It was a good tour, but I wish we could have more time at Warwick Castle and less time at Stratford-upon-Avon. We spent an hour and a half at both Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick Castle. It should have been 40 minutes at Stratford-upon-Avon and two and a half hours at Warwick Castle.

The trip is good but a bit frustrated with the tour leader especially in Oxford during the walking tour. He didn't give us chance to take photographs. He was busy telling us about the place, we appreciated that, but we need to take photographs for our own collections.

This was a great tour with visits to three significant attractions reasonably close to London. We thought that there was ample time at both Warwick Castle and at Stratford but would have appreciated more time in Oxford. But we were very disappointed with our tour guide, who appeared to be uninterested in the whole experience. He gave adequate information but sometimes added a cynical comment. At Oxford, we were looking for a bathroom. Our tour guide directed us to the 3rd level of a department store down the main street - even though there were public amenities just across the road from the bus drop-off. When we asked where we would meet him and the rest of the tour, he merely pointed to the direction he was heading. We had no idea where that was as we had just arrived in this unfamiliar town. Once we found the bathroom and tried to find him, he was nowhere to be seen, and we spent the remainder of our time there looking for him and the others...which we didn't. We saw none of the attractions. In the end, we feared that we wouldn't find the bus as he told us that the bus might not be where we were dropped off. He told everyone where it would be following the walking tour, which we missed. We luckily did end up finding him, but our time in Oxford was ruined through his lack of concern for the three of us. The tour itself was well structured and the bus driver lady was really good.

I was expecting to visit more places in Oxford and Stratford. The tour guide left us more time to shop on our own, which was not my preference.

Warwick Castle was very nice, and my husband loved Oxford. We both felt Stratford-on-Avon was cute but kind of a joke if you were going to see it because it was Shakespeare's birthplace. Our tour guide was great, but the guides for Shakespeare's house were kind of a joke. There is really not much there. The restaurant the tour took us to for lunch was very tasty, and it was a great value at only 10 pounds! I will say that you do not have a lot of time at any of the stops, but there is nothing more the tour company could do if you are to see this much in one day. You will get about 1 hour to an hour and 45 minutes at each stop. Overall, we were happy with our tour and were pleasantly surprised to find out that all of our admissions were included in our tour price as I had read some reviews that said they were not!

It would have been nice if we were told that we needed to pay to go into the Christ Church, because we only had about 20 minutes to go see the Church we weren't able to go in since it took almost 15 minutes to walk back and forth from the church to the bus.

I thought Oxford was a bit boring. We thought Warwick Castle was the highlight of the trip. Stratford was ok, I enjoyed the towns we drove through on the way to our destinations.

We didn't start the trip until about 9:15 a.m. although most people were there before 8:45 a.m. We spent very little time in each spot. I just feel like we could have started the day earlier. The guide tells pretty bad jokes all along. He was trying his best I guess.
