Learn how the ‘Kingmaker’ was the only man who dared defy the King, and how he defeated the armies of King Edward IV in battle before taking the King himself as a prisoner. Explore the lavishly decorated State Rooms and 17th-century Great Hall; a room boasting an impressive collection of artefacts including suits of armour and medieval weapons.

In the castle’s 14th-century gaol, the original dungeon, see graffiti left behind by prisoners hundreds of years ago. How many names can you spot?

Nurses day out - A bunch of nurses decided to escape the pressures of working today. We booked a tour with Evan and Evans who took us to Warwick castle/ Stratford upon Avon and finally to Oxford. The sites were breath taking, I learnt so much about Shakespeare and his life. Best part of the tour was our funny and witty tour guide ( Cameron) who knew so much about everything. Tony ( the driver) who didn't really smile much was very sensible and excellent with his driving. Thank you. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends.

3 wonderful places to visit! - Very much enjoyed this tour- I researched visiting some of these places on my own and Warwick and Stratford are harder to reach (and expensive) via train from London. So this tour is a great way to see both as well as Oxford all in one day. I felt we had plenty of time in Warwick and Stratford- would have enjoyed more time in Oxford but wouldn't have been feasible in a day trip. It gave me a taste and I know I'll enjoy visiting another time. Bus was comfortable, Pablo was a fun guide, and I felt the price was reasonable for all we did.

London experience - Very informative and interesting. Guide very knowledgeable. My husband and I enjoyed very much. The only bad thing was the weather. Kind of chilly, but that comes with the territory.

Wonderful day! - My friend & I had a marvelous day with our guide Richard & driver Sorin. Richard truly brought history to life! Sorin skillfully navigated the country roads, which was quite a challenge! So glad to have spent the day in their capable hands.

Great day trip from London - Our guide Manan was excellent as was our driver Abi. Warwick Castle was not what I expected. This place would be a great day out for children as there was so many activities for them to do. Adults would enjoy as well. Shakespeare's Birthplace was interesting and Stratford-on-Avon is a very beautiful town. I found an excellent cafe just across from the museum exit. I have visited Oxford previously but found that Manan was very knowledgeable about the area and was very helpful. Time and money well spent!
