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.

5.00It’s a long day but very worthwhile with three excellent visits. Our guide, Sandra was personable, humorous and very knowledgable but didn’t overload with obscure détail. Our driver was also excellent and the coach very comfortable. .

4.00Geoffrey is an excellent guide. Your gave you plenty of time to explore on your own and he gave you clear directions and lots of information. My huge disappointment was that Evan Evan’s did not provide over the ear headphones bc I have to use my hearing aides. I have been on many tours and this is my first time that over the ear headphones were not available.
Much Correria

3.00The tour is all too rushed. We started the tour at Warwick Castle which is a trap for tourists and an attraction more for children. In Stratford we had to make a quick visit to Shakespeare's house to have time to have lunch and buy some souvenir. Oxford was also quick, we only visited one street and didn't even pass by bus to other attractions. You should leave Warwick on a separate, more children’s tour and devote more time to Stratford and Oxford and give a parade at Costwolds. The guide was dedicated, but, did not pass much information
I enjoyed this tour...

5.00I enjoyed this tour immensely, especially the visit to Shakespeare's home and charming town. Our guide, Saul, was informative and pleasant. He not only provided us with plenty of information about the places we visited, but also of the places we passed along the way. We were also given enough time to go around and enjoy the places on our own.
