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.

4.00Time is limited. Would recommend not doing too many places in one day. Three places would be the maximum.
One of the best tours I’ve ever taken!

5.00I’ve done numerous trips with Viator and this was one of the best ever. We left from Victoria COACH station (capitalized because several in our group went to the train station nearby instead) on a brand new bus and traveled to Warwick Castle as our fabulous guide, Cameron, educated us about London and points of interest along the way. We were given ample time to explore Warwick and see what life was like in a working castle through life-like wax figures. Fascinating!! We then went to Stratford and toured Shakespeare’s birthplace with enough time left over to grab lunch or simply tea and a scone. Next was a walking tour of Oxford with time to grab a snack or shop for souvenirs before heading back to London, safe and sound with our capable driver, Sunil, at the wheel. How those buddies manage narrow roads and hairpin turns, I’ll never understand! AMAZING talent!! Though it made for a long day, it was worth every second!
Fantastic Tour!+

5.00Wasn’t aware that the castle tour is self guided after the tour guide gets you in. The William Shakespeare tour was excellent.
