“My husband and I went on this tour on August 10th (Sunday) while visiting London. It would be impossible to truly "know" Oxford unless staying there for a bit... maybe a day or two! However, Nick gave us an amazing amount of information and made our time in Oxford "come alive." He was knowledgeable, humorous and helpful. I loved the fact he gave specifics of things we could do in our hour of free time in Oxford. My husband and I went into the Ashmoleon Museum (my husband had at least 30 minutes to look at the coinage section and LOVED it), which was very close to our pick-up point.…”

“The day Trip was great. The tour host Andy J was self absorbed and continuously spoke about his various work places. The story just didn't add up with the description of the years he spent in different countries. To top it off he left a passenger in Oxford even though she was outside the bus. His behaviour was also a bit odd after our lunch stop at Stratford on Avon. He then slept most of the way back to London. He used all four front seats on the bus for his things. No one could have a front seat. Tour great. Host abysmal.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,139 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $109

Travel from London Victoria by Wi-Fi-equipped coach to Blenheim Palace, Bourton-on-the-Water and Downton Abbey’s Bampton. You’ll hear commentary through a headset, see Churchill’s birthplace, stroll through Cotswolds scenery and visit filming locations. Guides such as Kevin, Simon and Angela have helped bring the day to life.

“Whilst this experience was enjoyable our time at Blenheim Palace was too short and late in the day. We missed the roof experience and the below stairs experience because they closed for the day while we were in the Palace. There should have been much less time in Brouton on the water. There’s not that much to do there and that time would have been better spent at the Palace. Lovely to visit the Downton Abbey sites but not enough time to visit the church and the shop. You could really only choose one.”

12.Warwick Castle, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon & Cotswolds Day trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 828 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $109

Travel by comfortable coach from London to Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s birthplace, Oxford, and the Cotswolds. Guides such as Phil, Cameron, and Pablo are known for lively historical storytelling. You get a strong taste of several English highlights, but no Cotswold village stop.

“I’ve done numerous trips with Viator and this was one of the best ever. We left from Victoria COACH station (capitalized because several in our group went to the train station nearby instead) on a brand new bus and traveled to Warwick Castle as our fabulous guide, Cameron, educated us about London and points of interest along the way. We were given ample time to explore Warwick and see what life was like in a working castle through life-like wax figures. Fascinating!! We then went to Stratford and toured Shakespeare’s birthplace with enough time left over to grab lunch or simply tea and a scone. Next was a walking tour…”

13.Oxford, Stratford, Cotswolds & Warwick Castle Tour from London

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 756 reviews · 10 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $106

Spend a full day beyond London with a guide, visiting Warwick Castle, Shakespeare’s Birthplace, and Oxford, plus a coach ride through the Cotswolds. Guides such as Kelvin, Appleonia, Pablo, and Stefan have earned praise for lively commentary, but the packed schedule leaves little free time and the Cotswolds is mainly a drive-through.

“Calvin and Antonio provided an excellent and safe tour. However, we didn't up going to Cotswold due to some road closures. It would've been a better trip with it. Hoping we get a partial refund for not going to Cotswold as we were looking forward to it. Or it would be nice to go somewhere else instead”
