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.

I was unable to go on this tour due to disruption to traffic caused by the notting hill carnival around the hotel I was staying in. This tour was a special highlight of my uk trip so very disappointing to have missed it. This was no fault of the organizers of the tour but rather an unexpected obstacle

Very relaxing tour, with interesting details of the surrounding areas by the guide Manon & a smooth, scenic route driven by the Bus Driver Mike. Would highly recommend.

There is a lot of walking and little time to enjoy the Cotwalds and Downton Abbey Village. The guide was knowledgeable.

Our tour guide, Andy, was fabulous. I loved his commentary and facts about all the places on the tour. Just know that this tour feels rushed at each destination. The scenery was beautiful but most of the day is spent on a coach.

This is a great tour. There was plenty of time at each of the stops. James was a great guide and Patrick did a great job driving the coach.
