Doing what: Warwick Castle, Stratford, Oxford and the Cotswolds Day Trip from London
This was a wonderful day out. We were collected at our hotel in London ahead of the tour start time and shuttled to Victoria Coach Station to board the luxury tour bus. The guide was very amenable and knowlegeable, and imparted information than one could not get doing it on one's own. It's a lot to do in one day, in terms of distances covered, but we felt that we had sufficient time at each site. Times were strictly adherred to, which definitely helped to ensure that everything was covered in the time available. All ticket prices were included in the tour price, so good value in all. Our favorite feature was Christ Church College in Oxford. This tour is highly recommended.

It was the highlight of my time in London - wonderful tour, loved Stratford, Warwick and Oxford. Wish we had more time in Stratford because it was such a charming town. Our guide David was entertaining and hilarious, made our trip even more memorable than our trip to Batch and Windsor Castle (which should have been the more memorable tour). Highly recommend the tour.

Doing what: Oxford, Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Castle Day Trip from London
Short Version: Awesome day, saw A LOT, and GREAT tour guide.
The details: First of all it was wonderfully convenient to get picked up right from our hotel in the morning, giving us time to eat breakfast in the hotel first. This tour was a whirlwind. We went to Oxford first. Our tour guide was just fantastic and full of information. We walked the magnificent campus for about an hour and a half. Next we drove through the breathtaking Cotswold hills region with our tour guide giving wonderful and interesting tidbits the whole drive to Stratford-on-Avon. We again had around an hour and half or so to see Shakespeare's cottage and grad a quick lunch at a local restaurant. The last stop was Warwick castle. This was the one place I wish we had more time at, but again not the fault of the tour guide. If you go on a all day trip with this many stops, you have to understand some places will get short changed. However, this was a great way to get all these great experiences in one day and leave my wife and I more time in London to explore the city!

Doing what: Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Oxford Custom Day Trip
We all had a great day out on this trip, and would recommend to everyone, not just holidaymakers! We live in London, and thought this a good trip at a very reasonable price! The tour guide was very good, an excellent host, very informative and great at keeping us entertained! The only slight downside of the trip is the timings, definitely not enough time to see Windsor Castle, nor explore the beautiful city of Oxford! Would suggest to reduce to two stops with perhaps a break for lunch instead. However I will definitely book more of these trips from this organisation in future!

Doing what: Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Oxford Custom Day Trip
Our tour guide William and the driver Paul were, first of all, some of the friendliest people I've met in my travels. Funny, too. The tours were spectacular. Windsor contained many hidden gems such as the grave of Henry VIII and the current Queen's parents in the Chapel of St George. Oxford included enough free time to visit The Eagle and Child Pub, where Tolkien and C. S. Lewis met with their writer's club. The stop at Stonehenge lasts only half an hour and make sure you bring an umbrella, but unless you book a private tour of Stonehenge, half an hour is all you need. My only complaint was we had to pay extra admission to get into Windsor and Stonehenge upon getting on the bus, an extra 60€ altogether. I was miffed when I paid, but after taking this day long tour, I felt much richer! Have used viator in Egypt, Rome, Paris, and now London, and will certainly use this service again.

Doing what: Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Oxford Custom Day Trip
We just got back from our trip to London, and the day trip out to Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Oxford was fantastic. The tour guide, Rich, and driver Jose were also great. They had a wealth of knowledge to share about each place and offered up great info on places to visit and dine once back in London. We had plenty of time in each segment of the tour. The only small complaint I have is where the pick up location is. My hotel was not part of the list, so when I called they told me it was Victoria Coach Station on Buckingham Palace Road. There are signs for the Coach Station at Victoria Station but once you get outside you don't know where it is. I didnt' know it was a building, I assumed it was where all the bus stops were. Otherwise, it was a great trip out of the city.

Our trip to Warwick Castle, Stratford, Oxford & the Cotswolds from London was the highlight of our time in London. We were picked up from our hotel even though our hotel was not on the list, the staff were warm & friendly. We enjoyed our lunch at the White Hart Pub. A very enjoyable day.

