What You Can Expect
See Shakespeare's birthplace at Stratford-upon-Avon
From Oxford, travel onward by coach to Stratford-upon-Avon to visit the birthplace of William Shakespeare (own expense): one of the greatest writers in the English language. Then, enjoy some free time to explore the market town that’s home to the theaters of the famous Royal Shakespeare Company. A river winds its way through the town past Holy Trinity church, where Shakespeare is buried. There are half-wooden buildings which date back to Shakespeare's time, including the cottage of Anne Hathaway, who he married in 1582. After exploring, enjoy lunch in one of the town’s many cafes or restaurants (own expense).
Continue from Stratford-upon-Avon to Warwick, home to Warwick Castle. With a history dating back over 1,000 years, the castle will take you to an era of banquets, battles and royal splendor. After entering, your guide will leave you to explore independently. Listen to an introduction to the historical site from Warwick Castle’s history team, and then explore the site at leisure. See the waxwork displays from Madame Tussauds that are showcased at the castle, and see and hear of the Earl of Warwick's preparations for battle. Then, perhaps take a look at the ghostly dungeons where prisoners were tortured.
When your stomach starts to growl, head to the conservatory or castle library to enjoy an afternoon tea. Dine on fresh fruit scones with clotted cream and jam and sip on your choice of tea or coffee; it’s the perfect way to finish your Warwick Castle visit! Then, simply meet your guide back on board your coach to travel back to central London.

We had a wonderful time visiting these 3 attractions. The time is short, but you must go. Warwick Castle is really great and if you have time, go on summer and spend one full day there because there are some special attractions like trebutchet, just, medieval clothing, etc. You have less than two hours to visit, so need to hurry through the walls, state apartments and fields to take photos and know the history. The castle is much like Disneyland today, with shops, tickets, music, but all these elements help to dream of living in that times.
Stratford is a calm and beautiful old city. Go of course to Shakespare museum and visit his house. The shop sells some unique products for fans of good literature. We wish we could have more time in that city, many houses are about 200-700 years old! Oxford was nice, but we couldn't visit Christ Church, so you'll to be lucky, once it suddenly closes. Many historical characters had passed through this University full of richness and knowledge.

My niece and I took this tour, first time she's been to England and the tour was a wonderful experience for both us. Nigel and Marcelo were great, very knowledgeable in the areas we visited and accommodating. I highly recommend this tour to all interested in seeing the English countryside and learning the history of all 3 places.
