Not a bad moment on the entire trip. Loved a;l three sights and really enjoyed our guide. Our first encounter with the British dry sense of humor and wit.

This was a great trip to view the English countryside. Oxford was a beautiful city/campus with loads of history and our guide was a great resource. Stratford and Warwick were fantastic as well.

We were able to see all of Warwick Castle! We had a walk around Oxford. We went into Shakespeare's house. Tour guide was friendly & flexible.

Each of these significant historical sites is well worth visiting. The tour guide provided important information regarding each place and adequate time to explore each area as a group and independently. Helpful advice was given so we would know how to best use our time and what was most important to see and do. This was a good combination of locations to visit. The day we went it was a holiday so each place was loaded with people not the tour's fault making it hard to see everything we would have liked, but none the less it was still an excellent tour!

I loved this trip. The walking up and down the stairs at Warwick Castle were hard but worth the trip!

Excellent tour, and our guide was great. I really enjoyed her explanations about the origins of words and how they tied into the sites we visited. She kept everyone together, spoke loud enough, had extra umbrellas for us less prepared folks, and was very concerned that everyone enjoyed their tour. Driver was great, too. His extra effort at drop-off time was greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

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.