Doing what: Oxford, Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Castle Day Trip from London
What an amazing tour. If you are visiting London, this trip is a must because you get a sense of the "real" rural, historical England. The guide was knowledgeable and amusing and it gave context to everything we saw. Warwick Castle was particularly interesting, with waxworks and live actors combining to provide "an experience" rather than just another castle. If you know and like British history, I really recommend this tour. I probably could have spend half a day at each place, but I'm sure it is the same with any tour. The price covered entry into everything, and each is quite expensive so it's excellent value for money too. There is quite a bit of walking especially in Oxford and to enjoy all three places you really should walk around - there were complaints from a few of the chubby Americans. - With so much to see, there is very little time for shopping or souvenir hunting if that matters to you. I liked the fact that this tour attracted adults and not kids.

My sister and I had a very nice trip out of London. The guide Phil had an amazing amount of knowledge which he delivered with a splash of humour. - Private tour of Oxford which was awesome as we wouldn't have known where to start - Stonehenge and Windsor was very nice - and the time was actually quite sufficient -

This was a really fantastic trip that gave a little taste of the landscape and character of England beyond the city of London. There was just enough time to explore Warwick Castle. In Stratford, there was a bit of time to stroll around town after seeing Shakespeare's birthplace. In Oxford, our tour guide gave us a really nice walking tour with lots of neat information. She was charming and engaging throughout the day. The stop for lunch at a pub in the Cotswolds called White Hart was nice, and the apple pie was superb. All in all, it was a busy but value-packed day trip.

Great tour. We had a very limited time in London and our son really wanted to see Stonehenge. This tour made it a worthwhile trip. We paid the additional for the Stonehenge and Windsor admission. Windsor Castle was a great stop, we went through it quickly, but had time to see everything we wanted and grabbed some delicious sandwiches at "Eat" in the village to eat on the bus which they had no problem with. Stonehenge is just what you expect, big rocks in the ground, but the quick stop there made our son very happy, he loved it! You have just enough time to do the audio tour around the stones, it was cold and rainy, so we did it quickly! The last stop, Oxford, was a wonderful surprise. An incredible place, we got a walking tour with the guide and had plenty of time to wander around on our own. We have done a variety of tours around the world, and this was the best tour guide we have ever had. He was professional, educated, articulate and interested in getting to know his guests and meet their needs. Perfect tour for families who want quick stops, enough time to experience new sights but not enough time for the kids to get bored. Our kids are 9 and 12 and they really enjoyed it, and learned a few things about history along the way, money well spent!

Warwick Castle was amazing, definately the highlight and we spent enough time there to appreciate it. Stratford-on-Avon is more of an open shopping mall, and Shakespear's birthplace thankfully didn't take long. The drive through the Cotwolds was nice. Oxford was interesting, and the best part was being able to see Hogwarts.The guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job, very nice and concerned with making sure everyones needs were met. Warwick Castle was much more interesting than the Tower of London or Windsor.

We are so happy we took this tour. Our tour guide was so informative and nice, he made the trip very enjoyable. When you have limited time on your trip, this is the tour to see. We were able to see each place. It would have been nice to have maybe a hour more at both Windsor Castle and Oxford, but it would also make for a long day. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone going to London on a vacation.

A wonderful tour and excellent local guide. Very efficient and helpful support staff. Stonehenge was magnificent - you cant understand the feeling until you are there. Windsor Castle was majestic - from the gardens to the armor displays, everyone will get something from visiting Oxford - a great walk around Oxford to take in the colleges and historical buildings. The tour is just long enough so you arrive back in London ready to take in London's nightlife. I'd definitely recommend this tour!

Doing what: Oxford, Cotswolds, Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick Castle Day Trip from London
Oxford was fantastic. Cotswolds was pretty, and interesting stories shared by guide along the way. In Stratford, Shakespeare's home was interesting and quaint. Had a nice meal there in the little town. Warwick had the best castle I've ever been to! Guide was extremely clearly spoken and educational. He was a pleasure to deal with, and the driver did a heck of a nice job getting us to and fro in the context of increased road congestion related to the London Underground Railway strike.
