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.

4.00It was a good tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I felt that that stops were short and not enough time to explore the Cotswolds and Stow on the Wold. The only criticism I have is that the directions at Victoria Station was not very clear. They indicated to meet at gates 1-5. We get to Victoria Station, one side indicated 0-1 and the other side indicated 2-5. It was confusing. When we figured out which line we need to wait in, the women in front of us told us to get purple wristbands when we check in. That was not on the instructions for Victoria Station. Other than that, it was a good tour.
Comfortable clean coach....

5.00What a wonderful day! My friend and I travelled with Evan Evans Coach Tours to Blenheim Palace where we spent a couple of hours in the palace and the beautiful grounds. We then toured around The Cotswolds stopping at Stow-on-the-Wold for lunch and visiting Burford and Bampton, beautiful market towns, before heading back to Victoria station in London. Our guide was Megan who was just lovely, very friendly and most knowledgeable and informative, not only about the places we visited but also about London itself. Kevin was our wonderful driver for the day - also so friendly and an expert driver, negotiating not only the morning London rush hour traffic but also the narrow and very busy roads and villages in The Cotswolds. This was my first coach trip and based on today’s delightful experience, it won’t be my last! A huge thank you to Megan and Kevin!
Good day to see the Cotswolds
