Blenheim cotswolds - Blinheim palace was an amazing place to see and the link to Churchill really was interesting to us The Cotswolds were very nice also wish we would have had more time at both but there is time constraints when covering that much area.

Very nice day west of London - Beautiful day, Blenheim was really special, The Cotswolds, what little you can see in a few hours were picturesque and unique. Brampton was a real connection with Downton Abbey. Our guide was upbeat and knowledgeable but came across as a bit glib at times. Several folks were not respectful of time and caused trip delay. Driver delivered a smooth and scenic ride. Overall we enjoyed the tour.

Great day trip - Kevin was a great tour guide. Knowledgeable, witty everything one wants in a tour guide. It's a perfect way to sample some great places outside of London. We really want to spend more time in the Cotswolds.

Hit the mark! - Kevin and Barrington were awesome! Very historically knowledgeable, funny, witty and kind. A little rushed at Blenheim in order to get to the rest of the itinerary. Still a very positive experience.

From London: Cotswolds, Blenheim Palace & Bampton (Downton Abbey village) - Excellent value for the money. Our guide, Andy was extremely knowledgeable about the area and kept things moving along at a good pace with our driver Remy(?). I enjoyed Blenheim Palace and the visit to Bourton-on-the-Water. Food at the Chip shop was good. Wish we could have done more in the Costwolds area but still very happy with how everything turned out. I’ve never watched Downton Abbey so the significance of the last leg of the trip to Bampton was lost on me but it was still good to visit the Anglican Church - St. Mary. Andy is a fountain of knowledge on the area.

Castle & Cottages in the Countryside - Booth the Blenheim Palace and the villages were interesting and scenic. Megan, our tour guide made this trip pleasant and she shared lots of insights with us about the history of this area. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone that would like to explore the English Countryside.
