Blenheim was incredible. The palace and history and exhibits were really interesting and beautiful. The Cotswolds was a nice drive through and not as much time spent there as you’d like. But a nice taste. The Downton Abbey village was a cute peak. Thank you Chrissy & Ahmed.

The trip was amazing. Chrissy, our guide was wonderful as well as our driver. The Palace and grounds were beautiful. The downton village was tiny but so pretty. Be prepared to have 20 pence to use the toilets there.
We stopped at Bourton on the water, a lovely village and shopped around. A wonderful day.

I would not recommend taking this tour. We were not given enough time at any of the stops. Our guide made us feel very rushed during the entirety of the trip and didn’t provide a lot of interesting information. If you’re looking to take a tour to any of these locations I would recommend finding another company or hiring a private guide.

The Cotswolds portion of the day was rushed and just a boring tourist trap. We wanted to enjoy the picturesque scenery of the area and saw none of that. And the Downtown abbey portion was just unnecessary and not worth the drive. I love that show but would’ve rathered more time to roam the Cotswolds. We wished to have found a full day walking tour to “hike” the countryside.

Blenheim Palace beautiful and majestic, Cotswolds a mystery of lanes and nature. I had so looked forward to visiting the Cotswolds and I did. Getting lost is easy.

Worst tour and unprofessional guide ever! The guide mostly shared her negative opinions on the Royals, London, foreigners and tourists. Her statements were racist, offensive and vulgar. The tour was disorganised and false marketing – this tour is not about Downtown Abbey at all. Bus driver got lost on the trip multiple times and drove irresponsibly to make up time. Tour guide doesn’t communicate pickup and drop off times and location arrangements clearly and then shames the driver and the travellers for getting confused.
My suggestion would be to do a dedicated Downtown Abbey tour where Highclere Castle is specifically on the agenda, and visit Cotswolds yourself by taking a train or bus. But listening to a guide like this for 9 hours is a torture no one on vacation should experience.

This is a lovely day out from London. Blenheim Castle is stunning, and I appreciated the 2+ hours there — we still have more of the grounds to see next time. Our guide, Andy, was knowledgeable and fun. Lots of time to see the two Cotswold villages too.

Blenheim Palace is excellent. However, it would be better if the tour is guided because the audio is not very helpful. Cotswolds is not that interesting. It was also extremely crowded because we happened to be there on a holiday.

Spent a wonderful day to Blenheim Palace and the Cotswolds with a final stop at Brampton the Downton Abbey village.

Ok overall this trip was poor .Blenheim Palace was excellent but the rest of the trip was poor
I should have done more research as I thought the cotsworlds was a village- instead we where taken on a bus thru several villages and stopped at a village that was a tourist trap
Would not recommend also states the bus would have wi fi yet again no wi fi

I live in London and decided to take a day trip with a bus full of tourists. I had a great day out and it felt like a mini vacation!
The exhibition of coronation robes at Blenheim Palace was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day, the guide’s interesting commentary and my snooze on the way home!

The castle was lovely and our guides were GREAT. The last two stops were way too fast and we did not get to enjoy the spaces. The TV special section was 12-20 min off the bus and get right back on. The tour to the Cotswold village was so lovely and we had no time to see it as we had to get food, eat and get back on the bus. There was no tour of the wonderful church as we thought.
