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?
Stratford-upon-Avon
This picturesque market town is most famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare, widely regarded to be the greatest writer in English literature and the world's preeminent dramatist.

5.00A lovely way to see some of the less popular tourist sites a short drive from London. Phil and Marlon were brilliant as our guides. I learnt so much.
In a nutshell the guide filled in the images in a way that allows the foreigner to understand the true essence

5.00Robert is our Tourguide and Billy our coach driver were very efficient with time and details. Robert was very intellectual and has so much information to share with all the destinations we’ve been. Everything was right on time. We enjoyed all the places specially the William Shakespeare Birth place in a very lovely romantic town of Stratford-upon-Avon. The tour was really worth your time/day. Will highly recommend this tour to everyone.

5.00Cameron and Mentor were wonderful! We had a beautiful day full of great information delivered in a fun way. Not saying that having a classically trained actor showing you where Shakespeare was born is a mistake but it couldn’t hurt.
