What To Expect

Warwick Castle

Over a thousand years of history are waiting to be discovered at this fantastic medieval castle. Set against the River Avon within 64 acres of landscaped parkland, this beautiful castle once belonged to the most powerful man in England, The Earl of Warwick. Learn how the 'Kingmaker' was the only man who dared defy the King, and how he defeated the armies of King Edward IV in battle before taking the King himself as a prisoner. Explore the lavishly decorated State Rooms and 17th-century Great Hall; a room boasting an impressive collection of artefacts including suits of armour and medieval weapons. In the castle's 14th-century gaol, the original dungeon, see graffiti left behind by prisoners hundreds of years ago. How many names can you spot?

Our tour guide Saul and our coach driver Gerry were amazing. Answered our questions and were patient with us. they kept the time for the trip respectfully and we did not leave anybody behind. Warwick castle walk was beautiful so was Oxford and the city and house of Shakespeare. Great day outside London
Family loved this tour

We enjoyed this tour because of our wonderful guide. Cotswold is just a drive through. Timing was good.
Really worth the trip!

The trip was on schedule, comfortable, and very informative. Angela was our guide and she did a really great job as a guide! There was no way for us to visit all these places hassle free and with comfort in ten and half hours. Stratford-upon-Avon was a super wonderful small town with history and memories of Shakespeare! Oxford was amazing, however it was a big place to cover in one and half hour. A little handout of the Oxford map with locations and brief descriptions of some key attractions would be great addition!
Bad timing for the stops! Not happy.

Very disappointing the time was given for Warwick castle. It was set as the last stop and the tour arrived 3:30pm letting us only 30 min to rush inside the castle. On our way back I told the guide and he said that he was not aware they close at 4pm which makes me doubt about it since he said he is working on this tours for more than 18 years.
