny, and we spent too much time there considering there wasn’t much to do. Overall, you spend more time on the bus than actually exploring. I wouldn’t do this tour again. It was an exhausting day with very little payoff.

    A really nice tour - a bit whistlestop due to timings, but to be honest as a solo traveller I had the perfect amount of time in each location. The Downton Abbey part was really interesting even as someone who doesn’t watch the show and it was nice to be given our own little audio guides with interesting facts. Our tour guide Simon came ready with loads of info - I really enjoyed the bit at the start when we were still driving out of London and he told us about the escalators in Harrods and the meaning behind the name Knightsbridge. The only thing I found a bit strange was in the first village, I asked whether it would be a good time to get lunch, since there’s no official lunch stop, thinking I could go into a tearoom or country pub, and Simon suggested going to Londis and getting a meal deal 😂😂 Made me laugh at least - in the end I had a cheese toastie in a cafe! And the jousting at Blenheim Palace was a super fun treat. The tour did seem to be aimed at people visiting from abroad and my coach was mainly people not from the UK, so we were all told to have a nice rest of our holiday afterwards which I found strange seeing as though I was heading back to my flat in Canary Wharf! Just feels random to assume.

    The tour was so excellent. We have arrived late for another tour and then they supported us to go on this tour without any additional charge. We were so grateful that we have been on a even better itinerary than the one we booked. The lady tour guide Megan is so attentive and supportive to every guest if they have any questions or need support. Then at the end of the tour, when we decided that we would drop in Oxford in the middle of the bus, Megan has research the best route for us and they dropped us at the place that need a bus stop so that we can take the public bus to the city city. We have been so grateful for that. This was so excellent service. Highly recommend this to everyone.

    Megan was the best guide I ever had. She knew all aspects of the history, construction and people of Blenheim. Her many insights into the Cotswolds made the tour a first class experience.

    I really liked it and both the Megan guide and who drove the bus, very professional. Megan always very much requests and willing to give us any kind of explanation we needed. Perhaps, I would have to make a review, I hired that tour well in advance and a week I was canceled, according to what I was told due to lack of people. Which is why I had to change other plans because I didn't want to lose that tour. They should clarify that just as the customer can cancel free of charge, so can the company.
