Spend the day exploring castles, charming villages, and historic cities on this immersive tour. See the quaint English homes in the Cotswolds, walk through the medieval Warwick Castle, visit Shakespeare’s birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon, and stroll down the cobbled streets of Oxford.
Leave London behind as you’re transported to the English countryside, making your way to Warwick Castle. Visit the extravagant interiors of the Great Hall and State Rooms, climb the towers for an archer’s view of the historic town of Warwick, and enter the multi-sensory Kingmaker attraction and journey back to 1471 as Richard Neville prepares his army for battle.
Next, head to Stratford-upon-Avon, where you can learn about the life and works of William Shakespeare as you wander around this delightful town where he was born.. You’ll visit the place where Shakespeare’s storey began, his birthplace and family home where you’ll hear tales of his family life and enjoy live theatre performances. Return to the tour bus and drive through the Cotswolds on your way to Oxford, passing through pleasant villages with thatched cottages, tea shops, and ancient inns—cutesy charisma bursting from the seams of every building you pass.
Your final stop is in Oxford, where you embark on a guided walking tour of the University of Oxford, touring the magnificent halls of Christ Church where Harry Potter was filmed. Stop at the Bodleian Library and amble through lush green courtyards surrounded by ornate English architecture before heading back to London.
