Great day - well recommend this tour if you only have a little time to see some English country side.
Tour guide was very knowledgeable which added to the experience. Warwick Castle has a lot of narrow winding stairs so one needs to be reasonably fit.
We did not realise that we would not be dropped back at our hotel of departure though.
Practical Info
While the castle is about 2 hours by bus from central London, Warwick station is a mere mile away from the castle if you choose to take the rail from your original destination. The Birmingham International Airport, only 40 minutes away driving, is also another popular choice for those who choose to stay in town to see Warwick.
