Would visit again in a heartbeat! - Actually being in the real rooms! Also rewatching the dvds and viewing the show after actually being in the rooms is very inspiring!

Small group Downtown Abbey trip - This was a bucket list trip for my wife. I was dreading it since I do not watch the show. However, I was pleasantly surprised and it turned out to be a fantastic day seeing amazing sites. Thanks to our guide, Christopher. He was engaging and he kept the tour moving with just the right amount of talk. Thanks again!

Delightful trip to Downton! - Eva led a wonderful tour ~ She was super knowledgeable, easy to understand, and had a great sense of humor! My only wish is that we had a bit longer in the town… it was a delight to stroll around and chat with the locals. The countryside was lovely, and we were fortunate to have banner weather. Highly recommend!

Amazing!! - The most memorable part of my trip to Downton was seeing the castle for the first time. Looking over the balcony into the main room, walking down the curved staircase., and seeing the beautiful drawing room was a treat! It is as big and impressive as it seems on TV. It was also great to walk through the village.

Excellent Trip - Spectacular Day - Rory was an excellent host! We thoroughly enjoyed his anecdotes about Downton Abbey and Highclere. We learned a lot and got to see even more! We highly recommend this experience for those who want to see “Downton Abbey” and learn about the real world of Highclere.

Great to see Downton, great guide, awful bus - The guide and driver were excellent. But the bus itself was awful. Jammed in the back like sardines and no leg room and seat belts that didnt work properly. Imagine the worst discount flight you have taken and that is what it was like. We enjoyed seeing Downton, but there and back was no fun at all.
