Our tour guide was great, but we had too much time at Warwick Castle and not enough time at Oxford or Stratford. Also, I booked 2 tours with Viator and both times the check in time was much earlier than the departure time. I feel that as an adult we should be responsible for being there early enough to process paperwork, but not that far in advance.

Had a great time - enjoyed seeing another side to the UK other than London. Warwick Castle wasn't what I expected, but it was still interesting.

Felt like we we rushed through the whole thing. The places were great; wish we got to see the inside of Oxford. Did not like the tour operators, who were rude. The places were great and worth seeing.

We only drove through the Cotswolds. I would love to stop in the Cotswolds and actually visit a local pub there or at least get off the bus to take some pictures.

It was very nice, but the weather was ugly!! Enjoyed the castle at Warwick but didn't really get much out of the travel through the Cotswolds. Also, it was nice to see Oxford. I thought Stratford-on-Avon was not worthwhile, and so did others on our bus.

Hoped that we could have more time to spend on each site.

Great day out. Trip was a little bit too rushed.

I wish we had more time at the castle. Bus driver wouldn't slow down to take good pics of the beautiful Cotswolds countryside!

Very well-run, well-organized, and informative. My only complaint is that the Oxford walking tour was perfunctory -- it was so short and high-level as to be almost pointless. The other two segments were just about right.

I had a very good time and enjoyed all aspects of the trip. I particularly enjoyed our tour guide, who played a very important role in making the trip a success, esp with all the historical details. I also have to mention the safe, lovely and wonderful driver.

Stratford-upon-Avon was the highlight of this tour for me. Shakespeare's house was very interesting to see. We would have liked more time there and skipped Warwick Castle. Warwick Castle was not as great to me, I would skip that if possible. It was good for families with kids, that is all. Also the ticket we received was good for all three houses but we were only told it was good for one.
Reviewed by: Andrea M, Canada, January 2009 Note from Viator: Thanks for the tip, Andrea. We'll make sure the tour operator knows to let everybody know the ticket is valid at all three houses.
Would have liked to see more. It seems like what we saw, all seemed the same. Would have liked more time in Stratford. Warwick Castle was the best. All in all, it was a good day.

These sights are worth seeing, but the tour was not a highlight of our trip. We walked through Shakespeare's house in about ten minutes and browsed the town a bit. There's not a huge amount to see if you are not staying for a show. The drive through the Cotswolds was scenic. Oxford was somewhat interesting, although not as attractive as I thought the school would be. Warwick Castle is an impressive structure, but has become very commercialized. I think if you have children, Warwick is a great destination.

Our tour guide was very good. We loved Warwick Castle and were happy with the amount of time we spent there. Stratford-upon-Avon was a bit of a tourist trap, with not much value. We do wish we could have used that time to wander around Oxford some more.
