    Oscar was a fantastic guide and companion, very professional and attentive to detail. It was a pleasure spending the day with him. My only complaint is the limited time at each location, but I understand that's unavoidable.

Day Trip Details

We'll meet at Victoria Station at the designated time and leave London behind, heading out into the English countryside. Ready to discover some of the most beautiful villages in the UK? Let's go!

We'll take a panoramic drive through the Cotswolds, one of the most scenic areas in England, with rolling green hills, rural landscapes, and charming stone villages. From there, we'll make our way to Warwick Castle, a fortress built nearly 1,000 years ago by William the Conqueror. On arrival, a medieval host will welcome us and reveal the castle's best-kept secrets. We'll travel back in time through interactive activities, trying on a medieval helmet, sitting in a grand Victorian hall, and exploring the bedrooms.

After the castle, we'll continue to Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare. We'll explore this charming town and visit the home of one of the greatest writers in literary history.

Our next stop is Oxford, home to the oldest university in the UK. We'll enjoy a guided walk through its most iconic streets, taking in landmarks such as the Bodleian Library, the Bridge of Sighs, and the University Church of St Mary the Virgin.

After an unforgettable journey through the English countryside, we'll head back to London, wrapping up the tour after 10 to 10.5 hours.
